Description
Model: ERG-200 / ERG-201
Automatic Tipping-Bucket Rain Gauge
The Encardio-rite ERG-200 and ERG-201 are precision tipping-bucket rain gauges designed for accurate measurement and recording of rainfall in hydrological, meteorological, and environmental monitoring applications. Built with a proven self-emptying mechanism, these gauges provide long-term reliability, low maintenance, and cost-effective performance in all weather conditions.
Each unit features a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel housing, ensuring durability and stable operation even under harsh outdoor exposure. Every gauge is individually calibrated for optimum accuracy and linearity across a wide range of rainfall intensities.
The instruments include an SDI-12 interface module, allowing seamless integration with Encardio-rite ESCL-10VT data loggers or other standard data acquisition systems for real-time rainfall monitoring and remote data transmission.
