Product advantages

Weighing system with automatic emptying

Like all rain gauges in the rain[e] series, the rain[e]314 uses a sensitive measuring principle and meets all requirements of WMO Guideline No. 8. Real-time measurements for the quantity and intensity of all liquid precipitation in the range of 0–720 mm/h are output accurately and reliably. The rain[e]314 has a compact, robust design and features state-of-the-art weighing technology inside. Fully automatic continuous emptying prevents overflow and measurement errors and enables maintenance-free long-term use even under extreme weather conditions.

  • Output of precipitation intensity, amount, and total amount parameters in real time
  • Measurement of each individual drop with amazing resolution
  • Compact design with enlarged collection area 
  • Best connectivity thanks to a wide range of interfaces for easy system integration
  • Version with highly efficient heating for low power consumption
  • Easy calibration using a reference weight

Windbreak according to Tretyakov

Windshield according to Tretjakov for precipitation sensors

A Tretyakov windshield surrounds a precipitation sensor to attenuate oncoming wind. The funnel-shaped design ensures that the flow field is deflected toward the ground, reducing wind speed in the immediate vicinity of the sensor. 

The wind protection ring is equipped with vertical stainless steel slats arranged in a circle, the undersides of which converge slightly conically. The slats are connected to each other by a chain and can be moved horizontally to ensure good aerodynamic properties.

The Tretjakov windbreak consists of a frame, metal slats, and accessories for quick and easy installation.

  • Different measuring heights for all common precipitation sensors
  • Durable and robust thanks to corrosion-resistant V4A stainless steel
  • Quick and easy installation
