Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge – High-Precision Rainfall Sensor (RS485 / Pulse Output

This Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge is designed for reliable and accurate rainfall measurement in outdoor and environmental monitoring applications.

Using a mechanical tipping bucket mechanism, rainfall is measured in discrete increments, ensuring consistent resolution and repeatable results. The sensor features a large 200 mm collection diameter and optimised funnel angle to improve capture efficiency and measurement accuracy across a wide range of rainfall intensities.

The unit is available with either pulse output or RS485 digital output, allowing direct integration with meteorological stations, data loggers, SCADA systems, agricultural controllers, and environmental monitoring platforms. Its rugged construction enables stable operation in harsh outdoor conditions, including high humidity environments.

This rain gauge is well suited for long-term deployment in weather stations, farms, irrigation systems, research sites, and hydrological monitoring installations.
