Heated rain gauge T027 TP200

tipping bucket200 cm²SDI-12

The TP200 is a rain gauge with a collection area of 200 cm2 and a tilting pan. It is extremely accurate and also suitable for latitudes where high intensity rainfall is the norm (monsoons or tropical rains). The sensor consists of an oscillating tipping bucket whose fulcrum, shaped like a knife blade, rests on a V-shaped seat in order to minimize friction, thus facilitating the tipping of the bucket and ensuring high accuracy even at high precipitation intensities. The sensor body is made of aluminum alloy and is hot-coated with a special UV-resistant paint that guarantees high durability and resistance to atmospheric agents. The TP200 is available in two versions: the TP200-N with pulse output without any type of signal conditioning, and the TP200-E equipped with signal conditioning electronics that reduce measurement uncertainties at high precipitation intensities, both for intensity and cumulative values. The TP200-E version provides contact output (cumulative precipitation), current output (cumulative precipitation), or Modbus and SDI-12 serial output (both intensity and cumulative) on a single connector. The sensor in the TP200-N version only is also available with the option of a heater powered by 24 V DC or AC, and is supplied complete with power and signal cable (12 m).
