Product advantages

Efficient heavy rain monitoring thanks to enlarged collection surface

The latest weighing technology in the smallest of spaces, combined with a self-emptying, monolithically manufactured precision tipping bucket, gives the rain[e]400 outstanding resolution and accuracy. Even the first drop is measured! The rain[e]400 weighing precipitation sensor is ideal for setting up new measurement networks and supplementing existing ones.

  • Outstanding resolution and precision
  • For testing sensors with weighbridges and other weighing systems
  • Compact and robust design with very low weight
  • All-metal housing, weatherproof and durable
  • High connectivity thanks to a wide range of interfaces
  • Easy installation and maintenance

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
