product description
Rain gauge with collector area 400 cm²
The rain gauge consists of a metal base on which a tipping bucket is set. The rain collector cone, fixed to the aluminium cylinder, channels the water inside the tipping bucket: once the predefined level is reached, the calibrated bucked rotates under the action of its own weight, discharging the water. During the rotation phase, the usually closed reed contact opens for a fraction of a second, sending an impulse to the counter.
The measured quantity of rainfall is based on the number of discharges of the bucket: the reed contacts, usually closed, open at the moment of the rotation between two sections. The number of impulses can be detected and recorded by a datalogger such as the DeltaOhm HD2013-DB or by a pulse counter.
A removable filter for periodic cleaning and maintenance is inserted into the water collector cone. It prevents the entry of leaves and other elements that may block the end of the hole. For better water flow, the collector cone is treated with a non-stick paint. The version with a heater HD 2013R operates using either 12 V DC or 24 V DC voltage (has to be specified in the order) and uses about 165 W. The heating is activated around +4°C.
General information:
HD 2013 is a reliable and robust bucket rain gauge, entirely made of corrosion resistant materials in order to guarantee its durability. To ensure accurate measurements even under cold climatic conditions or during and after snow fall, a version with a heater (HD 2013R) which is automatically activated around +4°C has been developed so that snow deposits and ice formations are prevented.The rain gauge consists of a metal base on which a tipping bucket is set.
