Part # Rain-01, Rain-01-Heater

The Rain Collector is designed to meet the guidelines of the World Meteorological Organization. Rain enters the collector cone, passes through a debris-filtering screen, and collects in one chamber of the tipping bucket. The bucket tips when it has collected an amount of water equal to the increment in which the collector measures (0.01”). As the bucket tips, it causes a switch closure and brings the second tipping bucket chamber into position. The rain water drains out through the screened drains in the base of the collector.

Rain collectors come with mounting holes pre-drilled in the base and a built-in leveling trough to aid you in installing the rain collector. If mounted according to instructions, the Rain Collector is wind tunnel tested to be stable in winds up to 140MPH (224 Km/Hr).

The Rain Collector Heater is available for use with the Rain Collector units. This heater allows the Rain Collector to measure the moisture content of snowfall and protects the internal components from freezing rain.
