Overview

Texas Electronics Rain Gage 0.1mm (0.00394 Inch) Tip w/24.3cm (9.6 Inch) Orifice (0 to +50C)

The TE525MM, manufactured by Texas Electronics, is a tipping bucket rain gage that monitors rainfall in metric rather than US units. It measures in 0.1 mm increments and has a 24.5 cm funnel. This tipping bucket is compatible with all Campbell Scientific data loggers, and is widely used in environmental monitoring applications.

Technical Description

The TE525MM 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 0.1-mm increments
  • Compatible with the CWS900-series interfaces, allowing it to be used in a wireless sensor network
  • Includes a 24.5-cm funnel, which is the largest diameter funnel of the TE525-series raingages
