TE525-L

This wind screen consists of 32 leaves that hang freely and swing as the wind moves past them. The 260-953 helps minimize the affect of wind on the rain measurements.

The CM300 provides a 23-inch long pole for mounting the TE525. This pole can be embedded directly into a concrete foundation or used with a pedestal kit. Campbell Scientific offers a j-bolt pedestal kit for permanent installations; a short leg kit for many temporary installations and many situations where it is impractical to use a concrete foundation; and a long leg kit for locations where the feet cannot be secured (e.g., pole sitting on a roof) or for areas that experience high wind speeds.

The CM305 provides a 47-inch long pole for mounting the TE525. This pole can be embedded directly into a concrete foundation or used with a pedestal kit. Campbell Scientific offers a j-bolt pedestal kit for permanent installations; a short leg kit for many temporary installations and many situations where it is impractical to use a concrete foundation; and a long leg kit for locations where the feet cannot be secured (e.g., pole sitting on a roof) or for areas that experience high wind speeds.

The CM310 provides a 56-inch long pole for mounting the TE525. This pole can be embedded directly into a concrete foundation or used with a pedestal kit. Campbell Scientific offers a j-bolt pedestal kit for permanent installations; a short leg kit for many temporary installations and many situations where it is impractical to use a concrete foundation; and a long leg kit for locations where the feet cannot be secured (e.g., pole sitting on a roof) or for areas that experience high wind speeds.

The 13818 is a user-replaceable screen. Its 6" diameter fits at the base of the funnel.

The 5603 is for newer TE525-series rain gauges that have the reed switch enclosed in a black plastic housing. A screwdriver is required to replace the switch and rewire the connections. This replacement can generally be accomplished by users who wish to perform the replacement themselves. Alternatively, an RMA may be requested from Campbell Scientific, and the switch can be replaced by one of our technicians; this option may be more viable if the rain gauge is scheduled to undergo factory recalibration at the same time.

The 16567 is offered for customers wanting factory calibration. When factory calibration is ordered, Campbell Scientific will calibrate the rain gage using a procedure similar to that described in the manual (summing the recorded tips expected given a known volume of liquid passing through the gage then adjusting the calibration based on the result). Recalibration requires an RMA (Returned Material Authorization).

Note: the funnel is not required for the recalibration process. It may be removed to save on shipping costs, but the size of the funnel is required for the recalibration process and should be supplied with the base of the gauge.
