Rain-O-Matic Professional Rain Gauge
Rain-O-Matic Professional measures the precipitation by
means of a funnel (orifice 200 cm2), which leads the water
down into the self-emptying tipping POM bucket, held inplace
by a hard ferrite magnet. The magnet always exerts just
enough tension to allow the measuring bucket to empty in
one quick movement (less than 300 ms) and then return to its
normal position, ready to collect precipitation once again. This
means the counter weight always remains the same opposite
to other conventional two spoons tipping bucket rain gauges.
PVmet 500 Rain Gauge
The RainWise Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge has an extra large 8” diameter collector that meets the
NWS (US) specifications for statistical accuracy. Every tip of the bucket is hand calibrated to count one
hundredth of an inch of rainfall. The rain gauge is available in wired and wireless models and provide an
economical solution to the annual collection and recording of rainfall data even in remote locations.
A built-in bubble level allows for easy installation of post mounted units. This gauge is commonly used with the PVmet 500.
Rain Gauge Tipping Bucket
The Texas Electronics, Inc. TR-525M Rainfall Sensor
is a remote tipping bucket style rain gauge that
measures the amount of liquid precipitation.
The TR-525M rain gauge is a freestanding receptacle
for measuring precipitation. It contains an open top,
which allows rainfall to fall into the upper portion,
which is called the collector. Collected water is
funneled to a mechanical device (tipping bucket),
which incrementally measures the rainfall
accumulation and causes a momentary closure of a
switch. As water is collected, the tipping bucket fills
to the point where it tips over. This action empties
the bucket in preparation for additional measurement.
Water discharged by the tipping bucket passes out of
the rain gauge with no need for emptying.
