Felix Precipitation Gauge Description:
Felix all-metal precipitation gauge measures rain and/or snow in all environments using a tipping bucket mechanism. The economical tipping bucket design allows accurate, repeatable measurements, requiring no regular maintenance. Each model is optimized to meet particular site and sampling requirements and exceeds EPA specifications. 
Operation 
When a precise amount of precipitation is collected in one side of the bucket, gravity tips the assembly and activates a reed switch. A momentary electrical contact closure is provided for each increment of rainfall. The sample is discharged through the base of the gauge. The optional heating elements are thermostatically controlled to melt snow and ice and avoid evaporative loss.
Construction
The heavy machined aluminum base provides a stable platform for the tipping assembly. The bucket is made from stainless steel and is Teflon coated to prevent retention of sample. The bucket pivots are precision machined and fitted with jeweled bearing to reduce wear and friction. The funnel is powder coated aluminum and has two screens for preventing leaves and other debris from entering or clogging the gauge. A circular bubble-level and adjustable feet facilitate proper mounting of the unit. Major components are finished in catalyzed polyurethane paint, with a color and texture chosen to allow the sensor to blend into the environment.
