Overview
The TE525WS, manufactured by Texas Electronics, is a tipping bucket rain gage that conforms to the National Weather Service recommendation for an 8 in. funnel orifice. It measures rainfall in 0.01 in. increments. This tipping bucket is compatible with all Campbell Scientific data loggers, and it is widely used in environmental monitoring applications.
Key Advantages
Technical Description
The TE525WS 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
- Compatible with most Campbell Scientific data loggers
- Accuracy is ±1 percent at rates up to 1 in./hr
- High precision—tips at 0.01-in. increments
- Directly compatible with the CS705 Snowfall Adapter allowing the TE525WS to measure the measure the water content of snow
- Conforms to the National Weather Service recommendation for an 8-inch funnel orifice
- Compatible with the CWS900-series interfaces, allowing it to be used in a wireless sensor network
