Met One Rain Gage Models 380 and 385

1. Introduction

Met One's tipping bucket rain or snow gage is used to measure rain or snow

water equivalent on a continuous basis. The Model 380 rain gage is intended

to measure rainfall during above freezing conditions. The Model 385 AC

heated rain gage provides year round measurement of either rain or snow. In

the standard versions Model 380/385, precipitation is measured in increments

of 0.01 inches.

The Model 380 rain gage works by collecting rainfall in the 12 inch collection

funnel and metering the rain into the tipping bucket assembly. When 0.01

inches of rainfall are collected, the tipping bucket assembly tips and activates a

mercury switch. The switch closure is recorded by the datalogger pulse

channel. When the bucket tips, the water drains out the screened base of the

gage. In the case of the Model 385 heated rain gage, snowfall is captured in

the collection funnel and melted by the heater element. After melting, the

snow water is metered into the tipping bucket assembly for measurement of the

snow water equivalent.

The black outer jacket of the cable is Santoprene® rubber. This

compound was chosen for its resistance to temperature extremes,

moisture, and UV degradation. However, this jacket will

support combustion in air. It is rated as slow burning when

tested according to U.L. 94 H.B. and will pass FMVSS302.

Local fire codes may preclude its use inside buildings.

NOTE

3. Installation

3.1 Siting

The rain or snow gage should be mounted in a relatively level spot which is

representative of the surrounding area. The lip of the funnel should be

horizontal and at least 30 inches above the ground. Install the snow gage high

enough to prevent burial by snow during the winter months. The ground

surface around the rain gage should be natural vegetation or gravel. The gage

should not be installed over a paved or concrete surface. Refer to Figure 3-1

for an illustration of gage installation.

The rain or snow gage should be placed away from objects that obstruct wind.

The minimum distance should be 2 times the height of the obstruction or more.

3.2 Mounting

The rain or snow gage is designed to mount on a flat surface. Three equally

spaced adjustable mounting legs are provided. The mounting legs are pre-

drilled for 1/4" bolts on a 9.66" diameter bolt circle. A mounting bracket is

available from Campbell Scientific (CM240) to install either the rain or snow

gage. The mounting bracket provides additional adjustment for leveling the

rain or snow gage. The CM240 base helps level the rain gage, ensuring a more

accurate measurement. The base may be attached to a CM300-Series

Mounting Pole or to a user-supplied 1.5 IPS (1.9” OD, unthreaded) pipe. The

pipe should be long enough to place the gage's orifice at a one-meter height.

The pole or pipe can be placed directly into a concrete foundation, attached to

a concrete foundation using J-bolts, or self-supporting with legs (see Figure 3-

2). A concrete pad is recommended. A typical snow gage installation is

illustrated in Figure 3-1.

Loosen the three screws and lift the housing assembly from the base. Adjust

the three slotted feet on the base of the rain gage and/or the three nuts on the

CM240 to level the gage.

Remove the rubber shipping band securing the stainless steel tipping bucket

assembly. Verify the bucket tips freely and that all the adjusting screws are

tight. Replace the housing assembly and tighten the three screws to secure the

housing to the base. Level the rain gage after mounting it.

3.3 Screen Removal

If snowfall is anticipated, remove the primary screen from funnel, as shown in

Figure 3-3.

Remember to replace primary screen after a snowfall event.
