Summary

PLUVIO Pulse Output Overview

Pulse Output Functionality

The pulse output version is cost-effective for external data acquisition systems, outputting precipitation increases as pulses.

Device Design

Uses the same weighing mechanism and housing as other versions, but with a pulse-output board instead of OTT-LOG.

Measurement Functionality

Internal timer sets a one-minute interval. Measurement and evaluation systems activate each minute.

Output Data Format

Precipitation increases are output as pulses immediately after measurement. Two resolution levels and output wirings are available.

Power Failure Behavior

Timing unit and RAM are buffered for ~2 days. Measurement resumes on voltage recovery; data may be lost if recovery is delayed.
