260-2501-A 8" Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge
Brand: NovaLynx
The 260-2501-A Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge is made for the National Weather Service to offer a dependable, cost-effective rain sensor. It includes an inner funnel to even out the rain flow for better accuracy at higher rainfall rates. Its simple design ensures trouble-free operation and precise rainfall measurements. The tipping bucket mechanism triggers a sealed reed switch for every 0.01" or 1 mm of rainfall (other calibrations available). The gauge has an 8" opening and is made of powder-coated and anodized aluminum. The funnel screen stops debris from entering the gauge. It comes with mounting legs and 25' of signal cable.
