TE525 Tipping Bucket Rain Gage
• The mounting pipe must be vertical. Use a torpedo level to stand it as
vertical as possible.
• Take the funnel off of the top of the bucket and look inside toward the
bottom of the bucket — notice the bubble level. Center the bubble level
while mounting the bucket to the pipe. Replace the funnel and seat it
completely when the installation is complete.
7.4 Mounting
The TE525 includes hose clamps to mount the gage to a 1- to 2-inch pipe. As
an alternative for added stability and for better leveling capabilities, the CM270
leveling base could be used instead (FIGURE 7-3). This leveling base is
included with the CM705 Snowfall Adapter but can also be purchased
separately.
CM300-series mounting poles provide a stainless steel 1.5 IPS vertical pole for
mounting the TE525 rain gage. See FIGURE 7-1 for multiple base options.
Model Pole Length
CM300 58 cm (23 in)
CM305 119 cm (47 in)
CM310 142 cm (53 in)
FIGURE 7-1. Mounting pole base options
Mount the gage with its lip at least 5 cm (2 in) above the post or pole (FIGURE
7-2). Level the rain gage after mounting it.
