Wireless Rain Gauge Pack

The Wireless Rain Gauge Pack from Data Harvest brings rainfall data collection into the digital age with an easy-to-use, rugged sensor designed for educational use. Employing the reliable œtipping bucket mechanism, this sensor captures real-time precipitation measurements, reporting them directly in millimetres. Ideal for environmental science studies, students can track weather patterns, analyse seasonal rainfall, and link water levels to agricultural or conservation projects. Bluetooth and USB connectivity allow fast pairing with tablets, computers, and smart devices, while the latest EasySense software ensures live feedback and simplified setup. With seamless integration into wider sensor systems-including anemometers and humidity sensors-this pack forms the backbone of a complete meteorology or sustainability investigation. The independent calibration option allows adaptation to localised conditions, encouraging students to understand the importance of accuracy and reliability in scientific data. Whether used in the classroom or mounted outdoors, the pack supports long-term, unattended data collection, making it ideal for long-term environmental monitoring activities.
