T-200B All Weather Precipitation – Rain Gauge
Overview
Geonor's automatic and proprietary precipitation gauges provide accurate and reliable measurements of the amount and intensity of precipitation in any form. They contain no moving parts and require minimal maintenance.
Geonor's precipitation sensors have gained a large international market and are particularly popular in cold regions. More than 3,000 systems and more than 5,000 OEM sensors have been delivered worldwide. The precipitation gauges can be equipped with a logger that can transmit data wirelessly and continuously to a head office.
Our precipitation meters were developed in the 1980s in collaboration with NGI and the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. The measurement technique is based on the oscillating string principle. The first precipitation meter of this type was installed in 1984 and was the first precipitation meter in the world based on the weighing principle. This has become the industry standard for measuring sold precipitation. We are still working on further development of the gauges, and they can now be delivered in different versions (600mm, 1000mm, and 1500mm), along with both analog and digital (SDI 12) output that provides access to both raw and processed data.
Applications
The T-200 series precipitation – rain gauges are used world wide by;
National weather services
Climatic research institutes
Hydro power companies
Airport authorities
Road authorities
Agricultural services
Avalanche prediction centers
Flood prediction
OPTIONS
1500 MM CAPACITY – There are three versions of the T-200B precipitation – rain gauge:
T-200B…………600 mm (24 in)
T-200BM…….1000 mm (40 in)
T-200BMD…..1500 mm (60 in)
T-200BHC…..3000 mm (120 in)
1 or 3 SENSOR SYSTEM – The original T-200B precipitation – rain gauge used 1 vibrating wire (vw) sensor to measure the load at one of the three supporting points. As long as the container is level the load would be evenly distributed. Although this works very well for some application we offer the option of incorporating 3 vw sensors, this acts as a triple redundant back up making sure precipitation will always be recorded. It can also be used as an averaging function.
WHITE HOUSING – The standard housing for all T-200BMD 1500mm systems is white using a hydrophobic paint. The anodized aluminium and black housing is currently standard on all other models (T-200B & T-200BM). The original T-200B came with an anodized aluminum housing and black inlet. The inlet was black to prevent “capping” by using the energy from solar radiation to melt any buildup on the inlet.
