Tipping Bucket (Total Accumulation)
Wiring
A tipping bucket rain gauge should be connected with one lead to digital ground and the other
to digital input 1, 2, 3, or 4. It does not matter which lead connects to ground and which
connects to the input.
Measurement Setup
Note this setup will never reset the rain, it is a total accumulation.

Tipping Bucket (Hourly and Daily Rain)
Wiring
A tipping bucket rain gauge should be connected with one lead to digital ground and the other
to digital input 1, 2, 3, or 4. It does not matter which lead connects to ground and which
connects to the input.
Measurement Setup
Note this setup will record hourly and daily rain, it does this by resetting the count every hour
and accumulating those hourly readings every day. Setting the daily rain to use a "reference"
ensures the hourly rain measurement has completed before using the value. Also take note,
since the readings in the hourly are already scaled from counts to engineering units, the daily
accumulation does not need to do any more scaling.
