Product Introduction
The rain sensor allows to determine the exact time when there is rainfall or snow. Thanks to a special heating system on its surface, water evaporates in a few moments, so is also possible to determine the duration of the event which featured the precipitation. The sensor is equipped with a stainless steel grid gold plated which through a conductivity measurement detects the presence of water on its surface and closes a contact (relay) that can be recorded by a datalogger.
