Keep an eye on precipitation with this professional tipping bucket rain gauge by Davis Instruments. The AeroCone Rain Collector 6466 is a stand-alone rain gauge that detects and collects rain, and measures rainfall in litres per day.
This IoT rain sensor works through a self-emptying tipping spoon that tips every 0.2 mm, providing reliable and accurate rain data for your measuring project. The sensor is factory-calibrated and comes with a locking debris screen, mounting hardware, and optional bird spikes.
At Crodeon we like to combine our passion for user-friendly remote monitoring with the measuring excellence of trusted sensor manufacturers, which is why we made this Davis tipping bucket rain gauge Reporter compatible. The Davis rain sensor is constructed out of UV-resistant plastic, and designed for years of accurate and trouble-free service. Its shape allows for maximum aerodynamics that minimise rainfall catch reduction caused by high winds.
Reporter is our plug & play sensor module that makes remote monitoring accessible to companies of any size. This sensor comes with a Crodeon sensor adapter to ensure easy plug & play installation using Reporter. Jumpstart your own rain-measuring IoT project without the hassle of custom project work!
When the Davis Instruments rain gauge is connected to Reporter, all data measurements are automatically streamed to the cloud (Crodeon Dashboard) where you can view all live and historical measurements. The Dashboard also allows you to set alarm notifications. This can be helpful when you want to be alerted when rainfall exceeds a certain threshold.
Reporter comes with an API, when using the Davis rain gauge you could use the API to automatically trigger safety systems, or feed this data into predictive models.
The 6466 rain gauge, now plug & play compatible for your desired remote monitoring application in research, agriculture, construction, and more.
