6216 Heated Rain Gauge
Description...
The rain gauge sensor consists of a gold anodized aluminum connector funnel with a knife edge
that diverts the water to a tipping bucket mechanism. The mechanism is designed so that one tip of
the bucket occurs for each 0.1 inch (0.1mm) of rainfall.
The aluminum housing is covered with a white baked enamel surface to withstand years of
exposure to the environment. The rain gauge is supplied with a 15 ft (4.6 m) cable and 4-pin MS
connector for user installation. The AC 7 ft (2 m) power cord connected to this sensor is not
designed to directly connect to the 6200 field station. A separate AC connection must be arranged
when heating applications are required. The power cord comes with a US standard 3-prong plug.
