Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge

Tipping bucket rain gauges are sensors for rainfall and rainfall intensity and events.
They are based on a principle of a pivoted tipping bucket balance with reed relay contacts being activated every time a tip is detected. These tips are usually connected to counters or logging/data collection devices or weather stations. Two sizes of bucket are available, 400cm2 and 200cm2 aperture. Three sizes of resolution are available, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5mm.
