Depending on the type of RAM you select
(volatile or non-volatile), the logger can be programmed to record rainfall
for as little as five days at one-minute intervals or for as long as 326
days at one-hour intervals (see table below). At each interval, the logger
records the rate of rainfall during the interval, when the measurement
was recorded, and the total accumulation of rainfall to that point. The
date is also logged at the start of each day. Results may be saved as
English or metric graduations.
Two RGEL rain gauge models are available: a standard
model which is ideal for warm climates and a heated model which, thanks
to two thermostatic blanket heaters, can record accumulation levels of
snow and other frozen precipitation. These heaters automatically switch
on when temperatures drop below 35°F and require their own 120V or 220V
electrical power supply. Both models include a data logger, PC interface
cable, rechargeable battery, and PVC mounting post.
