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,
    Laptop, 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.
