Abstract

See full text

A structural arrangement for a tipping bucket rain gauge and related micro controlled electronic system, the features of which include remote monitoring and identification of possible operating faults or defects in the rain gauge such as jamming of the tipping bucket or clogging of the funnel by reading data from the sensor and the pulse generator and also possible measurement errors caused by defects in the sensor or in the pulse generator or caused by inclination or vibration of the rain gauge. Such monitoring is provided by a capacitive sensor arranged such as to detect the accumulation of water in the funnel and also water flow, and by a pulse generator arranged to measure the number of movements of the tipping bucket and includes a control module that communicates with the capacitive sensor and with the pulse generator of the tipping bucket and with an accelerometer provided in the control module itself.
