KISTERS’ TB4 Series II (MTI.RR.TB.HSK.TB4) is a high-quality tipping bucket rain gauge for measuring rainfall in urban and rural locations. Due to the integrated syphon, the gauge delivers high levels of accuracy across a broad range of rainfall intensities. By TB4 Series II’s tried and proven design long-term, accurate and repeatable results are provided. It is manufactured from high quality, durable materials providing long-term stability in the harshest of environments. It consists of a robust powder-coated aluminium enclosure, a UV-resistant ASA polymer base, a teflon bucket, and stainless steel fasteners and finger filter. TB4 Series II provides a finger filter that prevents the collector catch area from blocking when leaves, bird droppings and other debris find their way into the catch. The base incorporates two water outlets at the bottom allowing for water collection and data verification.
