Tipping bucket rain gauges

SR02 – Paddle Rain Gauge (200 cm²)

The SR02 is a tipping-bucket rain gauge with a collection area of 200 cm² designed to measure the amount of rain and other liquid precipitation using a tipping bucket. Each flip generates a pulse corresponding to 0.2 mm of precipitation. This technology is ideal for connecting to data loggers and telemetry stations for remote monitoring of precipitation and its intensity.

  • Mechanical paddle-type precipitation measurement principle
  • Sensitivity of 0.2 mm of precipitation per pulse
  • Robust, weather-resistant construction
  • Pulse output (contact) for easy connection to telemetry
  • Optional SR02/V version with internal heating for year-round operation

Description

The rain gauge is made of high-quality materials with high resistance to adverse weather conditions. The upper funnel, cylindrical casing, and support structure are made of an aluminum alloy, which ensures a long service life. Inside the rain gauge body is a mechanical tipping bucket with a magnetic contact closure and a spirit level for checking horizontal alignment. Connection is made via a terminal block, from which a pulse output for measurement is routed.

Applications

  • Rainfall monitoring
  • Meteorological measurements and climatological applications
  • Remote measurements using telemetric stations
  • Local flash flood warning systems
  • Research and environmental monitoring
