Precipitation

TE525WS-L Rain Gauge

The TE525WS-L, made by Texas Electronics, measures the amount of precipitation through the use of a magnetic switch hooked to a tipping bucket.  When the small tipping bucket fills with water, it tips over and sends an electronic pulse to the data logger as the attached magnet passes. This rain gauge conforms to NWS standards.
