General Description

Precipitation can be reported at real-time intensity to any interval required. The precipitation gauge is simple to configure for use with automatic data acquisition units. The standard T-200B has a 600 mm capacity and one vibrating wire sensor. 1000 mm capacity and three sensors are options.

The gauge has a protective housing with a WMO standard 200 cm² inlet. Inside there is a container for collecting the precipitation. The amount of precipitation is measured by using vibrating wire load sensors. The instrument as well as a wind shield is mounted to the pedestal.

With the use of antifreeze, any solid precipitation is melted in the container. Therefore, no electrical heating is required, thus eliminating a common source of error. A thin layer of oil is added to impede any evaporation.

3 Sensor System - Using a 3 sensor system ensures the continuation of data recording if one of the sensors should fail. This is made possible with a retaining device. It also ensures that the total amount of the precipitation will be measured even if there is a slight deviation from the horizontal plane.
