    SDI-12 Tipping Bucket Rain

    Gauge with Siphon


    5600-0725
    Overview
    Sutrons 5600-0725 SDI-12 Output Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge with Siphon
    is the recognized standard for measuring rainfall & precipitation in remote,
    unattended locations. Building upon Sutrons 5600-0625 rain gauge, the 56000725 adds compact electronics to provide tip counts, daily accumulations, yearly
    accumulations, compensated tip counts and more over the SDI-12 interface.
    The key features of this unit are its 5-inch high catch to reduce splash loss, siphon
    mechanism to even out tip errors over a large precipitation rate and electronics
    to compensate for any residual errors.

    Pole-Mounted Tipping
    Bucket Rainfall Station

    The unit is composed of a collector funnel, a stainless steel filter screen, a siphon,
    tipping bucket mechanism and the tipping bucket-to-SDI-12 interface electronics.
    The bucket tips when precipitation of 0.2 mm, 0.5mm or 0.01 inch have collected
    in the bucket. The tip is counted by the SDI-12 interface which stores the raw
    tip count, compensated tip count, user-specified precipitation rate intervals and
    much more easily accessed by a data logger using SDI-12 commands. The data
    logger/DCP records data & transmits it via satellite, cellular or radio to a database
    for viewing anywhere around the world.

    SDI-12 Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge with Siphon 5600-0725 2

    Software Functionality
    Simple SDI command to measure and configure the device
    Computes total accumulation, accumulation since last measurement,
    accumulation yesterday and annual accumulation
    Programmable daily and annual accumulation resets
    User configurable window for rain intensity calculations
    Configurable bucket size
    Supports a third order polynomial for heavy rainfall compensation

    General Features
    High Reliability due to a digital interface
    Compact, rugged and water resistant construction for installation in harsh
    environments
    ~10 hours of runtime off internal backup power
    Ultra low power consumption

    SDI-12 Tipping Bucket Interface


    Reduce Rain Data Errors : This simple and compact SDI-12 Interface converts
    any* Tipping Bucket into a smart SDI-12 sensor that computes daily & annual
    accumulation. The SDI-TB has an internal backup power source and can be
    programmed to compensate for heavy rainfall.

    Smart Interface with Heavy Rainfall Compensation for Most


    Tipping Buckets

    The SDI-TB can be programmed to compensate for rainfall lost due to


    heavy rainfall causing outsplash especially when using a tipping bucket
    without a siphon.

    Improved Reliability

    The SDI-TB is compact and can be easily mounted inside most tipping
    buckets. This eliminates the need for long wires (from the tipping bucket
    to the SDI logger) susceptible to noise,

    Programmable Daily & Annual Resets

    The SDI-TB has an internal RTC that can be used to automatically compute
    yearly and daily accumulations.

    Rechargeable Backup Power

    The SDI-TB can run off its internal rechargeable backup power in case SDI
    power is lost. All crucial functions of the SDI-TB, like measuring rainfall and
    the internal RTC, can run for up to 10 hours without SDI-12 power.

    Low Power

    The SDI-TB draws about 100A and has been optimized to run on a shoestring power budget.

    Compact Rugged, Water Resistant

    The SDI-TB is compact and encapsulated in a water-resistant epoxy


    compound for installations in humid environments.
