The WS-601R Maintenance-Free Rain Gauge uses a piezoelectric sensor to detect the kinetic energy of raindrops, converting it into precise rainfall readings. Compared to traditional tipping-bucket rain gauges, it offers higher sensitivity, no mechanical wear, and zero routine maintenance.
◀◀ Key Selling Points ▶▶
Maintenance-Free & High Sensitivity: Utilizes a piezoelectric sensor that converts raindrop kinetic energy into rainfall measurements. No moving parts, no frequent servicing required.
Accurate Real-Time Data: Captures raindrop signals continuously, with cumulative rainfall calculated every 5 minutes.
Smart Data Reporting:
No rainfall: reports once per hour.
During rainfall: reports every 5 minutes.
Customizable Alarms: Supports up to 5 time periods and 2 alarm levels, enabling flexible rainfall threshold settings.
Local Alarm Capability: Can send real-time rainfall data and alerts to multiple household alarm receivers.
LoRaMesh Networking: Self-forming multi-hop communication network for reliable data transmission in mountainous or canyon terrain.
Solar-Powered Operation: Equipped with 6 V / 5 W solar panel and 10,000 mAh internal battery, ensuring stable performance without maintenance.
