Model E525WS, TE525, TE525MM - Tipping Bucket Rain Gages Brochure

The TE525-series tipping bucket rain gages are manufactured by Texas Electronics. Both the TE525WS and TE525 measure in 0.01 inch increments; the TE525MM measures in 0.1 mm increments. These gages funnel precipitation into a bucket mechanism that tips when filled to a calibrated level. A magnet attached to the tipping mechanism actuates a switch as the bucket tips. The momentary switch closure is counted by the pulse-counting circuitry of Campbell Scientific dataloggers.
