User Manual

1.0 General Guide

Thank you for purchasing your new ADC. We recommend reading this manual, and practicing the operations before using your ADC in the field.

The ADC is designed to provide you with information essential to your needs. Data such as temperature, wind speed, barometric pressure, altitude and humidity are features specific to four different ADC models: Wind, Summit, Pro and JetSet.

Each ADC model is constructed to withstand water submersion and is ideal for conditions you endure during outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing, hunting, kayaking, skiing, and racing. Every ADC also includes current time, daily alarm, chronograph and race timer functions. ADCs are equipped with a propeller and other precise sensors to measure outdoor conditions.

WARNING !

Make sure that you fully understand the functions and limitations of the ADC before relying on it.

The ADC is an assisting device for the outdoor user, and is not a substitute for

weather advisories from a weather station. It is helpful to check the readings provided by this product periodically with those broadcasted by the weather station.

2.0 Care and Maintenance

Prevent getting dirt in the ADC propeller. It could clog the mechanism.

Avoid exposing this product to extreme heat or extreme cold for an unreasonable amount of time.

Avoid severe impacts to the ADC.

Store the ADC in a dry place when it is not in use.

Clean the ADC with a soft moistened cloth occasionally.

D O N O T e x p o s e t h e A D C t o s t r o n g chemicals such as gasoline and alcohol, as they will damage this product.

What Does the Weather Forecast Symbol indicate

A 'Sunny' symbol generally indicates improving weather or sunny weather ahead.

A 'Partial Cloudy' symbol generally indicates slightly cloudy weather ahead.

A 'Cloudy' symbol generally indicates deteriorating weather or cloudy weather ahead.

A 'Rainy' symbol generally indicates adverse weather or rainy weather ahead.

A 'Stormy' symbol generally indicates stormy weather ahead.

The record also includes the time and date that data was logged.

The ADC can log data automatically or manually. Check the 'Automatic Data Log' section below for more detail on how to log data automatically.

To Log the Data Manually - Manual-Log

To log a data manually, press and hold the [set] button for about 2 seconds in one of the functional modes (Temperature, Wind Speed, Barometer and Altimeter).

When two beeps sounds, the record is logged.

You can log another record at any desirable moment as long as there is sufficient memory.

How Wind Speed is Measured

The ADC is equipped with a propeller that is similar to a traditional aerovane.

When the propeller faces the wind, it rotates and generates signal. This product will pick up the signal and converts it into wind speed.

Before and After Measuring a Wind Speed

Turn the ball-shape propeller by your thumb and index finger until the propeller blades are entirely exposed, and it is not sheltered by the case.

After a wind speed measurement, rotate the propeller to a closed position to prevent dirt from getting into it.

To Measure Wind Speed

Select Wind Speed Mode. Point the blades directly towards the wind direction, and make sure that the blades rotate freely.

When the wind passes through the propeller, the blades rotate. The ADC starts to measure, and shows the current, average and maximum wind-speed readings.

Point the Propeller towards the wind direction

What is Beaufort Scale?

Beaufort Scale is the longest and most widely used set of criteria to describe the wind conditions and its effects on land as well as on sea.

It categorizes the wind speed into 13 force numbers, from 0 (calm) to 12 (hurricane). Check the 'Beaufort Scale Table' section below for more detail on the Beaufort Scale.

Beaufort Scale Bar

For user's convenience, the ADC displays Beaufort Scale for average wind speed.

T h e A D C e x h i b i ts B e a u f o r t S c a l e b y displaying different number of bars on the upper row of the display. One exhibited bar is equivalent to one Beaufort Scale force number. For example, if there are 5 bars on the display, the average wind speed is equivalent to force number 5 of Beaufort Scale.

The ADC displays the Beaufort Scale force number from 0 to 10 (if the average wind speed is higher than force number 10, the ADC will display 10).

To Set the Wind Speed Alarm, and Time Span for Average Wind Speed Calculation

To set the wind speed alarm, press and hold the [mode] button for about 2 seconds to select the setting display (wind speed starts flashing).

When the 'wind speed' is flashing, press the [mode] button to select between time span setting and wind speed alarm setting.

When 'wind speed' is flashing, press the [reset] button to scroll the target wind speed level by 1 step (hold down the button to scroll the setting faster). To select the wind speed alarm between ON and OFF, press the [set] button.

When 'time' is flashing, press the [set] or [reset] button to scroll the target time span for average wind speed calculation by 1 (hold down the button to scroll the setting faster).

Press and hold the [mode] button for about 2 seconds to exit the setting sequence.

The setting display will change to Wind Mode automatically if no key-stoke has been activated for about 1 minute.

Mechanical Compass

Propeller as a Mechanical Compass

The ADC measures ambient temperature, wind speed, and it also tells compass directions.

One of the propeller blades is red-colored to indicate the magnetic north pole.

Four reference points were engraved on the ADC as reference points.

To use the Mechanical Compass

To check bearing of an object, make sure that the propeller cover is opened, and the blades are entirely exposed to air.

Tilt the ADC until the propeller blades are parallel to the horizon, and the propeller blades rotate freely.

The red-colored blade of the propeller will points to the magnetic north pole. Make use of the reference points (marked on the product) to check the direction of the target object.

Temperature Mode Functions

The ADC has the following temperature functions:

1)The Current Temperature: The Current Temperature readings.

2) The Current and Minimum Wind Chill t e m p e r a t u r e : T h e w i n d e f f e c t o n t e m p e r a t u r e . C h e c k t h e ' W i n d C h i l l Temperature' section below for more detail

on Wind Chill Temperature.

3)The Temperature History Graph: The temperature memory for the last 24 hours.

4)The Wind Chill Temperature Alarm: alarm to alert the user when the current Wind Chill Temperature is lower than the predefined limit.

5)The Calibration: The process to calibrate the temperature reading.

6)Manual Data Log: The function to log the sensor functional mode readings that is currently obtained from sensors.

Temperature Display

In Temperature Mode, the display will show the following:

1)The 'TEMP' Indicator and the temperature unit appear on the 1st row of the display.

2)The Current Temperature appears on the 3rd row of the display.

3)The Current and Minimum Wind Chill Temperature appear on the 4th row of the display.

To Change Temperature Unit

The ADC can display temperature in the following units:

1)Degree Celsius ( C)

2)Degree Fahrenheit ( F)

In Temperature Mode, press the [reset] button once to change the temperature unit. See adjacent figure.
