Note on Bucket RT and Bucket NRT values: These level values are not exactly zeroed in case of an empty
collecting bucket. Depending on the climatic ambient conditions, they vary by maximum ±10 mm around zero.

+0 = Orifice rim heater working properly
+1 = W:Temp. of orifice ring rim > 40 °C
+2 = A: Temp. of orifice ring rim < –20 °C
+4 = A: Temperature sensor not connected
+8 = A: Temperature sensor short-circuited
+16 = A: Communication to rim heater
module is defective (the pipe hous-
ing may have been removed)
+32 = A: Orifice rim heater self-test failed
+64 = W:Orifice rim heater temporarily
disabled
+128 = W:Orifice rim heater disabled or not
present
W = warning; A = alarm.
When the OTT Pluvio
2
S unit outputs other values than those
indicated here, several events have occurred simultaneously.
In such a case, the individual values are added up.
Example: “+65” ➝ Sum obtained from warnings “+1” and
“+64”. The status information output – assuming the cause
has been rectified – will be reset the next time the command
aM! is used.
