Optical rain gauge

1. Optical rain gauge product introduction
Optical rain gauge is also called photoelectric rain gauge and photoelectric rain gauge. Optical rain gauge is an intelligent monitoring device for measuring rainfall. The device is constructed with optical sensors and can measure rainfall in minutes. , hourly rainfall, daily rainfall, etc. FT-G1 optical rain sensor adopts three-channel narrow-band infrared detector and pure sinusoidal AC signal source, which has the advantages of high precision, strong anti-environmental light ability, maintenance-free, compatible with other optical sensors (light, ultraviolet radiation, total radiation), etc. Can be widely used in meteorology, agriculture, municipal, transportation and other industries. The sensor is designed with low power consumption and can be applied to unattended observation stations in the field.

2. Product Features of Optical Rain Gauge
This optical rain sensor adopts pure sinusoidal infrared light source, built-in narrow-band filter, and has a rain-sensing surface of 78 square centimeters. It can measure rainfall with high precision and is not affected by high-intensity sunlight and other light. The high-transmittance rain cover does not affect direct sunlight, and is compatible with other built-in optical sensors, such as light, total radiation, and UV sensors.
