Description

The Unidata 6506C tipping bucket rain gauge is sturdily constructed with stainless steel jacket, copper collector and painted anodised aluminium base. The integrated syphon mechanism delivers high levels of accuracy across a broad range of rainfall intensities. Each unit consists of a collector funnel with stainless steel leaf sieve, an integrated syphon control mechanism, an outer enclosure with quick release fasteners, and base which houses the tipping bucket mechanism. This ensures reliable rainfall recording in even the highest rainfall intensities. The unit includes dual output reed switches with varistor protection as well as dual rainfall discharge outlets for water collection and/or analysis. The bucket tips when precipitation of 0.01 inch, 0.2mm, 0.5mm or 1.0mm has been collected. Each tip is marked by a reed switch closure and transmitted to a Data Logger and/or used by a Telemetry System. Gauze filters in the receiver and both outlets prevent debris (e.g. leaves, dirt, and insects) from entering the working parts of the instrument.

This product is compatible with Neon and Datastream.
