  • Page 6: Introduction

    1. Introduction The CS705 Snowfall Adapter converts a TE525WS Texas Electronics Rain Gauge to a rain and snow gauge. It consists of an antifreeze reservoir, overflow tube, and catch tube. Snow captured in the catch tube dissolves into the antifreeze raising the overall level. The mixture flows through the overflow tube into the tipping bucket where it is measured.

  • Page 7: Initial Inspection

    The CS705 converts the TE525WS Texas Electronic Rain Gauge, into a year- round precipitation gauge. The CS705 is intended for use only during winter. Like any sensor, optimum performance is obtained by regular site visits. Any antifreeze-based precipitation gauge orifice is susceptible to capping or snow bridging.

    4.2 Tipping bucket compatibility The CS705 is equipped with a specially sized cylinder that allows it to nest within the 8-inch orifice of the TE525WS rain gauge. The CS705 cannot be directly used with other Campbell Scientific rain gauges.

  • Page 9: Installation

    Choose a site that is easily accessible throughout the winter. The CS705 Snowfall Adapter and associated rain gauge should be mounted in a relatively level spot that is representative of the surrounding area. The lip of the funnel needs to be horizontal and 76 cm (30 in) above the ground or higher to prevent burial by snow.

    CM300-series poles can be embedded directly into a concrete foundation (FIGURE 6-2 (p. 5)) or used with a pedestal kit. Campbell Scientific offers a j-bolt pedestal kit, a short-leg (23 in) pedestal kit, and a long-leg (39 in) pedestal kit (see FIGURE 6-3 (p.

    8. Fasten the catch tube of the CS705 to the mounting pole using the band clamps and storage mount (see FIGURE 6-8 (p. 11)). 9. Place the pail below the rain gauge. 10. Connect one end of the tubing onto the funnel and place the other end of tubing in the pail.

    However, local laws, regulations, or policies may require the collection and safe disposal of all antifreeze used in the CS705. The #14087 funnel should be installed with the CM270 mounting kit and attached to user-supplied 0.5-inch (I.D.) vinyl or Tygon tubing that drains into a user-supplied pail.
