DRAGINO Rainfall Sensor for Weather Stations
DRAGINO Rainfall Sensor for Weather Stations is a rainfall measurement sensor for compatible Dragino weather station systems. It has a 200 mm rain-bearing diameter, 0.1 mm resolution and a pulse output for transmitting rainfall measurements to the connected weather station controller. The sensor supports a default measurement range of 0 to 100 mm/day and rainfall intensity from 0.01 to 4 mm/min.
Compatible Transmitters:
The DRAGINO Rainfall Sensor for Weather Stations provides rainfall measurement as part of a modular weather monitoring system. It is listed by Dragino as a compatible sensor for the WSC2-Compact Lorawan / WSC2-Compact NB-IoT weather station systems.
The sensor is designed to provide rainfall data to the weather station transmitter through its pulse output. This allows rainfall measurements to be incorporated into a wider weather monitoring installation alongside other sensors such as temperature, humidity, air pressure and illumination sensors.
How it works
- The rain gauge collects precipitation through its 200 mm rain-bearing diameter.
- Rainfall is converted into a pulse signal for the connected weather station controller.
- The published resolution is 0.1 mm.
- The specified default rainfall measurement range is 0 to 100 mm/day.
- Rainfall intensity is specified from 0.01 to 4 mm/min.
- Connection is provided through a 2 metre, 2-wire cable carrying the pulse signal.
Why choose this product
- Designed for Dragino weather stations - DRAGINO Rainfall Sensor for Weather Stations is specifically listed as a supported rain gauge for compatible WSC series weather stations.
- Simple pulse output - The pulse signal provides a straightforward method of transferring rainfall measurements to the weather station controller.
- Suitable for modular monitoring - It can be used alongside other compatible sensors to build a broader weather monitoring system.
- Defined rainfall resolution - The 0.1 mm resolution provides a clearly specified measurement increment.
Benefits
The DRAGINO Rainfall Sensor for Weather Stations allows rainfall to be monitored as part of a connected weather station rather than requiring a separate standalone rainfall monitoring system. Its pulse output and specified cable arrangement make it suitable for integration with the compatible Dragino weather station controllers.
