Sycba rain gauge

Rain and precipitation gauge

The Sycba Rain Gauge is a rain sensor without moving parts, designed to emulate the function of tipping bucket rain gauges. It uses infrared light optical technology to detect rain impacting its surface, similar to the rain sensors found in vehicles.

The sensor projects infrared light beams through a special lens, and when raindrops hit the surface, they alter the refraction of the light. These changes in intensity correlate with the size of the drops, enabling precise measurements of drops smaller than 0.5 mm. The system automatically adjusts readings to compensate for condensation, ensuring consistent accuracy.

Thanks to its optical technology, the Sycba Rain overcomes the limitations of traditional tipping bucket rain gauges. With no moving parts or funnels that can become clogged, its curved design promotes self-cleaning, improving reliability and reducing maintenance.

Constructed from anodized aluminum, it is resistant to adverse weather conditions, making it ideal for outdoor and remote installations. Its compact design and low energy consumption make it perfect for autonomous power systems.
