The Calsense Tipping Rain Bucket, model RB-1, allows a CS3000 with the weather option, model CS3-W-KIT, to keep a record of accumulated rainfall. The Tipping Rain Bucket consists of a tipping mechanism that measures every 0.01-inches of rainfall. This information is passed to the CS3000 controller and, using both the rate and actual amount of rainfall, offsets each station’s run times accordingly.
