Rain Gauge - ADCON RG1
Adcons RG1 rain gauge is an extremely robust and accurate device that
is suitable for many applications, from agriculture to hydrographics to
general meteorology. The RG1 is available with a resolution of 0,1mm and
0,2mm and orices of 200cm² and 400cm², making it compliant with all
WMO guidelines.
The sensor employs a double tipping bucket assembly measurement unit.
Each tipping action triggers a pulse of a debounced reed switch with a lifetime of >1 Million pulses. The rain gauge can be connected to any logger
with a pulse input.
