The HyQuest Solutions Pulse Extender is used to interface a Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge, which has a 100mS contact closure, to a device that cannot measure pulses that narrow, such as an RTU. The TBRG pulses are debounced and accumulated, and then output at a slower rate that the RTU can monitor.The Pulse Extender can be powered by a single 3.6V lithium battery for a year, or it can be powered from an external 12V supply.
