The 260-2102 Rain Logger is an event data logger that connects to standard tipping bucket rain gauges to provide detailed rainfall history. The data can be useful in a wide range of fields such as agriculture, forestry, hydrology, and climatology.

This compact unit comes in a weatherproof case. It records the date and time of each bucket tip, along with the accumulated totals. Data is stored in nonvolatile EEPROM memory that retains collected data even if the battery fails. Direct USB connectivity provides fast data readout.

The 2102 runs for up to 1 year on a user-replaceable battery.

The 43,000 tip/event capacity can record up to 430" of rainfall between readouts at 0.01" per tip. A red light blinks every two seconds when the unit is logging. For start up and readout, the 260-2102 connects easily to your PC using the 195-BHW-LITE Software Starter Kit. The starter kit includes software CD, a USB interface cable, and a manual. The cable connects to an available USB port on your PC.
