CDY-12A Economical Tipping Bucket Rainfall Sensor is a hydrology, meteorological instrument used to measure the nature of rainfall, and it converts the precipitation into a pulse signal output. Designed with insect-proof nets, free blocking nozzle and built-in leveller.This rain drop detector sensor in various industries such as meteorology, hydrology, agriculture, forestry, and field monitoring stations. We can combine it with a rainfall recorder to measure precipitation, precipitation intensity, and precipitation time.
Meteorology and climate research:
In a standard weather station, the plastic tipping bucket rain sensor is basic equipment for measuring rain. Install it in an open and flat area to ensure that you can accurately collect natural precipitation.
When raindrops fall into the sensor’s rain socket, the internal funnel structure gathers them into the hopper. As rain builds up, the hopper will flip when it collects a set amount of water. This amount can be 0.1mm or 0.2mm of rain. Each flip creates an electrical signal.
Hydrology and water resources field:
◉Precipitation is one of the key factors affecting the water level of rivers and lakes. Install plastic tip-over rain sensors in the catchment area of a river or lake to monitor rainfall in real time. Researchers combine these rainfall data with river hydrological models to predict trends in river and lake water levels.
◉Accurate rainfall data is essential for water resource assessment and management. By using plastic tip-over rain sensors for a long time, you can learn about rainfall in an area. This helps you understand the total amount of water resources available. In water planning, planners can use these data to calculate the availability of water.
Agricultural field:
◉In agricultural production, understanding rainfall is of great significance for rational irrigation. Farmers install plastic tip-over rain drop detector sensors in farmland to measure precipitation in real time. Farmers can use the rainfall data provided by the sensors to determine whether irrigation is necessary.
◉Agricultural production is vulnerable to floods and droughts. Farmers can use the plastic tipping bucket rain detector sensor as an important tool for agricultural disaster warning. When too much rain falls, exceeding the drainage capacity of farmland, it can lead to flooding
