Technical Description

The TE525WS funnels precipitation into a bucket mechanism that tips when filled to its calibrated level.  A magnet attached to the tipping mechanism actuates a switch as the bucket tips. The momentary switch closure is counted by the pulse-counting circuitry of our dataloggers.
