MetPak RG is supplied complete with a tipping bucket rain gauge adding to those parameters provided by MetPak at a very attractive price, while maintaining the reference quality measurement concept. The rain gauge is included along with the base plate, 6 metres of cable and is calibrated to the MetPak ensuring excellent accuracy and data quality. The design of the MetPak RG allows all measurements to be as accurate as possible without influencing other measured parameters yet provides a complete, compact, reference quality system. The unit is especially suitable for harsh, coastal and fixed  marine platforms where accuracy of the precipitation measurements is paramount  and is supplied with selectable Gill ASCII, NMEA SDI-12 and Modbus outputs.
