HD2013-DB is a data logger that has been specifi cally developed to capture
and store rainfall trends. It works with a long life lithium battery that provides,
together with the large memory, remarkable recording capacity without user
intervention. For user convenience, the supplied lithium battery, when exhausted,
can be also replaced by three alkaline batteries (not supplied with instrument).
The backlit display shows in real time the rain quantity during various time
intervals.
The instrument is perfectly waterproof thanks to the use of reed relays, instead
of the common push-buttons. The reed relays are operated through a magnet,
attached to the end of an aluminium handle tied to the case. When not in use,
the magnet is placed back into its holder.
The software HD32MTLogger supplied with the instrument allows setting of
the parameters of the instrument, the real time display of the values captured
by the data logger, the download to a PC and the process of the stored data.
The connection to the PC is made via the M12 8-pole RS232C serial connector
placed at the bottom of the instrument.
HD2013-DB can be connected to the most popular types of rain gauges with
normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO) output contact.
The display auto power-off feature allows to prolong the battery life. A front LED
lets you check the operating status of the instrument when the display is off.
The LED changes color when the rain gauge contact switches, thus allowing to
verify that the rain gauge tipping bucket returns correctly in the stable position
after emptying.
