The rain gauge RG3-M

The rain gauge resolution 0.02 mm with rG3-M recorder HOBO offers an efficient system of collection and'registration de rainfall data battery powered which includes a data recorder HOBO During Event integrated into a rain gauge.
This model automatically records up to 3200 mm data precipitation, which can be used to determine the rates: heures and duration precipitation.
It also records the temperature when used with a solar radiation shield optional (RS1 Solar Radiation Shield or M-RSA).
A base station BASE-U-4 or a shuttle is required.
