HIGH PRECISION RAIN GAUGE General rainAhead® is a modern and sturdy rain gauge for measuring rain intensity as well as quantity. The rain gauge is mounted on e.g. a pole and is collecting the rain in the hopper that leads into the patented tilting-cup. rainAhead® is calibrated to create an impulse per 0.2mm rain. A connected MJK unit measures and calculates the intensity and amount of rain. The patented, self-emptying tilting-cup makes rainAhead® one of the most precise rain gauges on the market. Features • 200 cm2 collecting area • Made of Styrosun®, and tolerates temperatures down to -50˚ C. • Patented tilting mechanism provides 5 electric impulses per millimetre rain. • Connect to MJK Connect®, Mµ Connect® or Chatter®.
