Description

HD2013-DB is a data logger that has been specifically developed to capture and store rainfall trends. It works with a long-life lithium battery and large memory, providing remarkable recording capacity without user intervention. The display auto power-off feature allows a prolonged battery life.

A front LED lets you check the operating status of the instrument when the display is off. The LED changes colour when the rain gauge contact switches, thus allowing to verify that the rain gauge tipping bucket returns correctly in the stable position after emptying.

For user convenience, the battery can be also replaced by three alkaline batteries (not supplied with instrument). The backlit display shows in real time the rain quantity during various time intervals.

The instrument is perfectly waterproof thanks to the use of reed relays. The reed relays are operated through a magnet, attached to the end of an aluminium handle tied to the case. When not in use, the magnet is placed back into its holder.

The software HD32MTLogger supplied with the instrument allows parameters to be set for the instrument, the real time display of the values captured by the data logger, the download to a PC and the process of the stored data.

The connection to the PC is made via the M12 8-pole RS232C serial connector placed at the bottom of the instrument.

HD2013-DB can be connected to HD2015.

Connection to PC

The data logger is provided with an RS232 serial port with 8-pole M12 connector located at the bottom of the instrument.

With the HD32MTLogger software, for Windows® operating systems, it is possible to set the parameters and the language of the instrument, view in real time the values captured by the data logger, download to the PC and process the stored data.
