FT0207 Wireless Weather Station Rain Gauge
The FT0207 is a wireless rain gauge that measures rainfall from 0 to 9999 mm with 0.3 mm resolution below 1000 mm and 1 mm above, transmitting data every 60 seconds over a 433MHz link to a console up to 100m away in open air. It shares the same outdoor sensor family as UCTECH's o
What This Model Is For
The FT0207 is a wireless rain gauge that measures rainfall from 0 to 9999 mm with 0.3 mm resolution below 1000 mm and 1 mm above, transmitting data every 60 seconds over a 433MHz link to a console up to 100m away in open air. It shares the same outdoor sensor family as UCTECH's other wireless weather products, so a brand can start with temperature and humidity and add rain later without redesigning the mount. The sensor runs on four AAA alkaline batteries, with no solar assist, and is designed to be mounted on a standard mast or pole.
- Rainfall volume up to 9999 mm with 0.3 mm resolution below 1000 mm
- 60 second transmission interval keeps rainfall data current without overloading the console
- 100m open area range on 433MHz RF, no gateway or cabling needed
- Matches UCTECH's existing console protocol, so it integrates into an existing product line
- No solar panel means lower cost and simpler battery management
Where It Is Used
- Rooftop and garden weather stations sold under a distributor's own brand
- Vineyard and orchard blocks where irrigation decisions depend on accurate hourly rainfall
- School and visitor centre weather displays needing real-time rain tracking
- Construction sites monitoring rain accumulation on temporary roofs
- Horticultural greenhouses using rainfall data to adjust irrigation schedules
Who It Is For
- Consumer electronics brands adding rain measurement to an existing console
- Distributors replacing a rain gauge that failed after one season
- Agricultural equipment suppliers bundling sensors with irrigation control
- Integrators who need a battery-powered sensor because trenching cable is not an option
Problems It Solves
- Rain gauges that report only daily totals and miss short bursts or hourly patterns
- Sensors that fail due to water ingress or battery drain in high-rainfall areas
- RF links that drop out beyond 30m, requiring a gateway or wired connection
- Inconsistent resolution that underreports light rain or overstates heavy rain
Technical Features
- Measures rainfall from 0 to 9999 mm with 0.3 mm resolution below 1000 mm
- Transmits rain, temperature, and humidity data every 60 seconds over 433MHz
- Outdoor temperature sensing from -40 to +60 degrees C at ±1 degree C accuracy
- Humidity sensing across 10 to 99 percent RH at ±5 percent accuracy
- Console supports up to 8 wireless thermo-hygrometer sensors
- Rainfall history graph and min/max recording for temperature, humidity, and rainfall
- Low power indicator alerts when batteries are low

Materials and Construction
- Moulded plastic housing for the rain gauge body
- Weather sealed battery compartment sized for 4 x AAA cells
- Integrated rain collector with a calibrated tipping bucket mechanism
How It Is Made
Sensor sub-assemblies are populated and soldered on our own assembly line
Tipping bucket mechanism is calibrated before the housing is sealed
Housings are sealed and checked on rainfall and waterproof test equipment
Every unit is ageing tested before it leaves the factory
Quality Control
- Rainfall and waterproof testing on the assembled sensor
- Constant temperature and humidity chamber runs covering the -40 to +60 degrees C claim
- Vibration testing to reproduce mast and transport loading
- Smog ageing to check the housing and seals
- Final ageing test on every unit before packing
Customisation Options
- Own-label printing and retail packaging
- Console pairing to a customer's existing UCTECH-protocol display
- Alternative battery configurations on request
- Manual and quick start guide in the destination language
Compared With the Alternatives
vs Wired rain sensors
No cable run to plan, but battery life is limited to the 4 x AAA cells
vs LoRa-based rain sensors
433MHz is cheaper and sufficient for a single property; LoRa is better for long-range or multi-site monitoring
vs Solar-assisted rain sensors
No solar panel means lower cost and simpler maintenance, but battery replacement is required more often in high-use areas
Use Guide
- Mount the sensor on a level surface, clear of obstructions and overhangs
- Ensure the rain collector is aligned with the vertical axis to avoid wind-induced error
- Replace batteries when the low power indicator activates
- Pair the sensor with the console before mounting it outdoors
- Check the tipping bucket for debris or blockages at the start of each rainy season
FT0207 Wireless Weather Station Rain Gauge Questions
What is the real range between the sensor and the console
100m in open air. Through walls, foliage, and a roof, plan for around 30m, which covers a typical house and garden.
How often does it update
Every 60 seconds, which keeps rainfall data current without overwhelming the console.
Does it have solar power
No. It runs on four AAA alkaline batteries, which are not included.
Can it work with a console we already sell
If that console is on the UCTECH 433MHz protocol, yes. Send us the model and we will confirm before you order.
What is the lead time and minimum order
Tell us the quantity and target ship date and we will confirm both by email. Lead time depends on whether own-label printing and packaging are involved.
Which certifications does it carry
TBC. Ask us for the current certificate set for your destination market before you place the order.
