Fast, safe & maintenance-free: The WS100 radar precipitation sensor in use
The Lufft WS100 is maintenance-free radar precipitation sensor for hydro-meteorological monitoring. The only one of its kind – it recognizes the type and amount of precipitation from the first drop, and is preferred for remote locations.
WHY WS100?
The WS100 helps to make important operational decisions within a few seconds. With its modern radar technology and fast response rate, it detects precipitation from the first drop. This sensor is ideal for immediate detection of a precipitation event and highly suitable for urban hydrology and dense precipitation networks.
ABSOLUTELY MAINTENANCE-FREE OPERATION
Maintenance-free operation through ingenious technology without any moving parts. This distinguishes the sensor significantly from other methods for measuring precipitation such as the tipping bucket, the weighing principle or the optical method.
WHEN EVERY SECOND COUNTS
The WS100, with unprecedented speed, precisely measures precipitation from the first drop. It measures the precipitation intensity up to 7.9 inches per hour and detects drops with a size of up to 0.2 inch.
DIFFERENTIATES THE TYPE OF PRECIPITATION
Using a 24-GHz Doppler radar, it measures the speed of all forms of condensed water that can be observed on the Earth’s surface or in the atmosphere. These include rain, freezing rain, hail, snow and sleet.

We are pleased to announce OTT Hydromet latest new product, the HYDROLAB HL7 multiparameter water quality sonde.
HYDROLAB HL7 multiparameter sonde is designed for long-term, continuous monitoring, reliability and usability. The HL7 offers a versatile, durable and practical solution to the day to day needs of environmental monitoring programs for both simple and complex deployments.
The HL7 sonde, with a large sensor suite, can thrive in demanding environmental conditions for long-term continuous monitoring or profiling. The HL7 sonde has a temperature sensor, seven external sensor ports and an optional internal depth sensor. It helps our customers correctly log data autonomously, and easily integrates into real time telemetry systems – Including Sutron SatLink3 and OTT netDL logging transmitters for remote satellite or IP communication.
HYDROLAB Operating System (HOS), for use with the HYDROLAB HL7 and HL4, helps the customer make better decisions, minimize errors and increase efficiency in the lab and on the deployment site. This intuitive software is simple to use as it streamlines data collection and calibration tasks necessary to validate accurate data. Users can quickly view the status of the instrument and ensure it is working properly by viewing active alerts, color coded health indicators and sensor diagnostics. This powerful software also provides calibration logs and metadata to help validate measurements and fulfill QA/QC requirements.
HYDROLAB HL7 Features and Benefits
- Self-monitoring system reports the status of the instrument
- Designed to withstand the heavy everyday use of demanding field deployments
- Typical battery life capable of greater than 90 days deployment helps ensure maximum performance
- Anti-fouling sensor cleaning brush significantly extends field use and decreases biofouling
- Quick and simple removal of battery cartridge
- Field proven sensor measurement technology for data continuity and serviceability
Warranty: The HL7 will have the standard HYDROLAB, 2 – year warranty.

We are glad to inform you, that OTT Hydromet group will be present at the World Expo 2017 from October 10th to 12th in Amsterdam (http://www.meteorologicaltechnologyworldexpo.com).
The OTT Hydromet group presents itself there with a common booth (stand 8080) with displays of Lufft, OTT and SUTRON/METEOSTAR solutions.
Furthermore there will be workshops in a separate conference room within the exhibition venue on Wednesday, October 11th (full day). Workshops will cover different topics (Meteorological sensor solutions from Lufft and OTT; Sutron data loggers and MeteoStar weather products).
Join OTT Hydromet group at their booth in Amsterdam #8080 and workshop sessions!
In case you will attend the exhibition and have any specific topics or issues that need to be covered/discussed please contact in advance Romans Kackans: +371 28623395, romans@hidrolab.lv.
LIVE WEBINAR:
Mobile Runway Sensor on Airports – July 13, 2017
You are invited to Lufft webinar about runway weather detection and more efficient TALPA applications/workflows on airports.
Visit this webinar and you will learn more about MARWIS, the compact, fast and digital sensor that can be mounted on all kinds of airport portal vehicles. It directly delivers the runway condition to mobile devices and stationary outputs such as in a control center (TWR). Therefore, it supports the airport operators in the patrol car during the runaway assessment without detours.
Lufft expert in aviation, Eric Cottone, will explain how MARWIS gets considerably more information to aviation professionals for their decision-making, automatically retrieving data, thus freeing precious time for the TALPA workflow.
Lastly, this webinar will give you the chance to ask questions to Lufft expert for optical sensors, Holger Wille.
Date: July 13, 2017 | 11am (UDT)

About the webinar:
Goodbye cable clutter, hello all-in-one weather sensors: Lufft is proof of the fact that professional measurement technology does not always have to be complicated. With Lufft experience in weather sensor manufacturing they are the first to offer modular, all-in-one weather sensors for the solar industry that require only a single cable connection.
In this webinar, Udo Kronmüller will discuss how, in addition to solar radiation, other environmental factors such as temperature, wind, precipitation and lightnings also affect the productivity and stability of utilities. The long-term stability of smart weather sensors means that you leave nothing to chance while monitoring every possible influencing factor.
Overview of Lufft Smart Weather Sensors
We are pleased to announce the launch of the new OTT Double Winch as a part of the OTT Cable Way System.
Offering:
- New Electrical Double-Drum Winch for OTT Cable Ways
- New Mechanical Double-Drum Winch for OTT Cable Way
OTT cable way systems provide safety where mobile discharge measurements in water or from a bridge cannot be performed. They are driven mechanically or electrically and are available for span lengths of up to 160 m. The systems are DEKRA type approved and meet all applicable safety requirements. The components do not require any maintenance; lubrication or oil changes are not necessary.

Flood Warning solutions
How to prepare for flood with OTT Hydromet?
If you happen to live near a river flood maybe a constant worry. The best way to prepare is to know in advance when it might come. Following weather news helps. But also monitoring water flow rates and water levels in the nearby river is often the best option. Keeping an eye on the pulse so to say.
Flood warning systems built into hydrological stations are used to notify local emergency authorities in the case of a flood event.
OTT water level sensors and continuous flow sensors, paired with telemetry technology and OTT Hydrosystems are able to measure, collect, and transmit water level and velocity data in real-time to determine the peak level or flow during flood events, and alert local water and emergency authorities if a certain threshold is breached.
Prepare for flood:
