Heat Index/Dew Point/Mold Risk
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 remote ambient temperature.
Note: Heat index will be the same number as the temperature until the remote 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 remote ambient temperature. The
words “Dew Point” will show near remote temperatures.
Note: Dew Point is lower than the actual temperature.
Mold Risk (Remote and Indoor):
Mold spores occur in both indoor and outdoor environments.
When mold spores drop on places where there is excessive moisture, mold may grow.
Place the remote sensor outdoors to monitor backyard weather conditions, or use it
indoors to monitor high mold risk areas like in a crawl space or a basement.
View Indoor and Remote Mold Risk: From the default time display, press the
HEAT/DEW button three times to view the mold risk indicators for indoor and remote
sensor.
Mounting/Positioning Remote sensor
First: Place the remote sensor in the desired shaded location and the weather station in the
home. Wait approximately 1 hour before permanently mounting the remote sensor to
ensure that there is proper reception.
POSITION
Outdoor:
Protect the remote sensor from standing rain or snow and from the overhead sun, which
can cause it to read incorrectly.
