CS705 Snowfall Adapter
1. Introduction
The CS705 Snowfall Adapter converts a TE525WS Texas Electronics Rain
Gage to a rain and snow gage. It consists of an antifreeze reservoir, overflow
tube, and catch tube. Snow captured in the catch tube dissolves into the
antifreeze raising the overall level. The mixture flows through the overflow
tube into the tipping bucket where it is measured. A slot in the top of the
overflow tube prevents the tube from developing a siphon.
Before installing the CS705, please study
• Section 2, Cautionary Statements
• Section 3, Initial Inspection
• Section 4, Quickstart
2. Cautionary Statements
• The CS705 possesses inherent delays and is not suitable for real-time
precipitation measurements (see Section 5, Overview).
• Since regular maintenance is required, choose a site that is easily
accessible throughout the winter.
• Wear safety glasses and rubber or neoprene gloves while handling and
pouring antifreeze.
• Campbell Scientific strongly recommends using antifreeze consisting of a
1:1 mixture of propylene glycol and ethanol (PGE). Appendix A provides
MSDS information for the PGE antifreeze offered by Campbell Scientific.
• Avoid using the antifreeze commonly used in cars or RVs. This
antifreeze, which consists of propylene glycol or ethylene glycol, increases
the likelihood of ice bridging (see Section 5.1, Antifreeze).
• The antifreeze/snowfall mixture needs to be captured from the tipping
bucket gage and properly disposed of in accordance with local, state, and
federal regulations.
• The CS705 should be removed and cleaned in the summer, and reinstalled
before the winter season.

13. Place the pail below the rain gage and place the other end of the hose in it.
The CS705 is manufactured by Campbell Scientific and is based on the paper
“Measuring Winter Precipitation with an Antifreeze-Based Tipping Bucket
System” presented at the 1996 Western Snow Conference (McCaughey and
Farnes, 1996). The design possesses inherent delays and is not suitable for real
time precipitation measurements. Three design factors contribute to
measurement delays:
• air / antifreeze mixture temperature
• surface tension in the overflow tube
• precipitation form
NOTE
5.1 Antifreeze
All precipitation falling into the catch tube eventually flows through the overflow
tube and is measured by the tipping bucket gage. A delay of minutes is expected
for liquid precipitation so long as a minimum volume of water (≈0.03 inches) is
reached. A delay of several hours (up to tens) is expected for snow. Lightest
density snow at very cold temperatures has the longest delay.
The CS705 converts the TE525WS Texas Electronic Rain Gage, into a yearround precipitation gage. The CS705 is intended for use only during winter.
Like any sensor, optimum performance is obtained by regular site visits. Any
antifreeze-based precipitation gage orifice is susceptible to capping or snow
bridging.
The CS705 is coated with a smooth black coating to minimize
surface adhesion and maximize solar loading, but snow bridging
may still not occur.
Campbell Scientific recommends a 1:1 mixture of propylene glycol and ethanol
(PGE). PGE is available from Campbell Scientific in a package of four, onegallon containers. Antifreeze can only be shipped in multiples of four gallons
via UPS Ground and cannot be shipped outside of the continental United
States.
5.1.1 Standard Car or RV Antifreeze is NOT Recommended
Standard car or RV antifreeze consists of propylene glycol or ethylene glycol,
which have a specific gravity >1. This allows a layer of water to sit on top of
the antifreeze that may freeze and form an ice cap that prevents snowfall from
being dissolved into the solution. Mixing the antifreeze with ethanol solves the
specific gravity issue and prevents the ice cap. PGE is also more
environmentally friendly.

CS705 Snowfall Adapter
5.2 Tipping Bucket Compatibility
The CS705 is equipped with a specially sized cylinder that allows it to nest
within the 8-inch orifice of the TE525WS Texas Electronic Rain Gage. The
CS705 cannot be directly used with TE525, TE525MM, CS700, or TB4 rain
gages. However, the TE525 and TE525MM gages can be converted to a
TE525WS at Campbell Scientific. Refer to the Assistance section at the front
of this manual for the steps required to return equipment to Campbell
Scientific.

Choose a site that is easily accessible throughout the winter.
The CS705 Snowfall Adapter and associated rain gage should be mounted in a
relatively level spot that is representative of the surrounding area. The lip of
the funnel needs to be horizontal and 76 cm (30 in) above the ground or higher
to prevent burial by snow. The ground cover around the gage should be natural
vegetation or gravel. Avoid mounting the gage over concrete or paved
surfaces.
The under catch of winter precipitation by antifreeze-based gages is directly
related to wind speed. Errors due to wind can be minimized by properly siting
the gage. The preferred gage site is in a natural well protected location. To
ensure proper catch, an angle of 30° to 45° from a vertical line drawn through
the center of the gage orifice to the surrounding obstructions should be
maintained. FIGURE 7-1 illustrates the proper siting of a gage.

Gages sited improperly and subjected to high winds will under catch winter
precipitation generating erroneous data. An improperly sited gage subjected to
high winds can be damaged by the wind.
FIGURE 7-1. Proper gage siting
7.2 Mounting Pole
A user-supplied mounting pole or Campbell Scientific CM300-series stainlesssteel mounting pole can be used to mount the CS705 away from the tripod or
tower.
CM300-series poles can be embedded directly into a concrete foundation
(FIGURE 7-2) or used with a pedestal kit. Campbell Scientific offers a j-bolt
pedestal kit, a short-leg (23 in) pedestal kit, and a long-leg (39 in) pedestal kit
(see FIGURE 7-3).

The manual is also available at www.campbellsci.com.
8. Maintenance
The CS705 requires regular site visits. The number of required visits mainly
depends on snowfall. Frequent or heavy snows require more site visits.
During site visits, verify the slot in the top of the overflow tube is free from ice
or debris and remove any debris from the catch orifice. If the slot in the
overflow tube becomes plugged, the overflow tube may create a siphon and
draw down the antifreeze level.

The PGE solution gets diluted as precipitation is captured and mixed. Initially,
the CS705 is charged with a pure antifreeze mixture giving it a 1:0 antifreeze to
water ratio. The ratio increases to 1:1 with the equivalent of six inches of
liquid, 1:2 with eight inches, and 1:3 with nine inches. The 1:1 solution
becomes slushy at a temperature of ≈–35°C, the 1:2 solution becomes slushy at
≈–20°C, and the 1:3 solution at ≈–10°C (McGurk, 1992). Ratios greater than

FIGURE 8-1. Mix ratio versus precipitation received
The TE525WS rain gage is designed to discharge precipitation out its base and
onto the ground. This means the toxicity of any antifreeze solution used in this
application needs to be considered. The PGE antifreeze consists of propylene
glycol and denatured ethanol. Propylene glycol is a non-toxic biodegradable
solution. Denatured ethanol, however, contains toxic additives to discourage
ingestion. These additives are toxic to mammals. Fortunately, because ethanol
evaporates rapidly when exposed to air, the denatured reagent should pose a
limited risk. However, in consultation with the appropriate agency or land
owner, an assessment of risk to animals should be conducted for each site and
appropriate mitigation measures taken.
When recharging, the solution should be disposed of in accordance with local,
state, and federal regulations.
The CS705 is recommended only for use during winter. It should be removed,
cleaned, and carefully stored after the last snowfall, then reinstalled prior to the
first snowfall of the coming winter.
