WWVB ATOMIC TIME SIGNAL

• The station will automatically search for the atomic time signal at UTC 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00.
• The Atomic Time Signal Icon will flash while searching, and be solid when connected.
• Press the SEARCH button anytime, to manually search for the atomic time signal.

PRESSURE HISTORY GRAPH & NUMBER

Read from left to right, the Pressure History Graph indicates the rise and fall in air pressure over the past 24 hours.

• The “0h” indicates the current hour, thus the current air pressure also.

• At every full hour the current air pressure is used as a basis for the display of a new graph bar.

• Air pressure trends can be determined by simply glancing at the bar graph.
  A. If the bars are rising (higher on the right than the left) then the air pressure has a rising trend, and the weather should improve.
  B. If the bars are dropping (lower on the right than the left) then the air pressure has a falling trend, and the weather should worsen.

•  The bar chart will constantly scroll to provide visual interest. This cannot be turned off.

• The Relative Pressure numbers represent the currect Barometric Pressure reading from the pressure sensor inside the weather station.

PRESSURE UNITS (INHG OR HPA)

Inches of Mercury (inHg) is common in the USA.

• Press the PRESSURE button to toggle the pressure reading between Inches of Mercury and Hectopascal.
• The letters, INHG or HPA will show for 3 seconds. Other readings will remain.
• Station will stay on measurement selected.

PROGRAMMABLE PRESSURE NUMBER

• The relative air pressure number is programmable: 23.62 to 32.48 InHg (800 to 1100 hPa).
• If not manually programed, please allow 7-10 days for the station to acclimate to your location. After this time, you should begin to see accurate pressure graph readings automatically displayed on your station’s screen.

Program Pressure Number:

1. Hold the PRESSURE button to set pressure number.
2. PRESSURE will show and Pressure Value will flash.
3. Press the + or – button to adjust the flashing pressure value.
4. Hold the + or – buttons to adjust quickly.
5. Press the PRESSURE button to confirm adjustments and exit.
6. Press the SEARCH button at any time to exit.

WEATHER FORECAST ICONS

• The Weather Forecast Icons are determined by the station’s barometric pressure reading. Please allow 7-10 days for barometric calibration.
• This is your pressure at your stations’ location and may vary slightly from your local reporting station.
• Six forecast icons use changing atmospheric pressure to predict weather conditions for the next 12-hours with 70-75% accuracy.
• When Outdoor temperature is below 32˚F and the forecast is RAIN or T-STORM, the station will display SNOW.

TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY ALERTS

TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY TREND ARROWS

• The UP and DOWN arrows indicate changes in temperature and humidity over the past hour.
• The arrows will update every 15 minutes and compare data from exactly one hour prior.
  Temperature: arrow changes every 2 degrees Fahrenheit.
  Humidity: arrow changes every 3% RH

SENSOR SEARCH

• If you are seeing dashes in place of outdoor temperature, first check your sensor batteries.
• Hold the SENSOR button for 3 seconds to search for the sensor. Sensor Reception icon will flash while searching and be solid when sensor signal is received.
• If you regain connection while the sensor is mounted, great. If you do not regain connection, bring the sensor within 10 feet of the station and search again.

Note:

• If the signal is lost, the RX will display the last data recorded from sensor for 10 minutes.
• After that 10 minutes if the signal does not come back then you will see dashes “–”.
• After 30 minutes, start looking for the sensor signal automatically.

CHANGE BATTERIES

We designed this station for convenience, so that a simple change of batteries does not lose your data or require you to power down your station.
Sensor:

1. When Battery Indicator shows next to the Outdoor Temperature, replace batteries in your Outdoor Sensor.
2.  Then hold the SENSOR button for 3 seconds and your station will search for your sensor.

Station:

1. When Battery Indicator shows next to the Indoor Humidity, change batteries in the station.
2. After replacing the batteries in the station, it will automatically search for the sensor. Press the TX button on the sensor to force a signal transmission. When outdoor temperature readings are received, set time and date.

FACTORY RESTART

A factory restart of the station returns it to default settings, and “out of the box” condition and may resolve connection issues.

1. Be sure there are fresh batteries in the sensor and station.
2. Hold the ALERTS and PRESSURE button together for 5 seconds to restart the station. This will clear all settings and history. Station will automatically search for sensor.

SENSOR WEATHER SHIELD-NOT INCLUDED

The Sensor Weather Shield is designed to protect your outdoor sensor from rain and snow. This shield will offer limited protection from the sun’s heat. Purchase at: http://bit.ly/925-1418
