Key Features 

  • A high quality tipping-bucket rain gauge includes a HOBO Pendant Event data logger. Base station or shuttle is required.
  • Time and date stamp is stored for each tip - provides detail needed to determine rainfall rates and duration.
  • Reliable, field-proven rain gauge.
  • Compatible with HOBOware and HOBOware Pro software for logger setup, graphing and analysis. 
  • Also records temperature when used with an optional solar raditation shield.

There are two ways to launch the data logger and offload the data (see Connectivity Options below):

  • Using an Optic Base Station with USB interface, and HOBOware (FREE) (Windows/Mac) software.
  • Via a Shuttle and HOBOware Pro software. The advantage of this method is that you can launch and offload multiple pendants using the shuttle without the need to take your laptop/PC to each pendant. This is particularly useful for field research.
