OTT MF Pro Velocity and Depth Sensor

Reliable data for water level, temperature, and conductivity

The Ott MF pro is a magnetic-inductive flow meter designed for SxS wading rod measurements in smaller rivers and open channels. The low-maintenance system consists of a compact light-weight sensor and a robust handheld unit that reliably operates even under rough environments. Both system components are designed to be attached to conventional wading rods.

Discharge automatically calculated
The OTT MF pro computes discharge automatically based on USGS and ISO methods, saving time and eliminating potential for error caused by written transcription.

Real-time velocity
Velocity is graphed in real-time on the meter’s color display, allowing trends to be visualized quickly.

 

Maintenance-free
The electromagnetic sensor head has no moving parts and is virtually maintenance-free.

 

Versatile applications
The sensor’s magnetic inductive measurement principle makes the OTT MF pro ideal for use in low-flow conditions and environments heavy in organic matter, unlike mechanical or acoustic meters.

 

User-friendly handheld
A lightweight, water-resistant handheld features a full color display that is easily readable even in bright sunlight. Depth sensor: optionally included in the unit or station.

OTT PLS 500

Pressure Level Sensor, SDI-12, Metric, 0 – 10 m

Building on years of experience with the robust and accurate Ott PLS, the PLS 500 water level monitoring solution adds innovative metadata and internal sensors to remotely verify device performance providing peace of mind for long term deployment

The Ott PLS 500 measures water level, depth to water, or pressure by means of an easy to maintain, ceramic pressure cell. This highly accurate sensor includes design features such as four internal compensations, stainless steel housing, and a rugged cable making it ideal for monitoring water level in a variety of applications. Common communication protocols (SDI-12 and Modbus RTU) allow for seamless integration with external data loggers. The accurate temperature measurements and built-in microcontroller compensate for environmental changes in water density. Built-in QA/QC and metadata along with reduced sensor drift allow you to have full confidence in your long-term data.

Automatic Compensations
Automatically compensate for changes in atmospheric pressure with the vented probe. Reduce the amount of equipment needed in field by forgoing additional barometric pressure sensors and achieve better accuracy with a single compensated sensor.
Position Sensor
Remotely monitor probe movement in the field with an internal inclinometer, enabling warnings if sensor position has changed due to in-stream events via automatic status flags or direct measurement.
Internal Humidity Sensor
The integrated internal humidity sensor outputs automatic status flags or direct humidity measurements to help you understand if condensation may have formed, impacting your pressure measurements.
Data Processing
Internally convert high frequency (4 Hz) measurements to calculations such as computed averages, minimum/maximum levels, and instantaneous values over user defined intervals, enabling greater information reporting and eliminating manual data post-processing/analysis.
Discharge Calculations
Automatically calculate discharge from either a user defined rating table or ISO 1100-2 exponential formula set-up via SDI-12 commands. Minimize the need for data post-processing by directly outputting discharge from a trusted level sensor.
Rugged Design
Ceramic pressure cell resistant to physical force and enclosure made of high-quality, saltwater resistant 904L stainless steel for use in coastal environments. The robust ceramic pressure cell offers industry-leading accuracy and does not deform over time like membrane technology, providing long-term measurement stability.
