Function
Automatic logging of rainfall, unlimited
rainfall capacity, highly accurate rain
gauge with impulse output.
The systems uses the latest data logger
series to record rainfall using a precision
tipping bucket rain gauge. A divided
bucket pivoted at the centre tips when a
predetermined amount of rain water is collected
at one side of bucket. The tipping
action magnetically closes a reed switch
which sends a pulse to the logger. The
other side of the bucket then will fill up
and the process is repeated. A choice of
either 0,1 mm or 0,2 mm per tip sensitivity
is available.
The system is supplied with an RS-232
cable and evaluation software compatible
to use with PC, Lap-Top, Data Flash
Card, RF Modem and GSM/GPRS Data
Modem device, complete with rain gauge,
datalogger, battery, RS-232 cable and
Windows data management software
