370-380 Series Precipitation Gauges

370-380 Series all-metal precipitation gauges measure rain and/or snow in all environments using a tipping bucket mechanism. The economical tipping bucket design allows accurate, repeatable measurements, requiring no regular maintenance. Each model in the 370-380 Series is optimized to meet particular site and sampling requirements and exceeds EPA specifications.

Features:

• Self-emptying, dual chambered tipping bucket
• Jeweled bearings reduce wear and friction
• Funnel screen system prevents debris from clogging gauge
• Stainless steel, Teflon coated bucket
• Corrosion resistant materials throughout
• Bubble level & adjustable feet assure proper mounting
• Optional heating elements for frozen conditions

Operation
When a precise amount of precipitation is collected in one side of the bucket, gravity tips the assembly and activates a reed switch. A momentary electrical contact closure is provided for each increment of rainfall. The sample is discharged through the base of the gauge.
