CONNECTION
More SDI-12 sensors can be connected in parallel. The distance between a sensor and the ac-
quisition system should not exceed 60 m. Before connecting the instrument to an SDI-12 net-
work containing other sensors, set the address by using the proper SDI-12 command.

ONTACT OUTPUT
The voltage-free contact output simulates the pulse output of a tipping bucket rain gauge. The
contact is isolated and is normally open. At 1 minute intervals, the output generates a pulse
train (T
ON
≈
60 ms, T
OFF
≈
60 ms) as a function of the rainfall measured in the previous min-
ute. Each pulse corresponds to an amount of rainfall configurable from 0.001 to 1 mm/pulse
(default=0.2) by using the command
CP0
of the ASCII proprietary protocol.
