4 cm³ (4g water) tipping bucket for precise precipitation measur- • ing in regions with heavy rain falls/ tropical rain Connectable to external data logger, e. g. TROPOS • Winter-fit model (15189 HL) with electronically controlled 2-circuit • heating Weatherproof materials (anodized aluminium, stainless steel) •...
Attention! Do not damage the measuring edge ! If the bucket is tipped, the reed contact that is integrated in Place the precipitation sensor (15189) on the end of the pole the sensor will be closed. This pulse output can be electri- until it fits in.

Operating Instruction Precipitation Sensors (15189) + (15189 HL) Attention! In order to protect the tipping bucket the During operation the tipping bucket lies on the precision buck- dirt spiral must be inserted in the collecting funnel et bearings. To reduce the friction, which is produced at one (Fig.
100 μA is not nec- essary. The LAMBRECHT data loggers (TROPOS and SYNMET) are equipped with such a bounce-free input. Thus the direct out- put signal of the reed contact can be used. An additional ben- efit is a low-current effect.
Operating Instruction Precipitation Sensors (15189) + (15189 HL) Initial operation If the sensor system has been completely mounted and elec- trically assembled, the sensor will be ready for operation. An operational check has to be performed. Maintenance and operational check The precipitation sensor is nearly maintenance-free.
