The volume of water required to cause a tip in the TE525 and the TE525MM is the same. The difference in
calibration is strictly due to funnel size.

If the CS705 Snowfall Adapter or other eight-inch funnel is installed on these gages, refer to
(p. 8) for the
multiplier. See
Changing funnels with a different size
(p. 17) before replacing funnels on any TE525 tipping bucket
rain gage with a different size funnel.
