Automatic Rain Gauge Data Logger

An automatic digital rain gauge is a weather sensor that continuously measures and records precipitation (rainfall) using a tipping‑bucket mechanism. Rainwater is collected through a funnel and directed into a small bucket that tips when it fills up. Each tip generates a pulse, which is electronically counted to determine rainfall volume and intensity. The device can output data in real time for monitoring or logging by a data logger, weather station, or telemetry system.

Key Features

·         High-resolution precipitation captures via tipping‑bucket design.

·         Pulse or digital output, compatible with data loggers, telemetry, or weather station systems.

·         Wide input voltage: often supports 5 V to 24 V DC for flexible powering.

·         Stainless-steel or ABS housing for durability in outdoor exposure.

·         Debris protection: Insect screen or mesh on the funnel to prevent clogging.

·         Low-maintenance mechanics and reliability for long-term, unattended deployment.

·         Optional heating for cold climates (to prevent freezing or ice buildup).

·         Compact and mountable design, typically mounted on a pole or weather station structure.
