Überblick
Die 255-100, hergestellt von Novalynx, bestimmt die Verdunstungsrate indem sie den sich ändernden Wasserstand in einer Verdungstungspfanne misst. Der sensor gibt einen Widerstand aus, den der Datenlogger aufnimmt. Eine 255-200 oder eine andere Verdunstungspfanne der Klasse A des National Weather Service muss als Zubehör gekauft werden.

Technische Beschreibung
The 255-100 consists of a float, pulley, and counterweight attached to a precision 1000-ohm potentiometer mounted through a gear assembly in a weatherproof housing. It has a triangular base plate equipped with three leveling screws and a bubble level. The potentiometer produces a resistance output proportional to the position of the float, which can be monitored on site using a data logger or monitored remotely by telemetry equipment.
The 255-100 can be placed directly in the pan, or connected to the pan using the 255-100P/F stainless-steel pipe and fittings. Instead of using the 255-100P/F, a 1/2-in. polybraid (fiber reinforced) flexible tubing, nylon fittings (1/2-in. NPT x Hose Bar), and small stainless-steel hose clamps can be used; this equipment is available from a local hardware store.

The 255-100 Evaporation Gauge is a potentiometer-type sensor. The 255-100 only draws a few milliamps of power momentarily. If the 255-100 is the only sensor in the system, the datalogger has an average power draw of approximately 1 mA.
