Not specified tipping bucket 3S-RG-PLS

Product overview
SEVEN 3S-RG-PLS is a tipping-bucket rain gauge engineered for precise rainfall measurement. It features a 200 cm² collection area, reed-relay pulse output and a seawater-resistant anodized aluminium housing. The sensor is IP65-rated and compatible with SEVEN Compact Weather Station and SEVEN Sensor Box units.

Principle of operation
The tipping-bucket mechanism collects precipitation; each tip closes a reed relay and generates a pulse. Pulse frequency and count correspond to rainfall volume and intensity, enabling straightforward integration with data loggers and telemetry systems.
