Heated TB3 Tipping Bucket

Heated Tipping Bucket Raingauge

Model TBH/TBH-LP
The Hydrological Services Tipping Bucket Heater has been designed for use with the Hydrological ServicesTipping Bucket Raingauges. The device is a thermostatically controlled heating element that raises the temperature of the interior of the raingauge, funnel and catch to avoid the freezing of the gauge in cold climates with subsequent loss of precipitation records.

There are two models available: The TB3-H for sites with access to mains power and the TB3H-LP (low power) for remote location applications.

The TB Heater is supplied ready to be installed with no settings required. The TB Heater incorporates an SDI-12 interface that allows the operator to configure, monitor and manually control the TB Heater – depending on the system requirements. (It is no tmandatory to use the SDI-12 interface – but only optional if more detailed information or control isrequired.) The SDI-12 interface is optically isolated from the control electronics, because the control electronics may be operated from AC and therefore has separate earthing. The SDI-12 interface requires aseparate 12V DC power source.
