Wireless Rain Gauge – High-dynamic range up to 600 mm/h : MeteoRain IoT Compact | BARANI DESIGN

The MeteoRain IoT Compact is a wireless, automatic rain gauge designed for high-precision precipitation measurement in agriculture, hydrology, meteorology, industrial monitoring, coastal environments, smart-city networks and professional weather stations. According to the manufacturer’s documentation, it records both cumulative rainfall and real-time rain rate with a self-balancing measuring mechanism that ensures high repeatability and accuracy even at intense precipitation levels.

Its rugged, impact-resistant construction, combined with solar-powered autonomous operation, makes it ideal for long-term, low-maintenance deployments in demanding outdoor environments.

Advantages :

• Solar-powered autonomy with more than four months of operation without sunlight.
• Robust and impact-resistant funnel and housing suitable for harsh environmental exposure.
• Self-balancing and self-emptying tipping bucket mechanism for uninterrupted measurement.
• High resistance to soiling, mechanical friction, debris and residual water buildup.
• High-speed self-emptying mechanism (0.13 s) for accurate high-intensity rainfall tracking.
• Certified performance up to 600 mm/hr and capable of measuring up to 2000 mm/hr.
• Easy maintenance with removable funnel sieve for quick cleaning.
• Stable long-term accuracy with individually tested and calibrated electronics.
• Wireless operation via Sigfox or LoRaWAN for IoT-ready integration.
• Minimized impact of non-level mounting thanks to self-balancing design.

Key Features :

• Measures precipitation amount, rain intensity and frost warnings on the rain gauge.
• Liquid precipitation type with field performance accuracy of ±2% (±1% calibrated) and high repeatability.
• Resolution options of 0.1, 0.2 or 0.25 mm per tip.
• Operating range from -33 °C to +80 °C depending on battery limitations.
• Starting threshold of approximately +0.07 mm of liquid precipitation.
• Rain orifice area of 200 cm² (159.6 mm diameter) with low-profile funnel design.
• Weather-resistant electronics protected against salt spray, water, frost and heat.
• Lithium-ion battery with an expected service life exceeding 10 years.
• Shock resistance of 15 g for robust field durability.
• Multiple mounting options supported by strong stainless-steel mounting hardware.

Typical Applications :

• Agriculture and irrigation monitoring.
