    Track and Measure Rainfall Accurately With Our Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge

    A battery-powered rainfall data collection and recording system that includes a  HOBO Pendant Event data logger integrated into a tipping-bucket rain gauge. This model automatically records up to 3200 mm of rainfall data, which can be used to determine rainfall rates, times, and duration. Also records temperature when used with an optional solar radiation shield (RS1 Solar Radiation Shield or M-RSA). A base station or shuttle is required.



    Features

    • A high quality tipping-bucket rain gauge includes a HOBO Pendant Event data logger; base station or shuttle is required
    • Time and date stamp is stored for each tip - provides detail needed to determine rainfall rates and duration
    • Reliable, field-proven rain gauge
    • Compatible with HOBOware and HOBOware Pro software for logger setup, graphing, and analysis
    • Also records temperature when used with an optional solar radiation shield.


    Important Information
