onJjJO ~ 2.2 RAIN GAGES MODEL 5054D - SELF-REPORTING RAIN STATION: For automatically reporting rainfall, the Model 5054D is an ideal choice for flood warning systems. As each one millimeter increment of rain is measured by the tipping bucket, a radio message is instantly transmitted to a base station computer. The harder it rains, the harder the 5054D works for you. An increase in the rainfall rate automatically increases its data reporting rate. You are instantly informed about rapidly changing conditions at remote locations. Early detection of potential flash flooding requires this kind of high performance. The 5054D Self-Reporting Rain Station is completely self-contained in a cylindrical standpipe which provides for the sensor enclosure, antenna mount, and electronics housing. The package includes: 5054SA 5040 5050P 5050ANT Standpipe assembly with antenna mast Transmitter with battery Tipping bucket rain sensor Omni antenna with all cables and connectors The 5054D is an integrated station designed to have a minimum environmental impact while providing maximum security for enclosed components. . 5054SA STANDPIPE ASSEMBLY WITH ANTENNA MAST' The twelve foot tall 5054 standpipe assembly consists of a two foot top section and a ten foot bottom section. Light weight aluminum is used for the 12--inch diameter standpipe to form a sturdy housing that is easy to transport and install in remote areas. Forest green or a dull brown paint helps the 5054SA blend in with the surrounding vegetation and terrain. The top section houses the rain collector funnel with its two protective screens and the tipping bucket assembly. The bottom section is used as the support structure, antenna mount, and housing for the 5040 transmitter. . 5054SA Specifications Materials: Aluminum Size: Top Section' 12 in. dia x 2 ft. Bottom Section: 12 in. dia x 10 ft. Input ports, 1 antenna port, standard Protection: Primed and painted Height of gage oriface: 10 ft. above ground Height of antenna: 12 ft. above ground . 5040 " VHF DATA TRANSMITTER: Using state-of-the-art CMOS components, the microprocessor"based 5040 transmits data from remote sites to a central base station. Extremely low current drain (less than 25 microamps in standby mode) and short data transmission times (less than 0.25 seconds per message) eliminate the need for external power sources. For rainfall data transmission, a single four amp..hour battery is sufficient to power the 5040 transmitter for one year.
