| Measurement Principle | Tipping Bucket Mechanism | Each 0.4mm of accumulated rainfall triggers a single pulse count. |
| Measurement Resolution | 0.4 mm per Pulse | Defines the smallest volume of rainfall that registers a data point. |
| Data Output | Electrical Pulse Count | The total pulse count over a period correlates to the total accumulated rainfall. |
| Power Source | Integrated Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Panel | Provides continuous power recharge for autonomous operation. |
| Communication | GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) | Used for wireless transmission of collected data to a Cloud Server. |
| Data Transmission Protocol | Proprietary/Standardized (e.g., MQTT, HTTP POST) | Specific protocol for data transfer will be defined by the cloud solution. |
| Deployment Environment | Outdoor, All-Weather | Designed for permanent installation in meteorological or agricultural settings. |
| Material | Weather-resistant Plastic (e.g., PVC/ABS) | Based on the visual appearance of the funnel and tubing. |
| Funnel/Collector | Defined Area (A) | The area of the opening is critical for calculating rainfall depth (Volume ÷ Area). |
| Mounting | Pole/Pipe Mount | Utilizes standard piping for structure and stability. |
| Indicative Dimensions | Height and Diameter (Approximate) | Determined. |
| Temperature Measurement | Digital Sensor | Measures ambient temperature (°C). |
| Humidity Measurement | Digital Sensor | Measures ambient relative humidity (% RH). |
