ZKGD5000-R Automatic Rainfall Monitoring System
Product Introduction
The ZKGD5000-R Automatic Rainfall Monitoring System is a high-precision automatic rainfall measurement and monitoring solution independently developed by Beijing Zhongke Guangda Automation Technology Co., Ltd. The system integrates a precision rainfall sensor and automatic data collector with functions including rainfall data acquisition, data processing, information query, precipitation chart generation, and alarm notification.
Designed for meteorology, flood control, agriculture, water conservancy and hydrology, environmental protection, highways, airports, and ports, the ZKGD5000-R automatic rain gauge provides continuous and unattended rainfall monitoring for fixed and remote field stations.

Key Features
• Fully automatic operation: Maintenance-free design enables long-term unattended operation in outdoor environments.
• Integrated design: The rainfall sensor and automatic data collector can be installed inside the same standard rain gauge housing, allowing convenient replacement of conventional rain gauges.
• High-resolution rainfall measurement: 0.01 mm resolution provides excellent sensitivity for measuring light rain and drizzle.
• Wide rainfall intensity range: Measures rainfall intensity from 0.1 to 9 mm/min, exceeding the stated 0.1–4 mm/min standard range.
• High measurement accuracy: Rainfall measurement error is less than ±2%, lower than the stated ±4% standard requirement.
• Accurate manual comparison: Provides highly consistent results when compared with manual rainfall measurements.
• Low maintenance: Requires substantially less routine maintenance than conventional tipping-bucket rain gauges.
• Flexible communication: Built-in RS232, RS485, GSM, and GPRS communication interfaces facilitate remote data transmission and system networking.
• High reliability: Supports stable, long-term continuous operation.
• Durable stainless-steel housing: Robust construction provides reliable operation under demanding outdoor conditions.
• Low power consumption: Static operating current is less than 1 mA, making the system suitable for remote and solar-powered monitoring stations.

Working Principle
The ZKGD5000-R automatic rainfall monitoring system uses a precision rainfall sensor to detect precipitation entering the rain collector. The rainfall information is converted into an electrical signal and processed by the integrated automatic data acquisition unit.
The system automatically collects and processes rainfall data and supports data queries, precipitation chart generation, and alarm notifications. Depending on the monitoring configuration, data can be transmitted through RS232, RS485, GSM, or GPRS to a remote monitoring center.
The integrated sensor and data acquisition design allows continuous rainfall measurement with minimal human intervention, making the system suitable for long-term unattended field deployment.
