Additional information on the Micro Rain Radar

The Micro Rain Radar is typically installed on a mast or post in a field or on a building or other appropriate structure but alternatively can be supplied with a cylindrical base for putting directly on the ground.

The MRR must be installed with an absolutely vertical orientation with a maximum of one degree of error tolerance for best accuracy.

The MRR can be ground mounted (far left) or mounted on a mast (left) Click to expand pictures in new window

Installation

The Micro Rain Radar is delivered with either a cylindrical base for ground mounting or an adjustable adapter for mast mounting. The adapter is suitable for fixing to a cylindrical mast with a maximum outer diameter of 48 mm - (common to scaffolding tubing). Note a mast is not included in the delivery.

For mast mounted installations the MRR should be secured to a mast or structure so that it will not move (in comparison to the mast).  Ideally the mast should not be more than 2 m in height to minimise any vibration and if fixed to a longer mast we would recommend securing the mast section at a point so that the unsecured section is less than 2 m (by using guy ropes or other means to immobilise the mast).  The affect of vibration on a secure mast up to 2 m high is negligible and will not affect data quality.

The Micro Rain Radar is of a high quality and built to have an extremely long life with little to no maintenance.

Biral and Metek (the manufacturer of the MRR) have a policy to maintain a stock of replaceable items for 5 years from the date that manufacture ceases and there are no plans to cease manufacture in the foreseeable future.

Biral offer free support by telephone, email or fax for the lifetime of our sensors.
