Rika Sensor is a weather sensor manufacturer and environmental monitoring solution provider with 10+ years of industry experience.
Rika rain gauge measures solution provider for measuring rainfall amount
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The RK400-01 Tipping Bucket Rainfall Sensor is an instrument for testing rainfall in the nature. In order to meet the requirement of information transmission, processing, recording and display, the amount of rainfall is converted to pulse output. It can be widely used in weather stations, hydrometric stations, agriculture & forestry, defense & field monitoring stations. It can provide the original data for flood-prevention, water-supply system, and reservoir water management in plant.

WORKING PROCESS & DIMENSION
Rainfall is captured in the 200mm diametercollector funnel and is directed through adelivery pipe to fill a divided ABS injectionmolded tipping bucket device.The bucketis pivoted through its center and has apreset calibration to tip for 0.2 mm ofrainfall.When the bucket is “full”,it pivotsand empties -this action magneticallycloses and opens a reed switch,sending apulse signal to the data logger or electroniccounter.Through this tipping“seesaw”action,the other side of the bucket isaligned to receive the flow from the deliverypipe.This recording and tipping cyclecontinues with rainfall.
