Brand new ✔️ Davis AeroCone Rain Collector With Flat Base For Vantage Pro2 👍

Cone design for even more accurate date in especially high
winds

Upgraded from the classic barrel shape design, the new
Davis AeroCone Rain Collector solves the minor
turbulence error when the wind hits the collector and then flows up
and over causing the airflow to accelerate over the top. The new
cone shape allows wind to flow around the cone, reducing turbulence
and friction at the mouth of the collector.

Designed to meet the guidelines of the World Meteorological
Organisation, this self-emptying tipping-bucket design is
exceptionally accurate. Used to display daily and accumulated
rainfall on our weather stations as well as rate of rainfall. The
AeroCone comes with a flat mounting base that replaces the rain
collector on your Vantage Pro2 sensor suite so it can be installed
separately.

How it works
Rain enters the collector cone, passes through a debris-filtering
screen and collects in one chamber of the tipping bucket. The
bucket tips when it has collected an amount of water equal to the
increment in which the collector measures (0.01″ or 0.2 mm). As the
bucket tips, it causes a switch closure and brings the second
tipping bucket chamber into position. The rain water drains out
through the screened drains in the base of the collector.

The collector is designed for years of accurate, trouble-free
service. The shape is aerodynamically designed to minimise rainfall
catch reduction caused by high winds. The body and base of the
collector are constructed of tough, UV resistant plastic; the
tipping bucket pivots on bearings that minimise friction and wear.
Stainless steel adjustment screws under each chamber of the tipping
bucket allow you to fine-tune the calibration of the Rain
Collector.
