1.1 General Description

 

 

The RG-2500 Series consists of two high quality rain gauges, Models RG-2500RGand-

 

2500-12. Model RG-2500 features a standard eight-inch diameter orifice, while the Model

 

RG-2500-12 has a twelve-inch diameter orifice. Both gauges have been designed with high

 

grade materials and have been built to provide years of trouble-free operation.

 

Each of the two gauges consists of a main collection funnel, an outer cover, an internal

 

funnel, a tipping bucket and magnetic switch assembly, a base, and mounting feet with

 

leveling adjustments.

 

 

Electrically heated versions of both gauges can be provided for use in cold climates, for

 

measuring frozen precipitation such as snow and sleet. The electrically heated versions

 

include the features listed above plus a heater element, a thermostat, a fuse holder and fuse,

 

and associated wiring and terminal blocks. The model numbers for the heated rain gauges are

 

RG-2500E andRG-2500E-12.
