Technical Description

The RainVUE™10 funnels rainfall through a stainless-steel gauze filter that traps and removes debris. The rainfall flows through a nozzle into one of the two halves of the tipping bucket. The internal tipping bucket assembly rotates around precision rolling pivot bearings and tips when the first bucket fillsto a fixed calibrated level. Then the balance arm moves the second bucket undthee furnne l. A magnet attached to the balance arm actuates a reed switch as the bucket tips.

The aerodynamic design of the RainVUE™10 prevents wind from carrying the rainfall away from the collecting vessel. With traditional cylindrical rain gages, wind can reduce the rainfall catch by up to 20%. The deep funnel catch also minimizes splashing out and loss due to high winds and heavy rainfall. The RainVUE™10 also includes a microprocesstohrat corrects for rainfall intensity and outputs an SDI-12 signal.
