This tipping bucket rain gauge is a reliable and accurate solution for capturing real-time rainfall data. Ideal for environmental monitoring, flood risk assessments, and sewer network performance analysis, it uses a precision tipping mechanism where each tip represents a fixed volume of rainfall, ensuring consistent data even during high-intensity weather events.

Designed for long-term outdoor use, the unit features a rugged, UV-stabilised enclosure with IP65 protection. It comes fully assembled with flat plate mounting hardware and is easily configured via a mobile app (Android 14+), eliminating the need for a PC. With a replaceable lithium battery offering up to 7 years of life and minimal maintenance requirements, this rain gauge is built for dependable, low-intervention operation in the field.
