Rain Gauge – Tipping Bucket Rainfall Sensor for Weather Stations
This RS485 tipping bucket rain gauge delivers accurate rainfall measurement for meteorology, hydrology, smart agriculture, and weather monitoring systems. Built with a streamlined tipping mechanism, durable ABS enclosure, and easy horizontal adjustment, it provides reliable and low-maintenance precipitation monitoring for long-term outdoor installations.
The RS485 tipping bucket rain gauge is designed for precise measurement of liquid precipitation in weather, hydrology, agricultural, and environmental monitoring applications. Using a high-quality tipping bucket mechanism, the sensor converts rainfall into digital pulses and transmits data via RS485, making it ideal for integration with data loggers, PLCs, weather stations, and industrial monitoring networks.
The tipping bucket features a 3D streamlined design for smooth operation and minimal debris buildup, ensuring long-term accuracy with minimal maintenance. The enclosure includes venting beneath the funnel to prevent leaves or debris from blocking water flow, allowing consistent and reliable measurements even in outdoor, high-exposure environments.
Installation is straightforward: the base includes an adjustable horizontal level, and the package provides ground-mount screws for immediate deployment. For pole-mount installations, the WS-K2 bracket kit can be added. Built from durable ABS and designed for long-term environmental exposure, this rain gauge is suitable for professional meteorology, smart farming, hydrology studies, and climate research applications.
