Precipitation sensor RainVue™ 20

The RainVue™20 is ideal for many hydrological or meteorological applications such as weather stations and flood warning systems. The RainVue 20 is an SDI-12 tipping bucket rain gage in the RainVue family of products. Advanced algorithms and digital processing within the sensor compensate for errors caused by high-intensity rain and provide accurate precipitation and intensity measurements. Constructed of an aerodynamic powder-coated aluminum funnel, the RainVue 20 is robust and minimizes the amount of liquid precipitation that is lost due to the effects of wind. This rain gage offers the user flexibility with the option to select from a series of set cable lengths or a user-defined cable length. Benefits and Features - Powder-coated aluminum bucket suitable for all environments - Extremely robust and versatile for applications where data precision and accuracy are critical - Unique aerodynamic shape to minimize wind effects and increase accuracy - Measures precipitation intensity up to 1500 mm/h (60 in./h) - Meets WMO recommendations for funnel area - Digital processing corrects for high-intensity precipitation errors up to 1500 mm/h (60 in./h) - Tilt measurement for remote diagnostics on the sensor - Internal temperature measurement - Easy leveling with external leveling bubble - Adjustable mounting feet to simplify leveling The RainVue 20 funnels rainfall through a stainless-steel gauze filter that traps and removes debris. The rainfall flows through a nozzle into one of the two halves of the tipping bucket. The internal tipping bucket assembly rotates around precision, rolling pivot bearings.
