operating freely.
§
Replace and secure the enclosure.
4.2 Electrical
Dual reed switches are provided for several reasons:
§
Two isolated switches permit the control of two separate circuits; e.g. a local counter and a telemetry circuit.
§
Parallel connection of both switches increases the current carrying capacity of the contact system if required.
§
Parallel switch operation confers a degree of redundancy in locations where data from the Rain gauge is critical to
flood warning etc.
