Command Response Description
(continuation
of aD2!)
<value9>
– Status
pbbbb
+0 = Precipitation gauge working
p
roperly
+1 = W:Bucket level ≥ 80 %
+2 = W:USB interface is/was connected
+4 = W:Restart (due to power failure)
+8 = W:Restart (due to firmware)
+16 = W:Weight change out of range
+32 = W:Supply voltage < 7 V
+64 = A: Weight measurement unstable
+128 = A: Weight measurement incorrect
+256 = A: Weight below minimum
+512 = A: Weight above maximum
+1024 = A: No weight calibration
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: “+34” ➝ Sum obtained from warnings “+2” and
“+32”. The status information output – assuming the cause
has been rectified – will be reset the next time the command
aM! is used.
