The HOBO U30-NRC weather station starter kit is a rugged data logging weather station with out-of-the-box convenience. Combining the HOBO U30-NRC remote monitoring system and a number of weather sensors including a temperature/RH sensor, wind speed sensor, and wind direction sensor, the U30-NRC provides a basic platform from which other sensors can be added.

The U30-NRC accepts up to 10 plug-and-play Smart Sensors. Just plug in your sensor and it's automatically recognized – no programming, wiring or calibration necessary. Additional sensors for barometric pressure, leaf wetness, light intensity, rainfall, soil moisture, and more are fully supported by the U30-NRC.

The U30-NRC is designed for rugged outdoor environments. All electronics are housed within a double-weatherproof, tamper-proof enclosure tested to NEMA 6. External power is supplied via a 3W solar panel to accommodate remote applications. Data can be recorded and monitored remotely via HOBOlink. Use HOBOware Pro software to set up analog data channels, communicate with the logger locally, and perform advanced plotting and analysis.

Features include fast data offload via USB, optional analog inputs with sensor excitation, and an alarm output relay rated for 30V and 1A max that can be activated, deactivated, or pulsed, and configured as normally open or normally closed.
