Tipping Bucket Product Description
Global Water's RG600 Tipping Bucket is a durable weather
instrument for monitoring rain rate and total rainfall.
With minimal care, the tipping bucket will provide many
years of services. All Global Water tipping buckets
were designed by the National Weather Service to provide
a low-investment, reliable, industrial, tipping bucket
rain gauge. Its simple design assures trouble-free
operation, yet provides accurate rainfall measurements.
The tipping bucket has an 8"; orifice and is shipped
complete with mounting brackets and 60' of two-conductor
cable. The tipping bucket sensor mechanism activates a
sealed reed switch that produces a contact closure for
each 0.01" or 0.2 mm of rainfall. The tipping bucket
rain gauge can be pole mounted or bolted to a level
plate.
Global Water's GL500 Tipping Bucket Data Logger adds
recording capabilities to the RG600 Tipping Bucket. The
datalogger connects to the tipping bucket's pulse output
to record data. In addition, Global Water offers the
RG700 4-20mA Output Tipping Bucket Converter Module to
convert the tipping bucket's pulse output to a current
output for use with recording systems that receive
4-20mA signals.
NOTE: If your application does not require
such an industrial-strength tipping bucket, please see
