YES-H-RF-01-FRP/SS - Tipping bucket rain gauge is used for automatic measurement of rainfall. Rain Gauge consists of twin buckets mounted on a horizontal shaft. It has two stable positions. The collector area of the rain gauge is 201 cm2. The rainfall collected by the receiver reaches to one of the twin bucket through a funnel.Thus a volume of 20.1 cm3 corresponds to 1 mm of rainfall, or equivalent to two full buckets. It measures the rainfall with a least count of 0.5mm and gives out two electrical pulses for every millimeter of rainfall. The weight of 10.05 cm3 of rainfall causes the tilting of the bucket from one stable position to another stable position and brings the other bucket under the funnel for collecting rain water.Every time the bucket tilts, the small magnet attached to the horizontal shaft of the bucket actuates a reed switch generating one electric pulse. Facility for leveling the bucket for proper calibration, a screen in the funnel to prevent debris from entering the gauge are also provided.
