  • Page 2: Dimensional Drawing

    Operating Instructions Precipitation Sensors (15188++) Function Dimensional drawing The weighing precipitation sensor (15188++) measures the rain quantity by a tipping bucket developed by Joss-Tog- nini, the bearings of which have been arranged for low fric- tion. Errors that normally occur due to incomplete draining because of surface tension are automatically compensated by the specific form of the tipping bucket.

In order to protect the tipping bucket the To avoid damage to the tipping bucket during trans- dirt spiral must be inserted in the collection funnel port, it is separately packed and should be inserted (fig.
