Hydreon Industrial-Grade Optical Rain Gauge RG-15 Rain Sensor. New In Box! Note: Box does show some damage, however itself is brand new with no damage. Please see pictures. Hydreon RG-15 Optical Rain Gauge The Hydreon RG-15 is a high-accuracy, maintenance-free optical rain sensor intended to replace conventional tipping buckets. Features: Features nominal accuracy of within 10% compared with tipping bucket Low power consumption makes it well-suited for solar charged applications. RS-232 serial communications for configuration and data collection. Overview: The Hydreon RG-15 Solid State Tipping Bucket is a rainfall-measuring device intended to replace conventional tipping buckets. The RG-15 is rugged, reliable, maintenance-free and features a nominal accuracy of within 10%. The RG-15 is designed to replace tipping bucket rain gauges in many applications where their maintenance requirements make them impractical. Design: The RG-15 uses beams of infrared light within a plastic lens about the size of a tennis ball. The round surface of the lens discourages the collection of debris, and the RG-15 has no moving parts to stick to, and no water-pathways to clog. The device features an open-collector output that emulates a conventional tipping bucket, as well as serial communications that provide more detailed data and allow for configuration of the device. Mechanics: The RG-15 may be configured through the serial port, or optionally via DIP switches. Power consumption of the RG-15
