200 cm² rain gauge RainBal

400 cm²

HyQuest Solution’s RainBal is a rain gauge hat combines the highly accurate weighing principle with a self-emptying bucket mechanism. Equipped with a load cell, purpose built electronics and dedicated fi rmware, the rain gauge reliably delivers accurate high-resolution data. The compact design allows an easy installation. Due to its low power consumption RainBal is ideal for remote stations powered by battery or a small solar panel. Regarding the bucket orifice different versions are available (200 and 400 cm2). RainBal meets the requirements of the WMO guidelines. The following readings are available via serial interfaces and via the RainBal app (see flipside) one-minute intensity total sum rain duration RainBal is designed as a low-maintenance device: large aperture to ensure infl ow, load cell and simple mechanical design. The advanced high-resolution load cell turns the Rainbal into a balance determining rain mass rather than volume assuring a higher accuracy. Low power consumption, low maintenance and high accuracy in a self-emptying device ensure reduced operational costs, less staff deployment in the field and better data. In addition to our HyQuest data loggers, RainBal is compatible with other data loggers and ideal for setup and expansion of rainfall measurement networks. RainBal achieves very high levels of accuracy by means of correcting the data to eliminate the infl uence of wind vibration, particles, unrealistic weight variations, evaporation, and temperature fluctuation.
