U30-NRC HOBO USB Power & Energy Logger (5 to 15 channels)

The HOBO U30-NRC USB Data Logger is our most rugged data logging system that can be easily reconfigured and adapted to a wide variety of applications.
5 channels standard or up to 10 channels/15 channels of environmental data can be measured and recorded in this model configuration, and later analyzed with HOBOware® Pro software.

Normal operating range: -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 104°F)

Sensor Inputs: 10 standard; option to expand to 15

Smart Sensor Compatibility: Compatible with most Onset smart sensors, except for the S-BPA, S-TMA and S-THA

Data Channels: Maximum of 15 (some sensors use more than one data channel)

Alarm Output Relay: Can be configured to be activated, deactivated or pulsed on user-defined sensor alarms. The relay can be configured as normally open or normally closed, and is rated for 30 V and 1 amp max.

Expansion Slot: One expansion slot is available for factory-installed expansion port.

Local Communication: Full Speed USB via USB mini-B connector

Size: 17.8 H x 11.7 D x 19.3 W cm (7.0 H x 4 .6 D x 7.6 W inches)

Weight: 2 kg (4 lbs 10 oz)
