TB4-L

Rain Gage

The TB4 is ideal for measuring heavy rain. It is a tipping-bucket rain gage with an internal siphon that causes the rain to flow to the measurement mechanism at a steady rate, regardless of intensity. This reduces typical rain bucket errors and produces more accurate measurements. The TB4 is used in environmental monitoring applications. The TB4 funnels precipitation into a bucket mechanism that tips and actuates a switch. The momentary switch closure is counted by the pulse-counting circuitry of any of the Campbell Scientific dataloggers.

The "-L" on a product model indicates that the cable length is specified at the time of order.
