Overview
The Onset HOBO MicroRX Water Level Station is a cellular, web-enabled water level monitoring solution for stormwater, floodwater, irrigation, hydrologic, and environmental applications. Pre-programmed water flow formulas for select weirs, flumes, and a stage discharge table result in an easy and intuitive configuration.

Mechanics
New water flow and accumulated rainfall calculations, which are performed directly on the station at time of measurement, trigger immediate notifications of critical water level conditions. The compact and durable station, together with the non-vented water level sensor, enables harsh condition deployments and reliable monitoring. The optional integrated solar panel or battery power, with a wide range of plug-and-play smart sensors, supports flexible environmental monitoring.

Benefits

  • Station-side alarms for water flow and accumulated rainfall triggered at time of measurement
  • Non-vented ceramic water level sensor with a choice of four ranges
  • Interchangeable, Kevlar-reinforced water level sensor cables
  • Integrated barometric pressure sensor
  • Compact IP66/NEMA 4X enclosure
  • Built-in LCD confirms proper setup and operation
  • Two power options:
    • Integrated 1.7 W solar panel with rechargeable battery pack
    • 5 W and 15 W external solar panels can be added (RX2104 only)
  • User-replaceable AA lithium batteries
  • Inputs for five plug-and-play sensors
  • Up to 10-minute connections rates via 4G cellular data plans
  • Cloud-based monitoring and data access through HOBOlink
  • Available with stainless steel or titanium sensor ends
  • 3-point NIST-traceable calibration certificate included for the water pressure sensor
Questions & Answers
Does this come with an active cellular account?
The MicroRX station requires a HOBOlink service plan, which can include an active 4G SIM card/data account. Alternatively, the customer can provide their own 4G SIM card with the SP-611 service plan. See the Accessories tab for more information.
Can other sensors be integrated with this station?
Yes, the MicroRX water level station includes inputs for five plug-and-play Onset smart sensors.

Carbon and Nutrient Monitoring in the Great Lakes Using Satellite Observations

Carbon and nutrients are the foundation of lake food webs and play an important role in the chemical and physical processes that shape aquatic ecosystems and various lake dynamics. Studying these cornerstones can help improve understanding of other lake conditions like harmful algal blooms, hypoxia, and phytoplankton community composition. The way in which these characteristics are monitored varies, though many rely on a proxy approach wherein parameters are extrapolated from the measurement of a different parameter. An assistant professor at Cleveland State University, Brice Grunert, is working to improve current strategies and take a satellite approach to monitoring the Great Lakes.

Restoring North Texas Streams to Historical Flows

North Texas is one of the fastest-growing regions in the state, an area that is expected to face increasing water needs. In order to meet these demands, the Upper Trinity Regional Water District ( UTRWD ) is building Lake Ralph Hall near Ladonia in southeast Fannin County, Texas. The lake has been in the works since 2003, with construction finally beginning in 2021. The population of the UTRWD is expected to grow 5-fold over the next 50 years, leading to increased water use. Ed Motley, Program Manager with the UTRWD stresses that even with conservation and reuse, new sources like Lake Ralph Hall are essential to meeting near-term and long-term water needs to support regional growth.

Science for Science’s Sake: Monitoring Ocean Energy Availability and Gulf Stream Dynamics 

Scientific research often begins with a question, sometimes driven by a specific goal or application, but many scientists believe in science for science’s sake. Marine environments and physical dynamics like the Gulf Stream are popular fields of research due to their complexity and importance, presenting a unique opportunity to learn more about previously unexplored phenomena. Environmental researchers, in particular, see the value in these ecosystems, but many also grew up with a passion for the natural world, and choosing a field that allows them to interact with and learn about the environment around us is an easy choice.
