Tipping bucket rain gauge 3S-RG-PLS

200 cm²with pulse output

Product Overview
SEVEN Rain Gauge 3S-RG-PLS accurately measures rainfall using a 200 cm² collection area and a tipping-bucket mechanism with a reed-relay pulse output. The sensor housing is seawater-resistant anodized aluminum for long-term field exposure. Compatible with SEVEN Compact Weather Station and Sensor Box models.

How it works
The tipping-bucket collects precipitation; each tip closes a reed relay and generates a pulse. Pulse frequency and count correspond to rainfall volume and intensity, allowing easy integration with data loggers and telemetry systems.

Applications

• Meteorological monitoring
• Hydrology and runoff studies
• Agricultural irrigation management
• Photovoltaic (PV) site monitoring
• Industrial precipitation monitoring
