WORKING PROCESS

Rainfall is captured in the 200mm diameter collector funnel and is directed through a delivery pipe to fill a divided ABS injection molded tipping bucket device.The bucket is pivoted through its center and has a preset calibration to tip for 0.2 mm of rainfall. When the bucket is “full”, it pivots and empties - this action magnetically closes and opens a reed switch, sending a pulse signal to the data logger or electronic counter. Through this tipping “seesaw” action, the other side of the bucket is aligned to receive the flow from the delivery pipe. This recording and tipping cycle continues with rainfall.

DIMENSION & MOUNTING

Adjust the balance foot screws to ensure that it is in a horizontal position.Using three fastening screws to fix this three support legs at the platform to keep the entire apparatus at an optimum level , which ensure the accuracy of rainfall data.
