R2S-UMB
Description
The Radar Rain Sensor (R2S) is a precipitation sensor which can be used to determine both the type of precipitation and its quantity and intensity. The R2S operates with a 24GHz Doppler radar, which records raindrop fall speed. The precipitation quantity is then calculated by means of the correlation of raindrop size and speed. The measurements are made available via the RS485 interface or 2 digital outputs. The equipment is connected by means of an 8-pole screw-in connector with the associated connection cable. Windows PC software is available for configuration and measurement polling during
commissioning.
Features
The R2S has the following outstanding features:
- Maintenance-free precipitation sensor
- Differentiation between rain / snow / hail / freezing rain / sleet
- Calculation of quantity (choice of 1mm, 0.1mm or 0.01mm resolution)
- Calculation of intensity
- Interface: RS485 (half-duplex) and 2 digital outputs
- Configurable as a replacement for tipping bucket systems
