MicroRX
A compact, rugged, easy-to-install, and cost-effective cellular solution for reliable, long-term field monitoring.
With two available power options — a solar panel for extended deployments or user-replaceable batteries for flexible installation in covered or protected locations — this monitoring station provides inputs for up to five scientific-grade plug-and-play sensors.
Sensors must be purchased separately.
Configurable station-side alarms trigger immediate notifications when critical conditions occur, while the LI-COR Cloud platform (formerly HOBOlink) makes it easy to view, access, and share data.
The station can also be ordered with an additional water level sensor input, featuring integrated flow conversion.
