Instrument serves as sensor
for quantity and intensity of
precipitation, for the analogue
transmission of measuring
values.
The tips of a tipping bucket
are detected by a contact.
The arising pulses are
processed in an electronics.
Analogue output:
The following output functions
are selectable:
1.) The analogue output is
available as accumulated
value in proportion to the
precipitation pulses.
Here, the analogue value
is resets automatically to zero
mm precipitation in case of
measuring value exceeding,
or through an external pulse.
2.) The analogue output can
deliver the data as gliding
accumulated value over a
selectable time
(10 / 60 min., 6 / 24 h ).
Pulse output:
The precipitation pulse is available
in parallel to the analogue
output via an optocoupler

with Datalogger DL 1/N
The instruments serve for

is detected through a
tipping bucket forming and
sending an electric pulse.
This pulse is stored in the
integrated data logger together
with date and time.
The stored data can be
interrogated either directly
via serial interface, or can be
read-out through a memory
card, and then processed
with a PC-software.

Datalogger DL 1/N
The Datalogger is used to store
and record the pulse from a
Precipitation Transmitter with a
Reed-contact. The precipitation
is measured by a tipping
bucket with a Reed-contact
output.
These impulses (0.1 mm/
pulse) are stored in the
memory together with the
date and time.
The date, time, name of the
station and the store interval
are set by two buttons.
The stored data can be accessed
either direct over the serial
interface or it can be read with
a Memory (Smart) card.
The Datalogger is battery
driven and therefore mains
independent.
