Low-cost Pluviometers PLVEM5-50 and PLVEM5-100

ICT International's PLEM5 Pluviometer consists of a EM5B data logger with a choice of either the ECRN-50 or ECRN-100 tipping-bucket rain gauges. The ECRN-50 has a 1mm tip and the ECRN-100 has a 0.2mm tip. This low-cost system offers standalone measurement suitable for any short- or long-term application.

Easy-to-Use Data Collection

The compact data logger is suitable for any short- or long-term, remote data logging application. It features very low current consumption, requiring only 4 x AAA batteries for up to 1 year's use. Rainfall events from the rain gauge are stored in memory, which can be downloaded to a laptop or desktop computer using an RS-232 cable and terminal program.
