Model 3002 Rainlogger 6
Rain Gauge Datalogging
- Add rainfall data to your monitoring network
- Compatible with Solinst Telemetry Systems
- Designed to be used with most tipping-bucket rain gauges
Easily integrate precipitation data into your groundwater and surface water monitoring network. The Model 3002 Rainlogger 6 records tipping-bucket rain gauge events into non-volatile memory with a 10-year battery life, ABS ESD protection, and 2X communication speed.
- Seamless Correlation with Water Level Data:
Unify precipitation events with groundwater and surface water level changes. Program and manage your Rainlogger 6 directly inside Solinst Levelogger Software alongside your Levelogger 6 Series dataloggers. - ESD-Protected ABS Housing:
Housed in a durable, electrostatic discharge (ESD) resistant ABS enclosure designed to protect internal electronics against static spikes common in exposed field installations. - 2X Download Speed & USB-C Connectivity:
Transfer event logs faster than ever. Full compatibility with the Mk3 USB-C PC Interface Cable boosts communication speeds to 19.2k Baud for efficient field downloads. - Zero-Data-Loss Protection & 10-Year Battery:
Primary memory stores up to 100,000 time-stamped tip readings, reinforced by a dedicated backup memory holding the latest 500 readings for absolute data security.
Turn Rain Events into Actionable Hydrogeological Insights
Whether monitoring urban stormwater runoff or tracking regional recharge rates, understanding precipitation timing and intensity is vital. The Rainlogger 6 turns standard tipping-bucket gauges into autonomous, long-term monitoring stations.
- Event-Based Precision Logging:
Records and time-stamps each individual tip as it occurs, ensuring precise tracking of peak rainfall intensity, total rainfall per period, and storm durations. - Universal Gauge Compatibility:
Easily attaches to standard tipping-bucket rain gauges featuring normally-open or closed reed switch outputs via a simple 3-pin connector cable. - Ultra-Low Maintenance:
Engineered with an internal 10-year lithium battery (typical) and durable wetted materials (ABS, Delrin®, Viton®) weighing just 50 grams (1.8 oz). - Intuitive Software Utilities:
Download data as ‘All Data’, ‘Append Data’, or ‘Partial Download’. Graph, table, or export data seamlessly to spreadsheets for complex hydrological modeling.
Typical Field Applications
- Groundwater Recharge & Infiltration Studies:
Correlating storm events with dynamic water table responses. - Stormwater & Watershed Management:
Quantifying runoff volumes, detention basin performance, and peak flow rates. - Agricultural & Forestry Research:
Monitoring microclimate precipitation, soil moisture recharge, and irrigation demands. - Urban Drainage & Sewer Overflow Monitoring:
Tracking high-intensity rainfall events to prevent municipal system surcharges. - Surface Water & Stream Gauging:
Evaluating flash flood risks and river level fluctuations in response to localized rainfall.

The Importance of Measuring Drawdown
How Using a Levelogger and 101D Water Level DrawDown Meter Together Provides Essential Data What is Drawdown? Drawdown is a change in groundwater level due to an applied stress, caused by events such as: Pumping from a well Pumping from a neighbouring well Intensive water taking from local area Seasonal declines as recharge rates lower How is Drawdown Measured?
