with analogue intensity output
The precipitation sensor serves as measuring instrument for the determination of the instantaneous precipitation intensities (mm precipitation / min.). By integration of the precipitation intensities, the precipitation quantity can be calculated, as well. Control- and warning signals can be derived from the precipitation intensity. The measuring signal output is an intensity-dependent analogue current value. The whole measurement range is divided into 4 linear characteristic segments, which shows a tenth of the slope of the more sensitive segment. Thus, it is possible to represent an intensity range from approx. 0,001mm/min. (light drizzle) up to 10 mm/min. (extremely heavy rain) with reasonable resolution (quasi-logarithmic output).
