RG600M (Rain Gauge)
The Global Water 8” Rain Gauge is a rugged weather instrument for monitoring rain rate and total rainfall. With minimal care it will provide many years of services. The rain gauge was designed by the National Weather Service to provide a low-cost, reliable, industrial, tipping bucket rain gauge. Its simple design assures trouble-free operation, yet provides accurate rainfall measurements. The rainfall gauge has an 8″ orifice and is shipped complete with mounting brackets and 25 ft of twoconductor cable. The tipping bucket sensor mechanism activates a sealed reed switch that produces a contact closure for each 0.01″, 0.2 mm or 1 mm of rainfall. The rain gauge sensor can be pole mounted or bolted to a level plate.
