Product description: Industrial optical rain sensor RG-15 - Seeedstudio 114992321
TheRG-15industrial opticalrainsensor allows for accurate measurement of rainfall intensity and volume. It makes measurements with an accuracy of 10%. Poweredfrom 5 V to 15 V. It communicates through anRS232 3.3 V interface. It has an NPN output type open collector 100 mA / max. 80 V.
Rain sensor RG-15.
The sensor can be used in systems that require information about the nearest rainfall and its intensity. It can be useful in agriculture, monitoring of hydrological networks, food supply and many other industries.Farmers can make reasonable decisions about the timing and amount of irrigation.
