IoT solutions for high-intensity rainfall monitoring
The RainVue™20 is an advanced SDI-12 precipitation sensor with an aluminum funnel for capturing accurate, localized rainfall data. When partnered with the Aspen™10 Internet of Things (IoT) Edge Device for supplementary data and gap filling, you can easily strengthen your monitoring network to provide proactive resource deployment during storm events.
Product
RainVue 20 SDI-12 Precipitation Sensor
The RainVue™️20 is ideal for many hydrological or meteorological applications such as weather stations and flood warning systems. The RainVue 20 is an SDI-12 tipping bucket rain gage in the RainVue family of products. Advanced algorithms and digital processing within the sensor compensate for errors caused by high-intensity rain and provide accurate precipitation and intensity measurements. Constructed of an aerodynamic powder-coated aluminum funnel, the RainVue 20 is robust and minimizes the amount of liquid precipitation that is lost due to the effects of wind. This rain gage offers the user flexibility with the option to select from a series of set cable lengths or a user-defined cable length.
Aspen 10 Edge Device for a Single Sensor
The revolutionary Aspen™10 Internet of Things (IoT) Edge Device allows users to easily connect their environmental sensor to the cloud. It is rugged and durable and may be mounted outdoors without the need for a second enclosure. It has an integrated solar panel and internal rechargeable battery, making the Aspen 10 a truly self-sustaining device.
The Aspen 10 is also small and compact, which makes it easy to install in a variety of locations without disturbing the environment it is monitoring. An integrated IoT cellular modem allows the Aspen 10 to transmit data to the cloud, and a global positioning system (GPS) receiver provides automated installation location.
Setting up the Aspen 10 to read your sensor is quick and easy thanks to a new sensor interface technology that allows automatic identification of any sensor with an SDI-12 identification. The Aspen 10 publishes this ID to the cloud, in return receiving a customized measurement configuration and program for your specific sensor and application. You can then monitor your data from anywhere.
