Precipitation sensor "rain[e]"
Rain[e] is a compact weighing precipitation sensor made by the Lambrecht Meteo company.
The first of a new kind.
Latest weighing technology combined with a self-emptying precision tipping bucket allows the rain[e] a high resolution and high precision at a very small construction volume. Already the first drop will be measured! The rain[e] is ideal to setup new measurement networks as well as addition to an existing rainfall measurement network.
• amazing resolution and accuracy
• checking of sensors with tipping
bucket and other weighing systems
• compact and robust construction
with a very low weight
• all-metal housing, weatherproof and
durable
• best connectivity by several interfaces
• installation
