Rain
Digital and analog rainfall measuring sensors
Rain Gauge
Precipitation sensor type is designed to measure the amount and intensity of rain by using the tipping spoon rain gauge system. The optional type with built-in heating is -in a limited range- able to measure solid precipitation (snow, hail) as well.
The orifice of this instrument is approx. 200 cm², approaching the rules of the German Meteorological Service. The corresponding spoon content is 4 cm³, featuring a resolution of 0.2 mm precipitation.
Precipitation events can be recorded by means of a built-in data logger.
Accessories:
1032.0000: Configuration- and read-out software for precipitation data logger
1032.1200: USB interface cable for data read-out
1732.0000: Power supply for type 7043.1000 and 7043.1100
9012.0000: Pole, selfsupporting; for measuring height 1 m
