500 cm² rain gauge t043 TP500

1000 cm²SDI-12with RS-485 interface

TP rain gauges are high-precision sensors designed to measure cumulative precipitation and precipitation intensity. The measurement principle is based on a tipping bucket mechanism designed to minimize friction generated by the oscillating action. This system has made it possible to achieve high standards of accuracy across the entire measurement range. The sensor is available in both a contact/pulse output version (TP500-N and TP1000-N) and a version with correction electronics (TP500-E and TP1000-E) to compensate for the mechanical error intrinsically caused by the tipping bucket operation, ensuring high accuracy even at high precipitation intensities. In particular, through numerous laboratory tests, an algorithm has been developed that allows the measured cumulative precipitation value to be modified, aligning it with the theoretical value according to the intensity of the rain. The sensor body is made of aluminum alloy and finally heat-coated with a special anti-UV paint that guarantees high durability and resistance to atmospheric agents. All available models are supplied with a power and signal cable (12 m).
