TB7 (MTI.RR.TB.HSK.TB7) is a new generation high-quality tipping bucket rain gauge for measuring rainfall and precipitation in remote and unattended locations when used in conjunction with the Undercover data logger (see flip side) or a smart communication module.
TB7 is a reliable ‘low cost’ device with a very good accuracy across a broad range of rainfall intensities. By TB7’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. Enclosure and base consists of robust UV-resistant ASA polymer, and fasteners and filter are made of stainless steel.
