Overview

Texas Electronics Rain Gage 0.254mm (0.01 Inch) Tip w/15cm (6 Inch) Orifice For Use w/MetSENS550 (0 to +50C)

The TE525METS, manufactured by Texas Electronics, has a 6 in. orifice and measures rainfall in 0.01 in. increments. It is compatible with all Campbell Scientific data loggers, and it is widely used in environmental monitoring applications. This rain gage has a special connector for attachment to the MetSENS550.

Technical Description

The TE525METS funnels precipitation into a bucket mechanism that tips when filled to its calibrated level. A magnet attached to the tipping mechanism actuates a switch as the bucket tips. The momentary switch closure is counted by the pulse-counting circuitry of our data loggers.

Benefits

  • Accuracy is ±1 percent at rates up to 1 in./hr
  • Compatible with most Campbell Scientific data loggers
  • High precision—tips at 0.01-in. increments
  • Compatible with the CWS900-series interfaces, allowing it to be used in a wireless sensor network
