Step 3 - Discover Nodes
Open HOBOnode Viewer and click the AutoSearch. The receiver will
search for 4 minutes for any HOBOnodes or HOBOnode Repeaters within
its range. The yellow Search LED on the receiver will blink while searching.
Step 7 - Deploy HOBOnode Repeaters (if required)
If you have HOBOnodes outside of range due to distance or Line of Sight
restriction, you will need to use a HOBOnode Repeater. Connect the antennas
to the HOBOnode Repeater as shown below.
Step 6 - Deploy HOBOnodes
Deploy HOBOnodes in desired locations. Attach the
mounting bracket to a wall, post, or tree, then insert
HOBOnode into bracket. Make sure the cable is hanging
down and create a drip-loop.
FCC Compliance
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Onset Computer Corporation could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF radiation exposure limits for general population, the HOBOnode
Receiver and the HOBOnode Repeaters must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20cm from
all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Canada
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain of 15 dB.
Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 15 dB are strictly prohibited for use with this
device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
FCC Declaration of Conformity
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Step 4 - View Node Information
In Campfire, select the Serial Number tab to view information about each
node.
Step 5 - View Plots
In Campfire, select the Node Plots tab to view data plots.
Step 8 - Verify Connection to HOBOnode and Receivers
After you have deployed the units,
perform an AutoSearch again using
Campfire to make sure that all the
HOBOnodes and Repeaters can still
connect to the HOBOnode Receiver.
You may need to reposition the units
and AutoSearch again to achieve the
connection.
