Frequently Asked Questions - RG100-B Ambient Weather
How do I install the RG100-B rain gauge?
Choose an open area away from trees and buildings. Mount the gauge on a stable pole or wall using the provided bracket. Ensure the gauge is level and connect the cable to your weather station console.
What is the rainfall resolution of the RG100-B?
The RG100-B measures rainfall in 0.1 mm increments. The tipping bucket mechanism triggers a reed switch for each 0.1 mm of rain, providing precise rainfall data.
How do I maintain the rain gauge?
Clean the funnel and filter every few months. Remove the funnel and rinse it with water to remove debris. Also inspect the tipping bucket for any obstructions to ensure accurate readings.
Why is my rain gauge not reporting rainfall?
Check the cable connections to the console. Ensure the gauge is level and the funnel is not blocked. You can also test the gauge by pouring water slowly into the funnel to see if the console updates.
Can the RG100-B be used with other weather station brands?
The RG100-B is designed for Ambient Weather stations. It may work with other systems if the connection and signal format are compatible, but this is not guaranteed.
How does the self-emptying mechanism work?
A tipping bucket collects water until it reaches a set amount (0.1 mm). The bucket then tips over, activating a reed switch that sends a pulse to the console. After tipping, it returns to its original position.
What is the maximum rainfall rate the gauge can handle?
The RG100-B can measure rainfall rates up to 150 mm/h without overflowing. This capacity is sufficient for heavy rain events.
Does the RG100-B require batteries?
No. The rain gauge is wired to the weather station console, which provides the necessary power. No separate batteries are needed for the gauge itself.
What is the recommended mounting height?
Mount the gauge at least 45 cm above the ground or a few feet above the roof. Ensure it is not shaded by structures or vegetation to collect rain accurately.
How do I test if the rain gauge is working correctly?
Pour water slowly into the funnel. The console should display the rainfall count. If it does not, check all connections and confirm the gauge is level. Each tip should increment the count.
