260-2501-A 8" Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge

from $66.00

Brand: NovaLynx

The 260-2501-A Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge is made for the National Weather Service to offer a dependable, cost-effective rain sensor. It includes an inner funnel to even out the rain flow for better accuracy at higher rainfall rates. Its simple design ensures trouble-free operation and precise rainfall measurements. The tipping bucket mechanism triggers a sealed reed switch for every 0.01" or 1 mm of rainfall (other calibrations available). The gauge has an 8" opening and is made of powder-coated and anodized aluminum. The funnel screen stops debris from entering the gauge. It comes with mounting legs and 25' of signal cable.

GL500-2-1 Data Logger In a Nema 4X Enclosure

GL500-2-1 Data Logger

The GL500-2-1 can monitor two 4-20 mA sensors and features a scalable digital input that accepts switch closure signals and pulses from various external devices. The logger provides switched power to the sensors based on the programmable sample interval and sensor warm up time settings. Two- and three-wire sensors can be quickly connected to the datalogger’s internal terminal strip and calibrated via the included Global Logger II software.

260-RGAI-70 Rain Gauge Analog Interface

260-RGAI-70 Rain Gauge Analog Interface

The 260-RGAI-70 Rain Gauge Interface converts the signal from a tipping bucket rain gauge into a 4-20 mA current loop signal, ideal for input to a PLC or SCADA system. Each tip of the rain gauge bucket causes the output signal to increase 1% of full scale. Full scale represents 100 tips of the bucket.
