360 series precipitation gauges are high quality, reliable instruments that measure rain and/ or
snow. The tipping bucket allows for accurate, repeatable measurements and low maintenance

Self-emptying, dual chambered tipping bucket
• Roller on roller pivots
• Funnel screen system prevents debris from
clogging gauge
• Anodized aluminum and stainless steel
construction
• Bubble level & adjustable feet assure proper
mounting
• Optional heating elements for frozen conditions
Operation
When a precise amount of precipitation is collected
in one side of the bucket, gravity tips the assembly
and activates a reed switch. A momentary electrical
contact closure is provided for each increment of
rainfall. The sample is discharged through the base
of the gauge.
The optional heating elements are thermostatically
controlled to melt snow and ice and avoid evaporative
loss.
