HD 2013-DB Precipitation Measurement and Record Transmitter

Technical Description

Device type / operating principle

  • The HD2013-DB is a rainfall data logger and indicator designed to read and store pulses generated by a tipping bucket rain gauge.

  • An LCD display allows real-time monitoring of rainfall amounts over different time intervals.

  • It counts reed contact signals from the rain gauge and records them in memory for later analysis.

Main Technical Features

  • Memory capacity: Stores up to 32,255 pulses.

  • Power supply: Long-life lithium battery (BAT-2013DB).

  • Connector: M12, 8-pole RS-232C serial port.

  • Compatibility: Works with rain gauges having NC (normally closed) or NO (normally open) contacts.

  • Display: LCD screen shows rainfall in real time or in preset periods.

  • Construction & protection: Waterproof housing; use of reed relays reduces water ingress risk.

  • Operation: Counts pulses from the tipping bucket gauge; can apply automatic corrections based on rainfall rate.

  • Software support: Parameters can be configured, data downloaded, and real-time monitoring performed via HD32MTLogger software.

Installation & Maintenance

  • Install in an open area, away from obstacles.

  • Connect to a PC via the RS-232 serial port for configuration and data transfer.

  • Periodically check battery status and connector condition.

Applications

  • Meteorological stations

  • Hydrology and water resource monitoring

  • Agriculture and irrigation planning

  • Environmental monitoring projects

  • Academic and research activities

  • Local climate and microclimate analysis

  • Urban drainage and stormwater management systems
