Precipitation Sensor “rain[e]”

Latest weighing technology combined with a self-emptying precision tipping bucket allows the rain[e] a high resolution and high precision at a very small construction volume.  The rain[e] is ideal to setup new measurement network as well as addition to an existing rainfall measurement network.

• Amazing resolution and accuracy

• Compact and robust construction with a very low weight

• All-metal housing, weatherproof and durable

Description

  • Weighing precipitation sensor
  • Accuracy ±0.1mm
