Anodized Aluminum Rain Gauge

The RainWise model RGA industrial tipping bucket rain gauge is constructed from anodized aluminum and stainless steel to provide years of precision recording of rainfall data. The tipping bucket is molded from a specially-formulated plastic that has a very low surface tension coefficient. The weight of the water required to make the bucket tip produces a momentary switch closure that is equal to 0.01 inch/0.25mm of rainfall. This momentary pulse may be used in a system to determine either rainfall amount and/or rate. The same tip that produces the pulse also dumps the bucket so that the gauge never requires emptying. The tipping bucket sensor is mounted on stainless steel instrument bearings and housed in an anodized aluminum case.

Product Features

• An insect/ debris screen is also provided.
• The unit has a built in bubble level to facilitate installation.
• Mounting options include flange feet for mounting on a flat surface or the RainWise Monopod adapter which allows for easy installation and removal.

This pyranometer is a development of the well-known Eppley 10- and 50-junction 180° pyrheliometer originally introduced by Kimball and Hobbs in 1923.

Product Features

The detector is a differential thermopile with the hotjunction receivers blackened and the cold junction receivers whitened.
The element is of radial wirewound-plated construction with the black segments coated with 3M black and the white with Barium Sulfate. Built-in temperature compensation with thermistor circuitry is incorporated to free the instrument from effects of ambient temperature. A precision ground optical glass hemisphere of Schott glass WG295 uniformly transmits energy from 285 to 2.800 millimicrons. This hemispherical envelope seals the instrument from the weather, but is readily removable for instrument repair. The cast aluminum case carries a circular spirit level and adjustable leveling screws. There is also a desiccant, which can be inspected readily.
In early 1977, a design change was incorporated in the sensing element to resolve a previous problem of error when the instrument was used other than horizontally. Current models can be used on a tilt or at any orientation with no effect on sensitivity. Included is a calibration certificate traceable to the World Radiation reference which includes conversion factors for different energy units. The RainWise Black and White Pyranometer is manufactured by Eppley and is covered under their warranty.

The HM-1 HAZMAT weather station is designed for first responders to hazardous material incidents. The weather station provides important real-time information for monitoring and responding to incidents. The station works in conjunction with CAMEO/ALOHA software that enables responders to monitor plume dispersion. CAMEO was developed by Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention Office (CEPPO) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office of Response and Restoration (NOAA). The software was developed for front-line chemical emergency planners and responders. CAMEO helps in evaluating and predicting dispersion patterns. The portable nature of the HM-1 and its long range radio allows responders to monitor the situation in real-time and from a safe distance.

Due to recent events and the creation of the Department of Homeland Defence many Hazmat teams now face new challenges and responsibilities. For this reason the HM-1 includes a radiation detector, this sensor gives first responders an early warning for the presence of radiation. We hope that nobody ever needs the sensor but hopefully the fact that it is present will give those on the front line a little peace of mind.

The detector unit is temperature controlled at a fixed temperature to maximize the performance in a wide operating temperature range. It can be fully controlled by the data logger through the serial command interface without the need for a seperate PC.
The MS - 700 DNI with 5 degree angle collimating tube benefits from the same characteristics as the MS - 700. The quarts window is heated and will remain free from dew deposition and ice. Due to its compact size it can be used in combination with the STR-21G and STR22G sun trackers.

The new generation grating spectroradiometer MS - 711 is designed to provide the most accurate solar spectral data outdoors. The MS - 711 is a unique all weather sensor, without any moving parts. The detector core is temperature controlled to provide accurate irradiance measurment data within the spectral range from 300nm to 1100nm (UV / Visible / NIR).
MS - 711 is accurately calibrated with traceability to the international standards and issued with a calibration uncertainty budget. The rugged optical design of the diffusor and input oprics make the MS concept superior to any fiber optic spectroradiometer which will be susceptible to mechanical vibration and handling. The MS spectroradiometers are designed for permanent installation, but are perfectly suited as a traveling reference.
MS - 711 has a seperate power supply unit and can be controlled through RS232 . 422 by a PC or data logger. The PC software provides different functions for operating, data managment and visualization. Through the open command protocol of the defined system control functions, software can be developed by the individual user. Measuring spectral irradiance is a must to understand the effect of the non-uniform energy distribution of the sun. Since the solar spectrum varies as a function of air-mass and composition of the atmosphere, the MS - 711 reveals those details. While thermopile pyrheliometers and pyranometers are most suitable to quantify the total DNI or global radiation (W/m2/nm), which is most important for PV or CPV cell research and performance analysis.

For solar spectral research, we believe only one measurement concept can be the best. The combination of MS - 711 and MS - 712, called WISER is the reference in the market and designed to provide the most accurate solar spectral data outdoors. The MS - 711 and MS - 712 spectroradiometer are unique all weather concept spectroradiometers with no moving parts and temperature controlled spectrometers. The MS - 712 can be used stand alone, but in combination with the MS - 711 it covers the spectral range from 300nm to 1700nm. MS - 711 measures in the range from 300 nm and 1100nm, and MS - 712 covers the near infared (NIR) range between 900nm and 1700nm. Both spectroradiometers are accurately calibrated with traceability to the international standards and issued with a calibration uncertainty budget.
