Product Description

Rk400-01 Outdoor Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge Sensor for Meteorological Station

Product Description

The RK400-01 Tipping Bucket Rainfall Sensor is an instrument for testing rainfall in the nature. In order to meet the requirement of information transmission, processing, recording and display, the amount of rainfall is converted to pulse output. It can be widely used in weather stations, hydrometric stations, agriculture & forestry, defense & field monitoring stations. It can provide the original data for flood-prevention, water-supply system, and reservoir water management in plant.
FEATURES

Company Profile

Working Process
Rainfall is captured in the 200mm diameter collector funnel and is directed through a delivery
pipe to fill a divided ABS injection molded tipping bucket device.The bucket is pivoted through
its center and has a preset calibration to tip for 0.2 mm of rainfall. When the bucket is "full"
, it pivots and empties - this action magnetically closes and opens a reed switch, sending a pulse
signal to the data logger or electronic counter. Through this tipping "seesaw" action, the other
side of the bucket is aligned to receive the flow from the delivery pipe. This recording and
tipping cycle continues with rainfall.
