Building reliability into outdoor sensors with OTT Hydromet

OTT Hydromet has launched a suite of high quality weather monitoring sensors, ideal for the construction and building management sectors.

Nigel Grimsley, OTT Managing Director, provided some insight into the sensors: “Our latest Lufft sensors, the WS Series, deliver professional-grade weather data with instruments that are extremely compact, rugged and reliable.

“In the past, customers would have had to purchase multiple sensors to monitor outdoor conditions effectively, but this can now be achieved with substantially less costly devices; many of which would fit in the palm of your hand.”

Weather monitors are regularly used at construction sites, to assess whether conditions are suitable for work, such as pouring concrete or crane operation.

However, with facility managers seeking more sustainable solutions, Nigel believes the big market is now building management. 

OTT Hydromet is a specialist manufacturer of smart weather instruments for environmental monitoring and building automation purposes.

With no moving parts, OTT’s comprehensive range of compact, low-energy multiparameter sensors offer long-term reliability for almost any weather parameter with easy integration into building control and HVAC systems.

The WS range offers customers the ability to select from a range of parameters including temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, wind velocity/direction, precipitation amount/intensity/type, UV index, sun direction, brightness and twilight, and global radiation.
