Description
The RainTrak is one of the rainfall stations that uses the GSM / GPRS telemetry to transmit the data to central station and technology to retrieve remotely the rainfall data stored in the logger.
The unit consists of a tipping bucket rain gauge mounted on a 2” pipe and a stainless steel enclosure that encloses a data logger, a GSM / GPRS modem and a 12VDC battery. Battery charging is via 10 watt solar panel.
One of the main features of the RainTrak is the ability to access the rainfall data remotely. If using a GSM modem the unit must be loaded with a data enabled SIM which must be purchased by the customer from a phone supplier. The user simply need to define the time interval of data transfer in logger, on that interval modem will initialise a communication with the logger and transmit the rainfall data to server as well as on E-mails (if required).
Operation:
The bucket tips when precipitation of say 0.5mm (Resolution of Bucket) has been collected. A pulse from each tip is sensed by the reed switch and logged to a data logger. The dual reed switch can also transmit the pulse to a telemetry system
Features:
The rain gauge design for reliable and accurate field data under the prevailing Indian environmental conditions and under cyclonic weather condition.
- Our rain gauge system is easy to operate and maintain.
- System consists of a collector funnel with a leaf filter and siphon flow mechanism.
- The System includes dual collected rainfall discharge outlets.
- The unit has dual reed switches with varistor protection
- Our rain gauge withstands exposure to extreme climatic conditions.
- The minimum expected operational lifetime is 10 years without loss of functioning.
- PHAME’s TBRG has bulls eye level indicator with SS (316 grade) nut, bolts & washers.
- The system have the facilities for reset of the Rainfall reading before start of Monsoon.
- The system has suitable Data Logger (IP65 casing) and Modem which will send field data through Email & Website. Also generate Alarm and SMS as per user requirement. This system is configurable remotely.
