Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge R100 Series
This Gauge can be used with a data logger, counter or event recorder, so making it ideal for remote monitoring and recording, or network integration. The principle is well-proved and ensures accuracy with unlimited capacity. The bucket is divided into two parts and mounted on a tungsten axle and pivots. When one part fills, the bucket tips to discharge the water to the ground and also activates a pair of switches. The other part of the bucket then fills and the cycle is repeated, as long as rain is falling. A wire mesh filter prevents the ingress of debris or insects. Other features include a levelling adjustment with indicator and the option of heating, to prevent ice forming in the bucket assembly, down to a temperature of -6°C. A deep cover option with the funnel set 127mm below the rim to prevent rain bouncing out during sudden downpours.
