location (about 10’ apart). The sensors should be within 8% (the accuracy is ± 4%). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize.

Verify the indoor and outdoor temperature match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 10’ apart). The sensors should be within 4°F (the accuracy is ± 2°F). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize.

3. RemoteSensorInstallation

It is recommended you mount the remote sensor on a north facing wall, in a shaded area (the sensor can mount to a horizontal or vertical surfac e). Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature readings. Although the sensor is water resistant, it is best to mount in a well protected area, such as an eve.

Use 3 screws to affix the mounting bracket to the wall, as shown in Figure 1. Connect the remote sensor to the wall bracket (it will snap into place).

4.2.1SettingBarometricPressure

To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure to sea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decr eases as you rise in altitude, the sea-l evel corrected pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your measured pressure.

Thus, your absolute pressur e may read 28.62 inHg (969 mb) at an altitude of 1000 feet (305 m), but the relative pressure is 30.00 inHg (1016 mb).

The standard sea-level pressure is 29.92 in Hg (1013 mb). This is the average sea-level pressure around the world. Relative pressure measurements greater than 29.92 inHg (1013 mb) are considered high pressure and relativ e pressure measur ements less than 29.92 inHg ar e considered low pressure.

To determine the relative pressure for your location, locate an official reporting station near you (the internet is the best source for real time barometer conditions, such as Weather.com or Wunderground.com), and set your weather station to match the official reporting station.

To change the r elative pressure when flashing, press the relative pressure setting to match the official reporting station.

4.5OtherConsoleFeatures

The following section describes additional console features.

4.5.1 WeatherForecastingandTendency

Note: The weather forecast or pressure tendency is based on the rate of change of barometric

pressure. In general, when the pr essure increases, the weather improves (sunny to partly cloudy) and when the pressure decreases, the weather degrades (cloudy to rain). For significant decreases in barometric pressure, the storm i con will be displayed. If the temperature is below freezing (32 degF), the snow icon will replace the r ainy or stormy icon.

The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours, and varies from location to location. The tendency is simply a tool for projectin g weather conditions and is never to be relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather.

The weather tendency arrow shows positive (Ï) and negative (Ð) trends in barometric pressure.

4.5.2 WeatherIcons

The six weather icons are Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy, Rainy, Stormy and Snowy, as shown in Figure 3. If there is no significant chan ge in pressure, the forecast icon will not change.

Sunny Partly Cloudy Cloudy Rainy Stormy Snowy

Figure 3

4.5.3 WindIcon

If the air pressure decreases less than -3 mmHg within 3 hours, the wind icon will be displayed, as shown in Figure 4. This rapid decrease in barometric pressure indicates winds are expected.

Figure 4

4.5.4 Pressurethresholdsetting

The pressure threshold (the negative or positive rate of change of pressure signifying a change in the weather) can be adjusted by the user from level 2 to level 4 (default level 2 mbar/hour).

The lower the level pressure threshold setting, the higher sensitivity for weather forecast changes. Locations that experience frequent changes in air pressure require a higher setting compared to locations where the air pressure is typically stagnant.

4.5.5 Stormalertthreshold

The storm threshold (the negative rate of pressure change signifying a storm is expected) can be adjusted by the user fro m level 3 to lev el 5 (the default level 4 mbar/hour).

When negative rate of change of pressure is exceeded for 3 hours, the storm warning indicator will be activated, and the clouds with rain icon and tendency arrows will flash for 3 hours indicating the storm warning feature has been activated.

4.5.6 PressureRateofChangeIndication

The pressure rate of change icon is updated every 10 minutes and provides an indication in short term pressure changes. The icon displays - Æ + if pressure is increasing, and + Æ - if pressure is decreasing. The arrow is not present if there are no pressure changes in the last 10 minutes.

The values indicated are based on the changes in pressure (mbar) per 10 minutes.
