| The R1-5 sensor is tipping bucket-type device
designed for use in remote monitoring. A
lead switch or mercury lead switch detects
each tip of the collection bucket, which
pours out a specified amount of rain that
has entered through the 200 mm diameter inlet,
and a connection pulse signal is output.
The sensor is connected to an electrical
contact or magnetic counter using a 2-pole
cable. Options available with the R1-5 sensor
include a heated version for use in cold
locations (RJ1-5), and a sensor with two
contact outputs (R1-5W). |
