    260-RGAI-70 Rain Gauge Analog Interface

    Rain Gauge Analog Interface
    260-RGAI-70 Rain Gauge Analog Interface
    The 260-RGAI-70 Rain Gauge Interface converts the signal from a tipping bucket rain gauge into a 4-20 mA current loop signal, ideal for input to a PLC or SCADA system. Each tip of the rain gauge bucket causes the output signal to increase 1% of full scale. Full scale represents 100 tips of the bucket.
    Product Details

    Applications

    • Meterological Studies
    • Irrigation Monitoring/Control

    Features

    • +/- 1% Accuracy
    • 4-20 mA Loop Powered
    • 12-24 Vdc Input
    • NEMA Enclosure
    • Rain Detector Mode (4mA = no rain, 20mA = rain detected)

    The 260-RGAI-70 can be used with any tipping bucket gauge that has a dry contact output. The calibration of the gauge can be inches or millimeters. A common calibration unit is 0.01" of rainfall per tip of the bucket. In this case, the full scale output (20mA) represents 1 inch of rain. The output remains constant at the end of each tip until the next tip occurs.
