The T-200 precipitation gauge was developed more than 25 years ago for all weather precipitation monitoring. It was designed in cooperation with the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute.  Precipitation can be reported in real-time at any interval to calculate the intensity. The precipitation gauge is simple to configure for use with automatic data acquisition systems with the option of a 0-5 V or SDI-12 output. The original T-200B has a 600 mm (24 in) capacity and incorporated one vibrating wire sensor.  Geonor now offers 1000 mm (40 in) & 1500 mm (60 in) capacity gauges and the ability to incorporate three sensors as an option. The gauge has a protective housing with a WMO standard 200 cm2 inlet.  The amount of precipitation is measured by using vibrating wire load sensors. The instrument as well as a wind shield is mounted to the pedestal. With the use of antifreeze any solid precipitation is melted in the container. No electrical heating is therefore required, thus eliminating a common source of error. A thin layer of oil is added to impede any evaporation.
