Tipping-bucket rain gauge with a 200 mm collector, pulse or RS485 output variants and a removable debris filter for weather, hydrology and irrigation monitoring.
Appearance, connectors and included accessories follow the configuration confirmed in your quotation.
Ask for a sample or a small pilot. Availability, minimum quantity and sample charges depend on the selected model.
Price & delivery
Range, interface, accessories, quantity and destination affect the quote. Stock, lead time, freight, taxes and delivery terms need confirmation.
Warranty & support
Coverage, duration, exclusions and the fault-assessment process are confirmed for the quoted model before order.
Certificates & documents
Tell us the destination and required standard. We check the exact model, document revision and available evidence; a family listing is not certification.
Public documents describe this product family and selection options. Wiring, register maps and compliance documents must match the model and version selected for your order.

Confirm resolution, output and cold-weather scope before ordering
The reviewed product record supports a specific collector, rainfall-intensity range and output family. Several order-dependent details must still be written into the quotation.
The collector is 200 mm in diameter. The reviewed measured rainfall intensity is up to 4 mm/min, with an allowable intensity up to 10 mm/min.
The reviewed accuracy is ±4% in an indoor static test at 2 mm/min. Field results also depend on levelling, siting, wind exposure, splash, blockage and maintenance.
Order either the reed-switch pulse variant or the RS485 variant. Pulse contact limits are 30 VDC and 20 mA; the reviewed RS485 configuration uses 12-24 VDC.

The source set contains inconsistent resolution statements, so this page does not publish a fixed resolution. The ordered resolution must be reconfirmed in the quotation and acceptance record.
The reviewed operating range is 0 to 70 °C under no-freeze conditions. A 220 V, 200 W heater is an optional configuration, not a standard feature.
Bird spikes, cable length and mounting details are order-dependent. The removable filter and collector need regular inspection and cleaning.

Confirm the required resolution in the quotation and acceptance record. The reviewed source set is inconsistent, so this page does not publish a fixed value.
Check that the site rainfall profile fits the reviewed 4 mm/min measured-intensity and 10 mm/min allowable-intensity limits.
Choose either reed-switch pulse or RS485 Modbus RTU. Match the pulse contact limits or the 12-24 VDC RS485 supply to the logger / RTU.
Install the gauge level in an open area, clear of splash, trees, walls and structures, with safe access for inspection and cleaning.

Use the standard configuration only in no-freeze conditions from 0 to 70 °C. Select and power the optional heater only after a cold-weather review.
Define the logger accumulation, reset, timestamp and missing-data behavior before commissioning.
Set a maintenance interval for the collector entrance, removable filter, tipping mechanism and site levelling.
Compatible with
Dry-contact pulse counters and data loggers within the 30 VDC / 20 mA contact limits
RS485 Modbus RTU masters on the selected 12-24 VDC configuration
Weather-station, hydrology and irrigation RTUs with rainfall accumulation and reset logic
Field power, surge protection and enclosure hardware selected for the output and site
Typical package
Rain gauge with a 200 mm collector, single ABS tipping bucket and removable debris filter
Selected reed-switch pulse or RS485 output configuration
Cable length, mounting and levelling hardware confirmed for the station layout
Data logger, RTU or weather-station controller with the required field power and protection
Optional bird spikes or 220 V heater only when written into the quotation
Commissioning check and a cleaning / inspection schedule for the collector and filter
Applications
Sensor set, mast, solar supply, enclosure and probe placement are selected for the crop and site.
Use this tipping-bucket rain gauge to collect rainfall totals at unattended weather, hydrology and irrigation sites. A 200 mm collector directs water to a single tipping bucket, while the selected pulse or RS485 interface connects the gauge to the site logger or RTU. Resolution, cable length, cold-weather provisions and optional accessories are fixed in the quotation instead of being assumed from the product family.
Rainfall accumulation at automatic weather and agro-meteorological stations
Hydrology, reservoir and water-supply monitoring sites
Irrigation scheduling and farm rainfall records
Flood-awareness and natural-hazard monitoring networks
Remote rainfall logging through an RTU, data logger or weather-station controller
Choose the interface used by the site logger or RTU. The reed-switch pulse variant is read by a compatible counter input within the 30 VDC / 20 mA contact limits. The reviewed RS485 variant uses 12-24 VDC and communicates through Modbus RTU.
What rainfall intensity can the gauge handle?
The reviewed product record lists measured rainfall intensity up to 4 mm/min and allowable rainfall intensity up to 10 mm/min. Accuracy is listed as ±4% for an indoor static test at 2 mm/min.
What resolution does the rain gauge provide?
The final resolution is confirmed in the quotation and acceptance record. The reviewed source set contains inconsistent resolution statements, so this page intentionally does not publish one fixed value.
Can it operate in freezing weather?
The reviewed standard operating range is 0 to 70 °C under no-freeze conditions. A 220 V, 200 W heater is optional and must be selected with the site power, enclosure and installation plan.
What maintenance does a tipping-bucket rain gauge need?
Install it level in an open area away from trees, walls and splash. Inspect and clean the collector entrance and removable filter regularly so leaves, insects and debris do not alter the rainfall path.
What should I provide when requesting a quote for the Tipping-Bucket Rain Gauge?
Monitoring purpose, expected rainfall profile and any authority or reporting requirement; Required resolution and the proposed acceptance / comparison method; Pulse or RS485 interface, connected logger / RTU and required register mapping; Site layout, mounting height, levelling method, wind and nearby obstructions
Where can I compare available model options?
Open the Agriculture & Weather Hardware Catalog linked on this page. Use it to compare equipment options before requesting a configuration.
Will it work with my existing system?
Compatibility is reviewed against your field signals, protocols and upstream platform. Typical pairings include Dry-contact pulse counters and data loggers within the 30 VDC / 20 mA contact limits, RS485 Modbus RTU masters on the selected 12-24 VDC configuration, Weather-station, hydrology and irrigation RTUs with rainfall accumulation and reset logic.
Product-family reference. Final ordered model and specifications are confirmed in the written quotation.
