Texas Electronics - Model TR-525M -9.66 Inch Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge
The Texas Electronics, Inc. TR-525M 9.66" Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge has a 9.66" Collector is a remote tipping bucket style rain gauge that measures liquid precipitation. The Rain Gauge is a freestanding receptacle for measuring precipitation. Through an opening at the top of the device, rain is collected and then funneled to a mechanical device, called a tipping bucket. As water is collected, the tipping bucket fills to the point that it tips over, causing a momentary closure of a switch to incrementally measure rainfall accumulation. This action empties the bucket in preparation for additional measurement. Water discharged by the tipping bucket passes out of the rain gauge with no need for emptying. The TR-525M is a rugged and reliable metric rain gauge that delivers high accuracy at a low cost.

Switch Option
Stock is single reed switch but if you like we will install a dual reed switch.
Heater Option
Should be used where snow or freezing weather may occur. It consists of two low-power heating elements that prevent disruption in readings during freezing times. The heaters are thermostatically controlled with an additional thermal overload. More information available under downloads tab.
Siphon Option
This allows an extended range of accuracy. This system allows control of the "flow rate" of accumulated precipitation. This metering geometry assures higher levels in both accuracy and repeatability during periods of extremely heavy rainfall. More information available under downloads tab.
