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:

Hold the PRESSURE button to set pressure number.
PRESSURE will show and Pressure Value will flash.
Press the + or – button to adjust the flashing pressure value.
Hold the + or – buttons to adjust quickly.
Press the PRESSURE button to confirm adjustments and exit.
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.
