Global Water’s RG600 Tipping Bucket is a durable weather instrument for monitoring rain rate and total rainfall. Â With minimal care, the tipping bucket will provide many years of services. All Global Water tipping buckets were designed by the National Weather Service to provide a low-investment, reliable, industrial, tipping bucket rain gauge. Â Its simple design assures trouble-free operation, yet provides accurate rainfall measurements. The tipping bucket has an 8 inch (20.3 cm); orifice and is shipped complete with mounting brackets and 25 ft (7.6 m) of two-conductor cable. Â The tipping bucket sensor mechanism activates a sealed reed switch that produces a contact closure for each 0.01″ or 0.2 mm of rainfall. The tipping bucket rain gauge can be pole mounted or bolted to a level plate.
Global Water’s GL500 Tipping Bucket Data Logger adds recording capabilities to the RG600 Tipping Bucket. Â The datalogger connects to the tipping bucket’s pulse output to record data. In addition, Global Water offers the RG700 4-20mA Output Tipping Bucket Converter Module to convert the tipping bucket’s pulse output to a current output for use with recording systems that receive 4-20mA signals.
