Complete Precipitation Measurement System  – Overview

Each individual type of precipitation – rain, freezing rain, snow or hail – presents unique measurement challenges. The rain(e) complete real-time system facilitates measurement and data collection while ensuring the fastest possible response to flood events or road condition reports. The measuring of precipitation for water management and public safety is a complex, crucial task. The rain(e) series is a new type of low-maintenance, weighing precipitation sensor. It offers the highest resolution combined with a compact design. This continuously self-emptying collection system enables the measurement of each individual drop with a high resolution of 0.001 mm/m².  It is compatible with a wide range of data loggers and ideal for setting up measurement networks.  At 2.5kg, it is easy to lift, transport, install and maintain. The rain(e) is up to 50% cheaper than other weighing precipitation sensors and has the same or even better functionality. It is available with an efficient heating system which has minimal current consumption. It does not need antifreeze which makes it particularly environmentally friendly. The system also prevents the accumulation of water and insects and therefore incorrect measurements. Suitable for precipitation measurement networks, measuring networks in the water industry, weather services, early flood warning, traffic meteorology, wastewater treatment plants, general meteorology and hydrology.
