5. Display Console
Using the Console
The Display Console receives information wirelessly from the outdoor Rain Gauge and
the CM7 Sensor, as well as measuring indoor temperature and humidity information
using sensors located within the console itself. Once the Rain Gauge and any CM7
Sensors are operational and positioned suitably, it’s worth taking some time to
familiarise yourself with the console’s key features and ensure it is set up as desired.
Most importantly, you’ll need to configure the console using the Setup Menu, which
should only take 5-10 minutes to complete.
The Display Console has a total of five keys used to navigate and use its various functions
– four underneath the screen:
HISTORY
,
SET, ALARM, CHANNEL
, and one on the top of
the console:
SNOOZE/LIGHT
. The
HISTORY
and
CHANNEL
keys also double as
and
respectively when adjusting numeric values such as date and time, illustrated by the
symbols beneath these keys.
The
HISTORY
,
SET
,
ALARM
and
CHANNEL
keys are used to access and set various
features of the display console, whereas the
SNOOZE/LIGHT
key is used to silence any
alarms or simply turn the backlight on. Pressing the
SNOOZE/LIGHT
key once will turn
the backlight on for a period of 5 seconds.
Extended Backlight
You can also hold the
SNOOZE/LIGHT
key down for 3 seconds, until LED ON is shown
briefly on the Time and Date section of the console. This will cause the backlight to
stay illuminated for up to 30 minutes, or until it’s turned off manually by pushing and
holding the key again (you should see LED OFF shown in the same place). If your console
is plugged into mains power using an adaptor, this backlight will stay on until manually
turned off again.
