The tipping bucket stainless - steel rain gauge is a reliable and precise meteorological instrument designed for accurate rainfall measurement. Its stainless - steel construction ensures high durability, making it suitable for various weather conditions. The tipping - bucket mechanism is the core of its operation. Each time the bucket fills with a pre - set amount of rainwater, it tips, generating an electrical pulse. These pulses are then counted to calculate the rainfall amount. With its easy - to - use design and high - precision measurement, it is widely used in weather stations, agricultural monitoring, and environmental research, providing essential data for weather forecasting and water resource management.

ModBus-RTUA precision meteorological instrument designed for real-time rainfall measurement. Its stainless steel construction ensures corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments. The tipping bucket mechanism records precipitation via calibrated 0.2mm resolution per tip, covering 0-200mm/h intensity. Dual funnel design minimizes evaporation loss, while self-emptying buckets enable continuous monitoring. Integrated with digital data loggers or IoT systems via pulse output (reed switch). Ideal for agriculture, hydrology, and urban flood warning. Complies with WMO/ISO standards, featuring UV-resistant casing and anti-bird-perch design. Maintenance-free operation with ±2% accuracy across -20°C to 70°C.

Detailed Images
1. Small size, easy to install; high precision and good stability
2. Good linearity, long transmission distance and strong anti-interference ability
3. Design the mesh at the funnel to prevent debris and other debris from blocking the downstream flow.
4.The tipping part support system is well-made and the friction torque is small, so the tipping part is turned over sensitively, the performance is stable, and the work is reliable.
5. The instrument casing is made of ABS engineering plastic, which can not be rusted and has good appearance quality.
6. The rain inlet is made of ABS engineering plastic, which has high finish and small error caused by water retention.
7. There is a horizontal adjustment bubble inside the chassis, which can help the bottom angle to adjust the equipment to the best level.
Fixed by screws, there are three supporting feet on the lower part of the base. Use bolts to observe the position of the horizontal bubble, and fix the base tightly on the pre-built platform to keep the whole instrument at the best level and ensure the rainfall data. The accuracy. The three legs are fixedly mounted on the plane, and each of the three corners has a top wire, which can be balanced by the top wire. When installing on the ground, it should be installed on a higher terrain and should not be immersed in water due to rain. It can also be used for bracket mounting.
