OTT NADP Pluvio/Remote Monitoring Module (RMM)

The OTT NADP Pluvio all-weather weighing precipitation gauge accurately and reliably measures liquid and solid precipitation. The superior weight-based technology provides precise volume and intensity measurements. Internal software filters minimize false precipitation readings caused by wind, evaporation, and/or temperature.

 

The OTT Pluvio participated in a three phase performance evaluation test conducted by the United State Geological Survey (USGS) for the National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP). The NADP approved the OTT NADP Pluvio for use in their network upon completion of the tests and evaluation of the results.

 

The Remote Monitoring Module (RMM) is an advanced ruggedized communication module designed to meet NADP precipitation power and logging needs. Combining the OTT NADP Pluvio with the RMM meets NADP Precipitation Station modernization requirements. The RMM provides continuous power to the Pluvio Precipitation Gauge while logging and storing data for future retrieval.

 

Features:

  • Continuous, automatic measurement of liquid and solid precipitation.
  • Calibration easily checked in the field with use of precise reference weights.
  • Optional ring heating device for winter operation.
  • NEMA 4 Rugged Enclosure equipped with a Campbell CR800 Logger, battery backup (gel-cell), lightening protection, dual power mode (solar ready), and voltage regulator.
  • Connect up to three monitoring collectors.
  • Bluetooth communication option for data logger.

 

Installation:

  • The NADP Pluvio and RMM installs on a 2-inch pole. The RMM includes mounting u-bolts for installing the RMM enclosure.
  • The 24 VDC power supply supplied by Hach Environmental requires connection to a 120VAC power source.
