The RG3 Data Logging Rain Gauge integrates a HOBO Pendant Event data logger into a tipping-bucket rain gauge.

Records rainfall in inches with time and date for detailed analysis. Capacity: 16,000 events.

Self-emptying for continuous rainfall monitoring.

Blinking LED inside logger case confirms operation.

EEPROM retains memory if battery fails.

Size: 165 mm diam. x 254 mm high. Weight: 1 kg

There are 2 ways to launch the data logger and offload the data:

  •     Using an Optic Base Station with USB interface, and free HOBOware (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.

Logs:

  • Rainfall
  • Temperature

Part Nos:
RG3 (inches)

IMPORTANT: This HOBO data logger needs an Optic Base Station with HOBOware (FREE) or a Shuttle with HOBOware Pro. These are available seperately.
