Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge | Pulse Output Rainfall Sensor
A precise tipping bucket rain gauge with pulse output for accurate rainfall measurement in weather stations, hydrology, and IoT projects. Designed for outdoor use with simple integration into data loggers, PLCs, and Arduino-based systems.
This tipping bucket precipitation sensor converts rainfall into digital pulse signals for reliable measurement, recording, and transmission. The core tipping mechanism features a streamlined, three-dimensional bucket design that improves water flow, enhances repeatability, and simplifies cleaning.
Factory-calibrated for optimal tipping angle, the sensor is quick to install and delivers consistent results across a wide range of rainfall intensities. It is suitable for continuous outdoor monitoring and supports multiple resolution options to match application requirements.
Widely used in meteorological stations, hydrological monitoring, smart agriculture, flood warning systems, and DIY/IoT weather projects, this rain gauge provides dependable performance when paired with routine maintenance (periodic cleaning of the bucket and funnel).
