rain[e]H3 Weighing Pluviometer

Even though the rain[e]H3 pluviometer belongs to the rain[e] series, it deserves its own page in our catalog due do its very advanced capabilities. The rain[e]H3 was originally designed according to specifications by the DWD, the German national weather agency.

The rain[e]H3 pluviometer is intended for use in seasonal or permanent cold climates. The automatic heating melts the snow, prevents icing, and protects the pluviometer from freezing.

The rain[e]H3 Commander software can be used to configure the outputs and perform some diagnostics over a USB interface. Contrarily to the other pluviometers in the rain[e] series, the rain[e]H3 also has an embedded web server and a Ethernet plug.

Multiple outputs are available (depending on the configuration):

• Pulse output (open collectors, insulated and non-insulated)
• 0-20 mA
• 4-20 mA
• 0-2,5V
• 0-5V
• SDI-12
• RS485 (ASCII or TALKER protocols)
• Modbus RTU
• Ethernet 100Mbits/s web interface

The analogical outputs return the rainfall since last measurement whereas numeric outputs can produce all the following outputs:

• Rainfall
• Rain intensity in the last minute
• Mean rain intensity since the last measurement
• Rainfall since the last measurement
• Minimal intensity in the last x minutes
• Maximal intensity in the last x minutes
• Variance over 4s for the above measures
