(3) Screws (pn 30978) • Overview The CS705 is manufactured by Campbell Scientific and is based on the paper “Measuring Winter Precipitation with an Antifreeze-Based Tipping Bucket System” presented at the 1996 Western Snow Conference (McCaughey and Farnes, 1996). The design possesses inherent delays and is not suitable for real time precipitation measurements.
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 Texas Electronic Rain Gage. The CS705 cannot be directly used with TE525, TE525MM, CS700, or TB4 rain gages.
FIGURE 6-1. Proper gage siting Mounting Pole A user-supplied mounting pole or Campbell Scientific CM300-series stainless- steel mounting pole can be used to mount the CS705 away from the tripod or tower. CM300-series poles can be embedded directly into a concrete foundation (FIGURE 6-2) or used with a pedestal kit.
CS705 Snowfall Adapter CM270 Installation Tools needed: Open end wrench, 7/16 inch open-ended wrench, or 7/16 inch socket • wrench. • Long #2 Phillips Screwdriver Remove manufacturer’s mounting hardware: 1. Remove the three feet mounted on the bottom of the rain gage.
CS705 Snowfall Adapter Do the following to mount the tipping bucket rain gage to the CM270 bracket (FIGURE 6-6): NOTE Follow this procedure to ensure that the tipping bucket is mounted correctly. The adjustment screws for the tipping mechanism will not be accessible if it is mounted incorrectly.
CS705 Snowfall Adapter Attach the mounting bracket/tipping bucket assembly to the mounting pipe or mast: 1. Install and level the mounting pipe or mast. 2. Loosen the mounting bracket’s wingnuts and slide the assembly over the pipe. If necessary, the pole mounting hardware can be removed to get the bolts around the pipe.

CS705 Snowfall Adapter 1. Take one of the black bands supplied with the CS705 and stretch over the TE525WS funnel (see FIGURE and FIGURE 6-9). Catch Tube (pn 13641) Band (pn 10786) Overflow Tube (pn 10750) Antifreeze Reservoir (pn 13645)
8. Fasten the catch tube of the CS705 to the mounting pole using the band clamps and storage mount (see FIGURE 6-8). 9. Place the pail below the rain gage.
When recharging, the solution should be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. The CS705 is recommended only for use during winter. It should be removed, cleaned, and carefully stored after the last snowfall, then reinstalled prior to the first snowfall of the coming winter.
