4.5 Barometer (air pressure):
If this window is not visible, please first press the button
1. actual air pressure
2. indicates whether the relative or
absolute (*5)
air pressure is displayed
3. indicates whether the air pressure
is shown in
hPa
(hecto Pascals)
, in
inHg
(inches of mercury)
or in
mmHg
(millimetres of mercury) (*6)
4+5. this shows the trend of the air pressure
over the last 24 hours
*5: An absolute air pressure indicates the air pressure which is present independent from the height on
which you’re measuring the air pressure. A relative air pressure is the air pressure corrected for the
height on which you’re measuring the air pressure. For a correct weather forecast the relative air
pressure is required.
You can set the desired unit as follows:
1. press and hold the button for 2 seconds
2. use / to select your desired unit
3. briefly press the button (if the air pressure now starts flashing, press the button again)
Chapter 8 explains how you can change the relative air pressure display in case you’re using the
weather station on a much higher level than mean sea level.
*6: In the Benelux one uses the hectoPascal notation. Before, the air pressure was sometimes also
expressed in bar; 1 mbar equals 1 hPa.
You may switch between these notations by briefly pressing the button.
4.6 Rain:
