Description

The JXBS-3001-YL-RS-JC rain sensor employs a precision-engineered tipping bucket mechanism to measure liquid precipitation. Each tip corresponds to a calibrated volume of rainfall, providing a direct digital count for accurate data logging. The sensor’s robust stainless steel construction ensures reliable operation in harsh environmental conditions, resisting corrosion from rain, humidity, and temperature extremes.

Its integrated RS485 interface supports Modbus RTU protocol, enabling seamless connection to data loggers, PLCs, and IoT gateways for remote monitoring networks. The sensor’s low operating current and stable signal conditioning make it ideal for continuous, unattended operation in agricultural irrigation control, hydrological research, flood warning systems, and smart city infrastructure.

Key Features

Durable All-Weather Housing: Constructed from 304-grade stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.
Digital RS485 Modbus Output: Provides noise-immune, long-range communication compatible with industrial control systems.
High-Value Build: Optimized performance-to-cost ratio with a maintenance-free tipping bucket design.
Wide Voltage Input: Compatible with 12V DC or 24V DC power supplies for flexible system integration.
Fast-Response Sensing: Delivers real-time rainfall data with a response time of less than 2 seconds per tip.
Low Power Operation: Consumes under 20mA, making it suitable for battery or solar-powered remote stations.
Easy Mounting & Installation: Features a standard form factor with pre-drilled holes for straightforward field deployment.

Applications

Agricultural irrigation scheduling and smart farm water management systems.
Hydrological monitoring stations for river basin and watershed analysis.
Urban flood early warning and stormwater drainage network monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the JXBS-3001 rain sensor?

The sensor is designed to operate on a nominal 12V DC or 24V DC power supply. Ensure your power source is stable and within this specified range for correct operation and to protect the internal electronics.

How do I communicate with this sensor and what protocol does it use?

The sensor communicates via an RS485 interface, typically using the Modbus RTU protocol. You will need an RS485 to USB or RS485 to TTL converter to connect it to a computer or microcontroller. Consult the sensor's datasheet for the specific Modbus register map for reading rainfall data.

Is this sensor suitable for permanent outdoor installation?

Yes, its housing is constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, making it durable for long-term, all-weather outdoor deployment. For optimal performance, mount it in an open area away from obstructions like trees or buildings that could affect rainfall collection.

What does the 'tipping bucket' mechanism mean and how is rainfall measured?

A tipping bucket is a mechanical assembly with two small buckets on a pivot. Rainwater fills one bucket, causing it to tip and empty, while the other bucket moves into place. Each tip represents a specific, calibrated volume of rainfall (e.g., 0.2mm), which is counted electronically to calculate total precipitation.
