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 while an alarm is active
and a message stating which alarm is souding will appear at the bottom of the
screen. If you’re on battery power, the alarm will sound for two minute only;
however, the bell icon will continue to blink and the alarm message will stay on
the screen until you clear the alarm or the temperature drops back below the
threshold. If you’re using the AC adapter, the alarm will continue as long as the
condition exists.
The alarm will sound again for each new alarm. If more than one alarm is
active, the description for each active alarm cycles onto the screen every four
seconds. A “+” symbol appears at the end of the alarm text if more than one
alarm is tripped.
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.
To silence a sounding alarm, press the DONE key until the sound stops. See
below to clear an alarm value.
Note:
See Table “Vantage Pro Console Graphs & Alarms” on page 40 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 “Evapo-
Transpiration (ET)” on page 57 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 alarm will sound if the rate of change (in
either direction) exceeds your threshold you set.
• Time
The time alarm is a standard "alarm clock" alarm. It will sound at the time
you’ve set. Make sure you choose am or pm, if you’re in 12-hour mode. It
will sound for one minute.
