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
