The Model 3510 Tipping Bucket Rain Gage is recognized
as the standard for measuring rainfall and precipitation
in remote and unattended locations. The unit consists of a
collector funnel, a stainless steel filter screen and a
tipping bucket mechanism. The bucket tips when
precipitation of 0.2 mm, 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm or 0.01 inch has
been collected. Each tip is marked by a reed switch
closure and can be recorded by datalogger or DCP for
satellite or radio telemetry transmitting.
The Model 3510 Tipping Bucket Rain Gage is designed for
general rainfall measurements. The receiver is 8" (200 mm)
in diameter and tipping buckets are available to measure
each 0.2, 0.5 1.0, or 0.01 inch of precipitation. The 0.2,
0.5 mm and 0.01 inch gages are supplied with a siphon that
allows the rain to flow at a steady rate to the tipping
bucket mechanism regardless of rainfall intensity. Because
of this typical rain bucket errors become constant
allowing the calibration process to minimize them. This
provides accurate measurements for a range of 0 - 27" (700
mm) per hour enabling the Model 3510 to record instant
measurements. The siphon can be dismantled for routine
servicing.
