Low Cost Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge
Cost-effective rainfall sensor with pulse output. Ideal for weather monitoring, agriculture, and hydrology applications.
Product Description
This economical tipping bucket rain gauge is a practical and reliable tool for measuring rainfall volume, intensity, and duration. Designed for cost-effective environmental monitoring, it converts precipitation into a pulse output signal, making it easy to log and transmit real-time rainfall data.
Constructed with a lightweight plastic housing, the sensor includes key features like a built-in level, free-drain nozzle, and insect-proof mesh—all engineered to reduce maintenance while ensuring accurate data collection. An optional auto-heating function prevents snow or ice from disrupting performance in colder climates.
Ideal for use in meteorology, hydrology, agriculture, forestry, and field stations, this sensor can be paired with data recorders to support comprehensive precipitation analysis. It offers excellent measurement stability, compact design, and is suited for a wide range of environmental monitoring projects.
