The TFA Dostmann Analog Rain Gauge operates automatically. As rain falls, it collects in the measuring cylinder, and the red float rises with the water level. The scale on the side of the cylinder indicates the amount of precipitation in millimeters (mm) or liters per square meter (L/m²).
Reading the Rain Gauge:
- Observe the position of the red float against the black scale.
- The top edge of the red float indicates the current precipitation level.
- Read the value directly from the scale.
- For accurate daily or weekly measurements, empty the gauge after each reading or at regular intervals.
