The TPS-3100 Total Precipitation Sensor from Yankee Environmental Systems, Inc. is designed for accurate measurement of both snow and liquid precipitation rates. It operates effectively within an environmental temperature range of ¬±50¬8C and has a measurement range of 0-50 mm/hr with an accuracy of ¬±0.5 mm/hr. The sensor features a resolution of 0.1 mm/hr and a repeatability of ¬±0.25 mm/hr, ensuring reliable data collection. The device is powered by an AC line voltage of 100-250 Vac, 50/60Hz, with a maximum power consumption of 600W. It utilizes an embedded CPU for control and offers digital output via RS-232 at 9600 baud, providing 14-bit resolution. The sensor's design includes no moving parts, which enhances its reliability and reduces maintenance needs. For operation in freezing conditions, an antifreeze solution is required to prevent the collection bucket from freezing, with options for both Ethylene glycol and Propylene glycol available. The TPS-3100 is suitable for applications in meteorology, aviation, and surface transportation, making it a versatile choice for engineers seeking a dependable precipitation measurement solution.
The Model TPS-3100 Total Precipitation Sensor provides real time snow and liquid precipitation rates at remote automated weather stations. It represents the first fundamental breakthrough in basic precipitation measurement in several decades, and is ideal for mission-critical meteorological and aviation or surface transportation applications. Because it has no moving parts and does not require anti-freeze (as do conventional weighing precipitation gauges), it provides both high accuracy and superior reliability over the entire � 50� C operating range.
