Tipping Rain Gauge
(ETM-RG)
The Tipping Rain Gauge is an ideal complement
to the ET Manager. Self-emptying and frost-
proof, this electronic gauge accurately mea-
sures rain to 1mm per tip. From the top of the
rain collector, water runs through a funnel into
a self-emptying spoon. Once 1mm of water
collects the spoon tips and automatically sends
a pulse message to the ET Manager.
Electrical Specifications
• The Tipping Rain Gauge must be con-
nected to the ET Manager using the

• The cable is 20AWG stranded (7x28)
ETP high-conductivity copper conductors, PVC insulation, parallel: (1) tinned, (1) bare.
• The length of the cable may be extended up to 500 feet.
