1 INTRODUCTION HD2015 is a reliable and sturdy bucket rain gauge, entirely constructed of corrosion resistant materials in order to guarantee its durability. To ensure accurate measure- ments even with low temperature climatic conditions or during and after precipitations of snow, a version with heating system, automatically activated around +4 °C has been developed to prevent snow deposits and ice formations.
+4 °C temperature Protection degree IP 64 Collector area 200 cm Minimum section of the wires 0.5 mm for the version without heating system (HD2015) of the connecting cable 2.5 mm for the version with heating system (HD2015R) HD2013 V1.0...

Rainfall rate (mm/h) Fig. 1 – Normalized resolution (0.2 mm @ 50 mm/h) as a function of the rainfall rate Rainfall rate (mm/h) Fig. 2 – Normalized resolution (0.5 mm @ 50 mm/h) as a function of the rainfall rate To correct the measurement depending on the rainfall rate, it is necessary to log, in addition to the number of pulses, also the instants at which the pulses occur.
3 INSTALLATION The rain gauge is supplied already calibrated at 0.1 - 0.2 or 0.5 mm of rain per tip of the bucket: the calibration value is shown on the instrument label. The instrument must be installed in an open area, away from buildings, trees, etc., ensuring that the space above is free from objects which may obstruct the rain meas- urements and placed in an easily accessible position for periodical cleaning of the fil- ter.
