The leading global data logger vendor has recently announced a portfolio of wireless data nodes named the HOBO ZW Series for monitoring environmental conditions and energy consumption in buildings centrally.
Onset HOBO Z Series Data Nodes
These nodes lower the complexity and cost of collection of data through measurement, recording and transmission of environmental and energy consumption data in real time to a central PC from dozens of points. These nodes function together through a self healing wireless network, unlike customary data loggers, for transmission of logged data at regular intervals to a PC, thereby removing the requirement of spending time to retrieve data gathered from separate loggers installed in a facility.
These wireless nodes can be utilized for the measurement of relative humidity, CO2, kilowatt hours, AC voltage, gauge pressure, amps and many other parameters.
These can be installed easily in any facility and harness and leverage the strength of the self-healing MESH networking technique. This ensures automatic routing of data back to a PC and at the same time enabling easy and fast sensor network set up.
Users will be able to easily and speedily configure data node networks using the HOBOware Pro 3.0 software and set up alarms for the network sensors and view environmental and energy data in real time. Alarm notifications are transmitted through text messages to mobile phones or/and emailed to PCs. The software offers a Network Map feature for at-a-glance depiction of the network and permits data export to Microsoft Excel and various spreadsheet programs through a single click.
