A tipping-bucket rain gauge with RS485 communication for precise measurement of liquid precipitation.
Key features
A calibrated double bucket, with a leaf guard and a built-in level.
Applications
Suited to weather, hydrological and agricultural rainfall monitoring.
What this product isThe tipping-bucket rain gauge collects precipitation through a 200 mm diameter funnel and directs it to a calibrated double bucket. Each tip corresponds to 0.2 mm of precipitation, and the built-in mechanism makes it possible to track the amount, intensity and duration of rainfall.
The technical values apply to the selected RS485 version for integration with the AGRO VEDA station.
