SAE-WS-300-A1

Tipping Bucket Rainfall Sensor

The SAE-WS-300-A1 Tipping Bucket Rainfall Sensor is an instrument for testing rainfall in the nature. In order to meet the requirement of information transmission, processing, recording and display, the amount of rainfall is converted to pulse output. It can be widely used in weather stations, hydrometric stations, agriculture & forestry, defense & field monitoring stations. It can provide the original data for flood-prevention, water-supply system, and reservoir water management in plant.
