Precipitation measuring technology
Electrical devices – Precipitation Transmitter, Laser Precipitation Monitor, 3D Stereo Disdrometer, Rain Monitor etc.
For the electronic data acquisition Thies Clima company provides sensors which acquire the precipitation mechanically, optically, in capacitive way and by means of radar. Basing on the different aggregate states and the measuring task to be met, each measuring principle finds its application. From simple awning control to the scientific acquisition of precipitation particles – the Thies Clima precipitation sensors are covering the complete product spectrum of precipitation measurement.

Precipitation Analyzer
5.4107.xx.xxxPrecipitation Analyzer
5.4107.xx.xxx
The Precipitation Analyzer can be used to reliably detect supercooled precipitation and reliably assess the associated freezing situation.
The following precipitation types are measured:
• Freezing drizzle (FZDZ)
• Freezing rain (FZRA)
• Subcooled water on the sensor
• Ice
• Spray
• Rain
• Sleet
3D Stereo Disdrometer
5.4120.xx.xxx3D Stereo Disdrometer
5.4120.xx.xxx
The 3D Stereo Disdrometer measures all kinds of particles such as drizzle, rain, snow, hail and mixed precipitation. Furthermore, it is also able to identify non-hydrometeors. Due to its three-dimensional particle detection ability, it will show a reduced error under windy conditions.
The acquisition comprises the types of precipitation, intensity, and size-speed-distribution. All measuring values are available for the user via Ethernet, RS485 interface and files on SD card.
The camera module housing is equipped with an integrated heating. Instruments are equipped with the temperature sensor. In addition, the "optional measuring channels” will be able to connect relative humidity, wind speed, and wind direction sensors. These values will also be available via the RS485 interface and Ethernet connection.
For sites with rough climates, a version with "extended heating" is also available.
The instrument is especially suited for application in the fields of:
• Meteorology
• Climatology
• Regenerative energy, wind power plants
• Traffic engineering, aviation, and navigation
• Hydrology
