DRAGINO Rain Gauge Sensor for Weather Monitoring
DRAGINO Rain Gauge Sensor for Weather Monitoring is a rainfall monitoring instrument designed for use with the Dragino weather station solution. It provides pulse output with each pulse representing 0.1 mm of rainfall, allowing rainfall data to be measured and recorded by a compatible monitoring system. With a 9-30 VDC power input and an operating temperature range of -40 to 60 °C, the WSS-08 is suited to weather monitoring installations where rainfall measurement is required.
The DRAGINO Rain Gauge Sensor for Weather Monitoring is designed to measure rainfall for weather monitoring applications. Dragino specifies the WSS-08 as an optical rain gauge for the WSC2-L weather station solution.
The sensor provides a pulse output where each pulse represents 0.1 mm of rainfall. This allows a compatible monitoring system to count the pulses and determine the accumulated rainfall measured by the gauge.
How it works
- The WSS-08 detects rainfall using its optical rain gauge arrangement.
- Rainfall is represented through pulse output, with each pulse corresponding to 0.1 mm.
- The connected weather monitoring system can count these pulses to record rainfall data.
- Dragino specifies the WSS-08 for use with the WSC2-L weather station solution.
Why choose the WSS-08
The WSS-08 provides a straightforward way to add rainfall measurement to a compatible Dragino weather monitoring setup. Its pulse-based output provides a defined rainfall increment, making it suitable where rainfall accumulation needs to be monitored by an external weather station or controller.
The manufacturer specifies a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 60 °C, allowing the sensor to be considered for outdoor weather monitoring environments across a broad range of conditions.
Benefits
- Provides dedicated rainfall monitoring for compatible Dragino weather station systems.
- 0.1 mm rainfall resolution per output pulse.
- Supports rainfall monitoring up to a specified maximum of 24 mm/min.
- Operates from a 9-30 VDC supply.
- Suitable for environments within the manufacturer's specified -40 to 60 °C operating temperature range.
