Transforming the way we measure Rain, Snow, Drizzle and Hail!
Greetings!
All New PreciBal Total Precipitation Gauge
The PreciBal 'weighing' gauge is an innovative, all weather, total precipitation gauge 
for measuring liquid, solid and mixed precipitation within a wide temperature range. 

With the PreciBal , HyQuest Solutions launches a cost-efficient precipitation gauge using the highly accurate weighing principle. Determining mass instead of volume significantly increases the accuracy of the measurement. Furthermore, due to advanced algorithms, the weighing rain gauge measures the water equivalent of all forms of precipitation: rain, snow, drizzle and hail.
Conforming to strict requirements of WMO
The PreciBal excels with proven, state of the art technology, durable material and algorithm-based data processing. Conforming to the most stringent requirements of the WMO , the instrument is well suited for a variety of applications including Classical Meteorology and Climatology, Hydrometeorology, Environmental, Hydrological and Air Quality Monitoring.

Benefits
  • High accuracy in all weather conditions 
  • Measurement of liquid, mixed and solid precipitation quantity and intensity 
  • Load cell technology, edge computing and low power consumption
  • Easy maintenance and extended service intervals
  • Various output options: interference free digital SDI-12 or RS-485, pulse

Innovations in Meteorology
Load cell technology: All water is collected and weighed – independent of the phase of the precipitation: icy particles, snowflakes and rain are all accounted for. No water is missed, all water is weighed and compensated for various external influences.

Algorithm-based data enhancement : PreciBal achieves very high levels of accuracy due to an intelligent coupling of the load cell and electronics, and by means of correcting the data to eliminate the influence of wind vibration, particles, unrealistic weight variations, evaporation, and temperature fluctuation.

SDI-12 and RS-485 communication:
Sophisticated firmware processes all information/signals so that measurements are transmitted interference-free via SDI-12 and RS-485 to the data logger. This processing ensures best performance and highest accuracy even in the most adverse weather conditions. The processing requires little power and the energy-free emptying process reduces the power consumption of the PreciBal to very low levels. In addition, a pulse output makes PreciBal compatible with older logger generations

Advanced Technology
With PreciBal, HyQuest Solutions completes its line of state-of-the art pluviometry products making the most advanced technology available at a fair price. We are thrilled to make this much anticipated instrument available here in the USA.
