SG-050-SS Heated Precipitation Detector

$196.00

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, this device prevents ice build-up, ensuring uninterrupted performance in even the harshest conditions giving you 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.
