The HOBO Wind Monitoring Station is an easy-to-deploy, low-cost cellular wind monitoring solution. The web-enabled HOBO MicroRX station, together with the Davis Wind Speed/Direction Smart Sensor offers long-term, reliable monitoring of wind conditions. Configurable station-side alarms provide immediate notification of critical conditions, allowing you to easily maintain OH&S compliance, and Onset's cloud-based HOBOlink platform makes it easy to view, access, and share your data.
Features:
- Integrated solar panel for easy long term deployment
- Remote access to data and current conditions with a customizable dashboard for analysis
- Alarm notifications via text/email when conditions reach user-set thresholds
- Inputs for five plug-and-play smart sensors
- Real-time monitoring with up to 10-minute connection rates via 4G cellular

Wind sensor (S-WCF-M003):
Davis Wind Speed/Direction Smart Sensors are compatible with all HOBO weather station loggers, HOBOware, and HOBOlink. They offer the same ease-of-use as existing Onset Smart Sensors, providing cost-effective HOBO weather stations for projects on a tight budget. The sensors feature a plug-in modular connector for easy installation, and all configuration parameters are stored in the sensor and automatically communicated to the logger, eliminating the need for programming or extensive setup.
Materials:
- Outer enclosure: Polycarbonate/PBT blend with brass inserts
- Interior: Polycarbonate/PBT
- Gasket: Silicone foam
- Cable channel: Santoprene TPE
- U-Bolts (not included): Steel with zinc dichromate finish
Solar power:
- Integrated 1.7 watt solar panel and NiMH rechargeable battery pack; optional AC power adapter (P-AC-1) or external solar panel (SOLAR-xW) can be used in place of integrated solar panel
- Typical battery life: Typical 3 to 5 years when operated in the temperature range -20 to 40 C (-4 to 104 F); operation outside this range will reduce the battery service life.
- Maximum connection rates with built-in solar panel, in full sun: 10 minute connections year round for latitudes less than +/- 40 degrees; 10 minute connections through three seasons in other regions, reduced to 30 minute connections in winter
