Step2:
The nozzle is then screwed back on the cylinder and placed through the holding plate which sits on the catch of
any 200 or 203mm Tipping Bucket Rain gauge.
Note:
It
is
really
essential
to
wet
the
rain
gauge
syphon
before
performing
the
calibration.
This
action
will
increase
the
accuracy
of
the
calibration
results.
Step3:
A pre-set volume of water will discharge through the Tipping Bucket Rain gauge. This process is to be repeated
a second time for an accurate calibration check. The number of tips can be manually counted or stored on the
data logger for calibration check evidence and then checked with ‘‘Calibration Specifications’’ to confirm that
the results come within the acceptable range. Please note, HyQuest Solutions also provides optional counter
model TRD (Total Rainfall Display) to avoid human manually counted error.
