APPLICATIONS & FEATURES

  • Meteorological station
  • Stormwater management
  • Rain enters gauge through an eight inch orifice, protected by distortion preventing aluminum ring
  • Collected water passes through debris-filtering screen and is funneled into one of two tipping buckets inside the gauge.
  • When a given amount of water collects, bucket tips (amount determined by calibration).
  • Tipping causes magnet to pass over proximity switch, closing it momentarily.
  • Second bucket positions under funnel for filling.
  • After rain is measured, it exits through drain tubes with screen covered holes in the base of the gauge.
  • Designed for many years of accurate, trouble-free operation
