Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge – Pulse Output Meteorological Rain Sensor (ABS)
A cost-effective tipping bucket rain gauge with pulse output, designed for accurate rainfall measurement in weather monitoring, agriculture, and environmental applications.
This tipping bucket rain gauge is designed to measure rainfall using a proven mechanical tipping mechanism that converts precipitation into electrical pulse signals. Each tip of the bucket represents a fixed rainfall amount, allowing precise accumulation and intensity calculations when connected to data loggers, PLCs, weather stations, or monitoring systems.
Manufactured with a lightweight ABS enclosure, the sensor is suitable for outdoor meteorological and environmental monitoring. Its simple pulse output makes it highly compatible with a wide range of controllers, counters, and IoT gateways. With no onboard power requirement, the rain gauge operates reliably in remote and low-power installations.
This sensor is widely used in weather stations, agriculture, hydrology, irrigation control, smart cities, and environmental research projects.
