Statement

The rain gauge is a sensor to measure rain quantity. The station was installed on October 2001. The measurement device is composed of a collector cone and a double chamber bascule connected to a magnete that operates one (optional two magnetes) reed switch, which generates impulses that can be counted by external meters: each impulse is equal to 0.2 mm of rain (optional from 0.1 and 0,5 mm). The optional model with two reed switches allows to check if the system is connected, since, when on stand by, one contact is always closed.
