Geonor - Model T-200B - Automatic and Proprietary Precipitation Meter - Manual

The T-200B Series Precipitation Gauges are weighing bucket precipitation gauges. They are available in 600-mm, 1000-mm and 1500-mm capacity versions. It uses a precision vibrating wire (VW) transducer to weight and determine the precipitation collected. The collection container in the T-200B Series gauge is suspended from three points, each supporting 1/3 of the weight. With this type of set-up there are options available to measure precipitation with up to triple redundancy. With equal load distribution, 1, 2 or 3 VW transducers, form now on referred to as sensors, can be used to measure total precipitation and rate of precipitation. The use of extra sensors provides backup and redundancy in case one transducer stops recording. As long as 1 of the sensors is recording the precipitation rate and total will be recorded. With proper care sensors have been shown to record for more than 27 years without failing.
