Description

The Renke RS-YL-PL-2-02-EX tipping bucket rain gauge operates on the established mechanical principle where collected rainwater fills a small bucket, causing it to tip and generate an electrical pulse. Each tip corresponds to a precise volume of rainfall, specifically 0.2mm of precipitation, enabling high-resolution data collection for meteorological analysis.

Engineered for continuous outdoor deployment, the sensor features a robust integrated shell capable of withstanding storage temperatures from -40°C to 125°C and operational temperatures from 0°C to 50°C. Its pulse output provides a simple, digital interface compatible with a wide range of data loggers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and microcontroller-based systems like Arduino and Raspberry Pi for automated weather station integration.

Key Features

  • High-precision 0.2mm per tip measurement resolution for detailed rainfall analysis.
  • Robust integrated shell construction ensures long-term durability in varied weather conditions.
  • Simple pulse signal output facilitates easy integration with digital monitoring and control systems.
  • Wide operational temperature range (0 to 50°C) suitable for most climatic environments.
  • Optimized 200mm diameter collection area balances accuracy with a compact form factor.
  • Designed for permanent mounting in professional, educational, and hobbyist weather stations.

Applications

  • Precipitation monitoring for professional and amateur weather station networks.
  • Agricultural irrigation scheduling and water resource management systems.
  • Hydrological studies and flood warning system data collection points.
  • Integration into school and university environmental science education kits.
  • Site-specific rainfall logging for construction, landscaping, and civil engineering projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of the RS-YL-PL-2-02-EX rain gauge and how do I connect it?

The sensor provides a simple pulse output. Each pulse corresponds to 0.2mm of rainfall. You connect the output wires to a digital input pin on a microcontroller (like Arduino), a data logger, or a PLC counter input. The pulse is typically a dry contact closure or a voltage pulse, requiring a pull-up resistor for reliable reading by digital systems.

What is the accuracy and measurement range of this tipping bucket rain gauge?

The gauge offers an accuracy of ≤±5% under standard conditions. Its measurement capability is defined by its resolution (0.2mm per tip) rather than a fixed range; it can accumulate rainfall continuously. The mechanical tipping mechanism and 200mm funnel diameter ensure consistent measurement across various rainfall intensities.

Is this sensor suitable for permanent outdoor installation?

Yes, it is designed for permanent outdoor use. With an operating temperature range of 0 to 50°C and a storage range of -40 to 125°C, its stainless steel and integrated shell construction provides durability against environmental elements. Ensure it is mounted on a stable, level surface with clear exposure to the sky for accurate collection.
