Problem
Solution
Select the absolute pressure. Make sure you properly
calibrate the sensor to an official local weather station.
Reference Section 5.1.4 for details.
The barometer is only accurate to ± 0.08 inHg within the
following relative pressure range: 27.13 to 32.50 inHg,
which corresponds to an altitude of -2,200 to 2,700 feet.
At higher altitudes, expect some non-linearity or error.
Rain gauge reports rain when it is not
raining
An unstable mounting solution (sway in the mounting
pole) may result in the tipping bucket incorrectly
incrementing rainfall. Make sure you have a stable
mounting solution. Move the rain gauge from the pole
mount to a flat, stable mount (fixed, flat structure).
Barometer graph flashes. Can I turn this
off?
No, this feature prevents burn in of the display monitor.
Wind speed appears low
Average wind speed may have the appearance of low
wind. Try switching the display to wind gust.
Can the lamp be turned on all of time?
No, to prevent the bulb from burning out, it can only turn
on temporarily.
The forecast icon is not accurate
The weather station console must run for several days to
trend barometric pressure.
The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of
weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours, and varies
from location to location. The tendency is simply a tool
for projecting weather conditions and is never to be
relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather.
