The paper describes an automatic telemetering raingauge system designed and constructed in the Instruments Division, Meteorological Office, Pune. A novel feature of the present system design is that the mode of the rainfall data broadcasts from the field station can be pre-selected by a switch provided for the purpose in the field end system.
The system is designed to be modular to facilitate any rare fault location and quick servicing in the field. It uses two standard crystal controlled transmitters. The system can operate in 100 per cent humid environment, since the field unit electronics package and power supply are completely enclosed in a weather proof housing. The complete field unit is light. rugged and easily transportable in a jeep trailer.
