Dragino DR-RG-6P, tipping bucket rain gauge for WSC2-Compact

The Dragino DR-RG-6P is a tipping bucket rain gauge with a 200 mm collection area for the autonomous weather station transmitters of the WSC2-Compact series. Each tipping event is reported as a pulse to the transmitter, which calculates the rainfall amount and intensity from it. The sensor is supplied with a 2 m connection cable and is connected to the pulse input of the WSC2-Compact.

Key features:

• Rainfall measurement based on the tipping bucket principle with a 200 mm collection area
• Pulse output, evaluation at the WSC2-Compact in interrupt or counter mode
• Rainfall intensity from 0.01 to 4 mm/min
• 2 m connection cable, two-wire connection

Specifications:

• Measuring principle: Tipping bucket
• Collection area: Ø 200 mm, edge angle 40° to 45°
• Resolution: 0.1 mm
• Measuring range: 0 to 100 mm per day (standard)
• Rainfall intensity: 0.01 to 4 mm/min
• Output: Pulse
• Cable: 2 m, two-wire
• Scope of delivery: 1 × DR-RG-6P

Note: The DR-RG-6P is not heated; therefore, snow and ice are not recorded correctly. For the WSC2-L, -N, and -C, the rain gauges WSS-21 and WSS-08 are suitable.

Areas of application:

• Agricultural weather stations with WSC2-Compact for recording rainfall amounts and heavy rain
• Irrigation management based on the actual amount of rain that has fallen
• Hydrological monitoring in small catchment areas
• Municipal microclimate measurement networks and heavy rain precaution
