Tipping bucket rain gauge installation method

Step 1:Make the cement installation base, the plane on the cement base should be horizontal. The size of the cement installation base is generally 40cmx40cm square base with height not less than 30cm or 40cm diameter round base. Requirements for the instrument's rainfall height from the ground level distance of 70cm, and to ensure that the instrument around the 3 ~ 5 metres within the instrument is not allowed to be higher than the instrument rainfall mouth of the shelter.

Step 2: Installation and fixation of the instrument, adjust the level of the rain mouth, in the cement foundation to play 3 φ12 deep 8 ~ 10cm mounting holes, the expansion bolts will be placed in the mounting holes, with the lock nut locking, and then the instrument base is installed in the 3 elevation of the support nut, through the adjustment of the height of the support nut and the use of a level ruler to measure the ring whether or not the mouth is at the level of the state, and finally the instrument will be fixed with the upper locking step 3: adjustment Tipping bucket bracket level, remove the stainless steel outer cylinder to check and adjust the tipping bucket bracket on the level of the bubble whether the bubble is in the middle position, in the middle position is successfully installed. Maintenance and care of tipping bucket rain gauge

1, this instrument is in the outdoor for a long time, the use of the environment is quite harsh, so the instrument's rain-bearing mouth of the inner wall should be often wiped with a soft cloth to keep the rain-bearing mouth clean, such as the rain-bearing mouth of the leaves and other foreign objects should be cleaned up in a timely manner to keep the waterway open.

2, the instrument is not used for a long time, should be in the instrument ring mouth on the cover to protect the rain mouth; 3, the instrument works for a long time in general to clean up once a month, three months must be cleaned up once; bucket cleaning, bucket is a key component of the instrument, which directly affects the instrument's accuracy of the measurements, over time, the inner wall of the bucket will be a small amount of dust or oil deposits, therefore, should be cleaned bucket. When cleaning, the inner wall of the tipping bucket can be repeatedly rinsed with water or gently brushed with a degreasing brush, it is strictly prohibited to scrub the inner wall of the tipping bucket with hands or other objects.

5, the tipping bucket turning flexibility check, the inspection can be gently upward hand holding the tipping bucket to make it stay in the horizontal position, test whether the tipping bucket can be left and right flexible tipping. If you find that the bucket in the horizontal position can not be free to rotate that the tip of the bucket shaft and gemstone bearings between the possible existence of dirt, at this time in accordance with the method of dismantling the bucket step by step to remove the bucket, clean up the tip of the axle and gemstone bearings in the foreign body and then installed, the problem can be solved.

6, when cleaning the hopper is strictly prohibited in the gem bearing to add lubricating grease or other solutions.

To ensure the safety and stability of the rain gauge installation location, the following measures should be taken:

1. Choose a safe location: Avoid installing in areas prone to natural disasters, such as flood-prone areas and landslide-prone areas. Areas with low risk of natural disasters should be selected.

2. Consider topography and terrain: Choose to install in areas with high and stable terrain, and avoid installations in valleys, riverbanks, and other places that may be impacted by water flow.

3. Stable mounting base: Use a stable material and base to install the rain gauge to ensure that it can resist the effects of wind and other external forces. The base should be buried in the ground or secured with a heavy object.

4. Anti-theft measures: Whenever possible, take anti-theft measures, such as using locks to protect the base or installing it in a monitored area to prevent vandalism.

5. Lightning protection measures: As the rain gauge may be the target of lightning strikes during thunderstorms, consideration should be given to installing lightning protection facilities such as lightning rods or earthing devices.

6. Regular inspection and maintenance: Regular inspection and maintenance of the rain gauge should be carried out to ensure that the installation location is not disturbed by weeds, trees or other obstacles and that the equipment is well secured.

7. Data transmission security: If the rain gauge needs to transmit data remotely, ensure that the data transmission path is secure to prevent data leakage or transmission interruption.

8. Environmental monitoring: Monitor changes in the surrounding environment, such as tree growth, animal activity, etc., and make timely adjustments to the installation location to maintain data accuracy.

By taking these measures, the safety and stability of the rain gauge installation location can be ensured, so as to obtain accurate and reliable precipitation data.
