The Vantage Pro features more than 30 alarms that can be programmed to
sound whenever a reading exceeds a set value. With the exception of baromet-
ric pressure and time, all alarms sound when a reading reaches the alarm
threshold. For example, if the high outside temperature alarm threshold is set
at 65 ºF, the alarm will sound when the temperature rises to 65.0 ºF.
In addition, the alarm bell icon will blink repeatedly. If you are using an AC
power adapter with your console, the alarm will continue to ring until you
clear the alarm or until the temperature again drops below the threshold. If you
are running on battery power, the alarm will beep for XX minutes only; how-
ever, the bell icon will continue to blink until you clear the alarm or the temper-
ature drops below the threshold.
Low alarms work the same way. For example. if the wind chill threshold is set
for 30 ºF, the alarm begins sounding when the temperature drops to 30.0 º and
will continue flashing until the temperature again rises above 30.0º.
Note:
See Table “Vantage Pro Console Graphs & Alarms” on page 37 for a listing of the Vantage Pro Con-
sole’s alarms.
Three special alarms
ETo (Evapotranspiration)
ETo is updated only once an hour, on the hour. If during a given hour the ETo
Value exceeds the alarm threshold, the ETo alarm sounds at the end of that
hour. This is true for daily, monthly, and yearly ETo alarms. You must have the
optional Solar Radiation Sensor to use this alarm. See “EvapoTranspiration
(ET)” on page 54 for a description of this variable.
Barometric Pressure
The Vantage Pro allows you to set two barometric pressure alarms: a “rise”
alarm and a “fall” alarm. You may select any rate of change per hour between
0.00 and 0.99 Hg; the Vantage Pro’s alarm will sound if the rate of change (in
either direction) exceeds your threshold.
Time
The time alarm is a standard "alarm clock" type of alarm. It will sound for one
minute.
