5.10 Rain Logger

The Solinst Rain Logger (Fig 5-14) is designed to count the tips of an external tipping-bucket rain gauge within a user defined sample interval and output the total rainfall over that sample interval. The Rain Logger can store 24000 readings. The Rain Logger is designed to be compatible with the Solinst Levelogger series of products and is therefore programmed and data is viewed and exported using the Levelogger Software from a PC. It can be communicated with using a Leveloader and can be integrated into an STS Telemetry system.

The Rain Logger can be set up to log rainfall depth at intervals from 5 minutes to 90 minutes and also calculates and presents the maximum 5 minute rainfall intensity within the sampling interval. The Rain Logger is housed in a polycarbonate water-resistant housing. It should not be exposed to direct rainfall or submerged.
