AcuRite Wireless Rain Gauges
WeatherShack is the Superstore for wireless rain gauges. Below you can browse many of our AcuRite Wireless Rain Gauges that feature a self-emptying "tipping bucket" collection system. This interesting technology uses two small "buckets" mounted on a fulcrum (balanced like a see-saw). The tiny buckets are manufactured with tight tolerances to ensure that they hold an exact amount of precipitation, typically .01 inch. The tipping bucket assembly is located underneath the rain collector, which funnels the precipitation to the buckets. As rainfall fills the tiny bucket, it becomes overbalanced and tips down, emptying itself as the other bucket pivots into place for the next reading. The action of each tipping event triggers a small switch that activates the electronic circuitry to transmit the count to the digital display. On a wireless rain gauge, that count is transmitted via a radio signal to the indoor display console.
Our selection of wirelss rain gauges are designed with quality craftsmanship for many years of enjoyment.
