measures the amount of precipitation over a certain period of time, often in millimetres, and uses the "tipping bucket principle" to empty itself of water from a certain height by tipping over. This is recorded each time, allowing the amount of precipitation to be calculated.
This rain gauge contains an integrated data logger and modem. It has a built-in battery with a service life of several years, a very robust design and the possibility of exporting measurement data to Excel, HTML or csv. The rain gauge can also be directly connected to a logger or sampler and 'trigger' another sensor to take a measurement. The data can therefore be read locally via radio or forwarded externally via HF, GSM or GPRS. It can also be directly connected to a PLC at any time.
