Advanced technology for precipitation detection

Lambrecht meteo, an AEM brand, is a leading global supplier of sensors for rain measurement and precipitation detection.

Time-critical and water management applications

Measuring precipitation for water management and public safety is a complex, crucial task. In these times of climate change, precipitation monitoring and measurement is more important than ever, especially as floods and major storms increase around the world. Each individual type of precipitation - rain, snow, freezing rain, or hail - presents unique measurement challenges.

Our real-time complete system facilitates measurement and data collection while ensuring the fastest possible response to flood events or road condition reports.

Consistently reliable and versatile

  • Fast, secure, easy to install and maintenance-free
  • Reliable detection of precipitation types with radar technology
  • Universally compatible with all common data loggers and data acquisition systems 
  • Monitors emerging disasters to accelerate your response

rain[e] · Weighing precipitation sensorrain[e] Weighing precipitation sensor

rain[e] is a new type of weighing precipitation sensor: Highest resolution combined with the most compact design.

The unique self-emptying collection system enables the measurement of every single drop with the high resolution of 0.001 mm/m2. Full functionality all year around without antifreeze fluid makes the rain[e] very environmentally friendly.

rain[e] is easy to lift, transport, install and maintain. The small packing volume and the low weight ensure minimum logistical effort.

The rain[e] series is compatible with OTT and Campbell Scientific data loggers and ideal for setup and expansion of rainfall measurement networks.

  • Amazing resolution and accuracy
  • Checking of sensors with tipping bucket and other weighing systems
  • Compact and robust construction with a very low weight
  • All-metal housing, weatherproof and durable
  • Best connectivity by several interfaces
  • Easy to install and maintain

Also with Modbus or customised protocols realisable!
