The sensor is compatible with any RX3000 configuration (cellular, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi) that is equipped with the optional four-channel analog input module (RXMOD-A1). It is suggested that a 6-watt solar panel be used to ensure that the battery is kept charged properly. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> A connector housing and terminals are included with each sensor.
