8.2 Check of the Tipping Bucket
For checking the measuring instrument it is advisable to pour a certain amount of precipitation
slowly and steadily into the collecting funnel. That means, that for example a quantity of 200 cm²
induces a pulse number of 100.
The quantity of 200 cm² should be filled in constantly over a period of approx. 10 minutes.
For Information:
Approx. 98 % of the precipitation in Germany are falling with an intensity of 2
mm/min
Remark:
Every precipitation transmitter is checked, adjusted and calibrated at the
manufacturers. If, in the course of time, the adjustment of the tipping bucket has
changed as a result of external influences, we suggest a check and calibration in
our factory.
