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
