SG-050-SS Heated Precipitation Detector

$201.88

SG-050-SS Heated Precipitation Detector 

The Apogee Instruments Heated Precipitation Detector is a premium sensor designed to detect precipitation in many forms (rain, snow, sleet, and freezing rain) with pinpoint accuracy. Equipped with a built-in heating element that prevents ice build-up, you can have confidence in your data, knowing the detector's performance will be uninterrupted in even the harshest conditions. This device allows you to have confidence in your data. When used along side the SG-4XX: Weighting Precipitation Gauge, the SG-050-SS can provide verification of small precipitation events. 

Key Features:

  • Accurate Precipitation Detection: The Heated Precipitation Detector identifies precipitation events for solid and liquid precipitation with precise timing.

  • Built-In Heating Element: Designed for extreme weather, the integrated heater prevents snow and ice from accumulating on the sensor, ensuring reliable operation even in freezing temperatures.

  • Weather-Resistant Design: Crafted from durable, weatherproof materials, this device is built to endure tough outdoor environments, from intense heat to icy winter conditions.

  • Easy Installation: Quick and simple to install using the female 10/32 threaded insert on the bottom of the detector or use the AM-261: Complete Detector Mounting Assembly for seamless weather station integration.

Applications:

Ideal for commercial, government, and research applications.
