The unique design and aerodynamic shape of the ARG314 Tipping Bucket precipitation sensor increases measurement accuracy by capturing more rainfall than traditionally shaped cylindrical gauges. The ARG314 is precision-engineered to minimise out-splash and reduce rainfall losses caused by evaporation. The depth, diameter, and angle of the funnel have all been extensively tested and researched to give the optimum accuracy in the field.
The rugged UV resistant material means that the ARG314 can be installed in extremely hostile conditions. This gauge is available in 0.1mm, 0.2mm or 0.5mm resolution (per tip) and comes as standard with a single contact closure reed switch. A dual reed switch upgrade and/or siphon version are available on request. Quality is assured because the gauge is manufactured and assembled by EML in the UK. The ARG314 is a robust and versatile instrument and is compatible with all modern data loggers and event recorders.
