SiphonTipping Bucket Rain Gauge
Model: OTBRG-Siphon
Siphon Tipping Bucket Rainfall Sensor is an instrument for measuring rainfall in the nature. In order to meet the requirement of information transmission, processing, recording and display, the amount of rainfall is converted to pulse output. It can be widely used in Meteorological and Hydrological stations, agriculture & forestry, field monitoring stations.

Standard Precision Instrument for the Measurement of Rainfall Accumulation and/orRate
- Rain enters gauge through an eight-inch orifice, protected by distortion preventing aluminumring
- Collected water passes through debris-filtering screen and is funneled into oneoftwotippingbucketsinsidethegauge.
- When a given amount of water collects, bucket tips (amount determined by calibration).
- Tipping causes magnet to pass over proximity switch, closing it momentarily.

- After rain is measured, it exits through drain tubes with screen covered holesinthebaseofthegauge.
