FEATURES & BENEFITS

Combines Temperature and Humidity onto one sensing unit

Rotronics HygroClip S3 has interchangeable sensing elements requiring no calibration

Stacked plate construction of shelter provides natural ventilation

Quick-Release mounting bracket allows for easy installation and maintenance

Aluminum radiation shield is lightweight and extremely durable

White baked-enamel finish reflects most radiant heat from sun and surrounding objects

INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE

The radiation shield with sensing element can be pole or mast mounted. Whenever possible, sensors should be installed at a height of 4 ft. (1.2 meters) or greater over earth or sod at least 100 ft. (30.48 meters) away from any concrete or other hard-surfaced area and not closer to any other object than four times the height of the object above the instrument shelter or remote sensors. Avoid roof installations if possible. If it is necessary to roof-mount shelters and sensors, they should not be closer than 30 ft. (9.14 meters) to any large, vertical reflecting surface (walls, etc.), exhaust fans, or cooling towers. Electronic remote sensors when roof-mounted should be at least 9 ft. (2.74 meters) or greater above the roof surface. To minimize radiation effects from the roof, they can also be mounted on a horizontal boom so that they will extend from the side of the building roof or tower assembly.

TR-525USW, SERIES 525 RAINFALL SENSORS, TR-525I specifications

Texas Instruments, a leader in innovative technology solutions, has garnered significant attention with its TR-525I and Series 525 Rainfall Sensors, particularly the TR-525USW variant. These sensors are designed to provide accurate and reliable rainfall measurement, making them an essential tool for various applications including agriculture, hydrology, and environmental monitoring.

The TR-525I features a robust design that allows for seamless installation and integration into existing weather stations or standalone applications. Its state-of-the-art technology ensures real-time data collection with minimal maintenance, thereby enhancing user convenience. The sensor employs a tipping bucket mechanism, which distinguishes it from traditional rainfall measurement techniques. This innovative design consists of a calibrated bucket that tips once a predetermined amount of rainfall accumulates, typically 0.2 mm. Each tip is recorded electronically, allowing for precise rainfall measurement over time.

One of the standout features of the Series 525 Rainfall Sensors is their advanced data logging capabilities. The TR-525USW variant integrates sophisticated software that enables users to monitor rainfall data remotely. This connectivity is particularly useful for agricultural planners who must assess environmental conditions regularly. The sensors can be integrated with wireless communication technologies, ensuring that data is transmitted efficiently to central databases or cloud-based platforms for further analysis.

Moreover, the TR-525 series offers excellent durability, making it suitable for various weather conditions. With IPX4 water-resistant housing, these sensors can withstand rain, snow, and other harsh environmental elements without compromising performance. The rugged design is advantageous in rural and remote locations where harsh conditions are prevalent.

Accuracy and precision are crucial in meteorological instruments, and the TR-525 series excels. With a measurement range that accommodates both light and heavy rainfall, the sensor ensures that even the slightest precipitation is recorded. Furthermore, periodic calibration ensures that accuracy is maintained over time, making it a reliable choice for critical applications.

In summary, the Texas Instruments TR-525I and Series 525 Rainfall Sensors, particularly the TR-525USW variant, offer cutting-edge technology, reliable performance, and exceptional durability. Their advanced features make them invaluable for anyone in need of precise rainfall measurements, enhancing decision-making processes in agriculture, environmental monitoring, and beyond. As weather patterns continue to change, the importance of reliable rainfall data cannot be overstated, and Texas Instruments is well-positioned to meet this need.
