OTT HydroMet Pluvio 2 L 200 Manual

Precipitation Gauge
Using the weighing principle
The OTT Pluvio² L reliably and accurately measures both the amount and the intensity of liquid, solid, and mixed precipitation
Lifetime factory calibration, drift-free measurements, and robust protective housing eliminate field visits for instrument service
Multiple communication interfaces: SDI-12, RS-485, and Pulse Output options
Solar panel power options make the instrument ideal for remote locations
Easy software setup and a USB interface for communication with computer
Wind protection shield available for particularly exposed locations
Ready for All Conditions
In line with the standards applicable in the world, the OTT
Pluvio L is available in two versions: One has a bucket orifice of
2
200 cm and a measuring capacity of 1500 mm, the other has

a bucket orifice of 400 cm
2
mm. Both versions are optionally available with ring heating.
Suitable for Any Location
Conceived for a precipitation intensity range of 0.05 to 3,000
mm/h, the OTT Pluvio² L reliably measures heavy tropical
rain and arctic snow showers. As the bucket orifice has
no funnel, heavy and solid precipitation are recorded with
precise timing. The OTT Pluvio
continuously with the highest availability of data and without
evaporation losses from heated funnels or buckets so that
solid precipitation is measured correctly.
with a measuring capacity of 750

expectations and at the same time stands out with relatively
low operating costs. It complies with all requirements of
WMO manual No. 8.
Virtually maintenance-free
