PRECICAP® Radar Precipitation Sensor RM60
The RM60 is an innovative radar precipitation sensor for contactless measurement of rain, snow and hail. Unlike conventional rain gauges, the sensor requires no collection funnel, no heating and no maintenance. Thanks to its patented 61 GHz Doppler radar technology, the RM60 measures precipitation directly in the air and provides reliable data even in strong winds and harsh winter conditions.
