The HD2015 is a reliable and sturdy bucket rain gauge, entirely constructed of corrosion resistant materials in order to guarantee its durability.
To ensure accurate measurements even with low temperature climatic conditions or during and after precipitations of snow, a version with heating system (HD2015R), automatically activated around +4 °C, has been developed to prevent snow deposits and ice formations.
The quantity of rainfall measured is based on the count of the number of times the bucket is emptied: the reed contacts, normally closed, open at the moment of the rotation between one bucket’s section and the other. The number of impulses can be detected and recorded by a data logger such as the HD2013-DB or by a pulse counter. But it is also possible to communicate directly the results through one of our dataloggers of the HD33 series. The built-in 4G/3G/GPRS modem makes it easy to upload the data directly to one of our cloud applications or to your own secured server.
When ordering, the rain gauge is completely setup to be used. Easy to install, adjustable feet and leveling device integrated. Bird spikes and accesories for raised mounting available.
A removable filter for periodic cleaning and maintenance is inserted in the water collector cone so as to prevent leaves or other elements blocking the end of the hole.
