MIN/MAX Temperature readings
Explanation:
The weather station shows the daily minimum and maximum temperatures
each day starting at midnight (12:00 AM). The weather station automatically resets the
MIN/MAX temperatures at midnight (12:00 AM).
View MAX data:
Press the
▲
button once to view maximum temperature and humidity
values for indoor and outdoor data.
Reset MAX data:
Hold the
▲
button for five seconds to reset maximum temperature
and humidity values for indoor and outdoor data.
View MIN data:
Press the
▼
button once to view minimum temperature and humidity
values for indoor or outdoor data.
Reset MIN data:
Hold the
▼
button for five seconds to reset minimum temperature
and humidity values for indoor and outdoor data.
Heat Index/Dew Point
Heat Index:
Heat Index combines the effects of heat and humidity.
Heat Index is what the temperature feels to a human being.
As humidity increases, the body is unable to cool effectively.
The temperature will feel warmer.
View Heat Index:
From the default time display, press the HEAT/DEW button once and
Heat Index will show instead of the outdoor ambient temperature.
Note:
Heat index will be the same number as the temperature until the outdoor
temperature is above 26.7°C (80°F).
Dew Point Temperature:
Dew Point Temperature is the saturation point of the air, or the temperature to which
the air has to cool in order to create condensation.
The higher the dew points, the higher the moisture content of the air at a given
temperature.
View Dew Point Temperature:
From the default time display, press the HEAT/DEW
button twice and Dew Point will show instead of the outdoor ambient temperature. The
words “Dew Point” will show near outdoor temperatures.
Note:
Dew Point is lower than the actual temperature.
Mounting/Positioning Outdoor sensor
First:
Place the outdoor sensor in the desired shaded location and the weather station in
the home. Wait approximately 1 hour before permanently mounting the outdoor sensor to
ensure that there is proper reception.
POSITION
Outdoor:
Protect the outdoor sensor from standing rain or snow and from the overhead sun,
which can cause it to read incorrectly.
Mounting under an eave or deck rail works well.
If you choose, you can construct a small roof or box for the outdoor sensor. Be sure a
box has vents.
Mount the outdoor sensor on the North side where to prevent sun from causing incorrect
readings.
Mount at least 6 feet in the air for a strong RF (radio frequency) signal.
Do not mount the outdoor sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective
