Animated Color Forecast Icons
Animated forecast icons use changing atmospheric pressure to predict weather
conditions for the next 12-hours with 70-75% accuracy.
INTELLIGENT WEATHER FORECAST
This station learns; please allow 3 to 4 weeks for barometric calibration. This will ensure
an accurate personal forecast for your location.
The forecast station samples the barometric pressure every twelve minutes.
These samples are averaged hourly and daily then stored in nonvolatile memory.
The three hour pressure icon change is based off of the last four average hourly
readings.
IMPORTANT:
As the forecast station builds memory, it will compare the current average
pressure to the past forty day average pressure for increased accuracy. The longer the
forecast station operates in one location, the more accurate the forecast icons will be.
Outdoor Sensor Positioning and Use

eave or deck rail is preferred.
The maximum wireless transmission range to the forecast station is over 300 feet (91
meters) in open air, not including walls or floors.
