52202 Electrically Heated Rain and Snow Gage Introduction The 52202, manufactured by R. M. Young, is an electrically heated tipping bucket rain gage that measures rain, snow, and other frozen precipitation. Its catchment area of 200 cm and measurement resolution of 0.1 mm meet the recommendations of the WMO.
52202 Electrically Heated Rain and Snow Gage Quickstart Short Cut is an easy way to program your datalogger to measure the 52202 and assign datalogger wiring terminals. The following procedures shows using Short Cut to program the 52202. 1. Install Short Cut by clicking on the install file icon. Get the install file from either www.campbellsci.com, the ResourceDVD, or find it in...

Click Next. 5. Under the Available Sensors and Devices list, select the Sensors | Meteorological | Precipitation folder. Select 52202 Rain Gauge. Click to move the selection to the Selected device window. Data defaults to millimeters. This can be changed by clicking the mm box and selecting...
The 52202 has an internal heater that melts snow or other frozen precipitation. This heater is thermostat controlled and requires a reliable source of 24 Vac power. A wall transformer is shipped with the 52202 that plugs into a wall socket to provide the required 24 Vac power.
52202 Electrically Heated Rain and Snow Gage Siting The 52202 should be mounted in a relatively level spot which is representative of the surrounding area. The lip of the funnel should be horizontal and at least 30 cm above the ground. It should be high enough to be above the average snow depth.

The CM220 mounted to a crossarm Alternatively, the 3659 pipe can be attached to the top of our stainless-steel tripods via the CM216 Sensor Mounting Kit. The CM216 extends 4 inches above the mast of a stainless-steel CM110, CM115, or CM120 tripod (see FIGURE 7-3).
52202 Electrically Heated Rain and Snow Gage After mounting the 52202, level the gage and remove the shipping retainer by performing the following procedure: 1. Loosen the three screws that retain housing to base assembly (see FIGURE 7-1). Carefully lift housing free of base.
52202 Electrically Heated Rain and Snow Gage Datalogger Programming Short Cut is the best source for up-to-date datalogger programming code. Programming code is needed, • when creating a program for a new datalogger installation • when adding sensors to an existing datalogger program...
52202 Electrically Heated Rain and Snow Gage Maintenance The rain gage should be inspected periodically. Accumulated dirt and debris should be cleaned from funnel, screen and bucket assembly. Electrical connections should be inspected and cleaned. Leveling screws may be readjusted at this time.
Appendix A. Importing Short Cut Code Into a Program Editor This tutorial shows: • How to import a Short Cut program into a program editor for additional refinement. • How to import a wiring diagram from Short Cut into the comments of a custom program.

Appendix A. Importing Short Cut Code Into a Program Editor mark) begins each line. This character instructs the datalogger compiler to ignore the line when compiling the datalogger code.
Appendix B. Example Programs B.1 Pulse Channel Example Programs The following example programs use a pulse channel to read the output from the precipitation gage. The CR1000 example will also work with the CR800, CR850, CR3000, and CR5000. CR9000(X) programming is similar to the CR1000 except it has an additional parameter in the PulseCount() instruction to specify the pulse module’s slot.
