hours, -9 hours, -6 hours, -3 hours and 0 hours.
The 0h on the horizontal axis indicates the
current hour
, thus the
current air pressure. Each bar on the bar graph represents a value of
0.03 hPa, and each bar also has a corresponding value on the vertical
axis. The vertical axis is set in hPa; the '0' on the axis represents the
current hPa and how high or low the past air pressure was as
compared to the current pressure.
DETERMINE AIR PRESSURE TRENDS:
If the bars are rising (higher
on the right than the left), then the air pressure has a rising trend, and
the weather should improve. If the bars are dropping (lower on the
right side that the left), then the air pressure has a falling trend and the
weather should worsen.
Note:
The bar chart will constantly scroll to avoid burnout of the LCD.
This feature cannot be turned off.
WEATHER FORECAST ICONS
The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate. The
weather forecast is based solely upon the change of air pressure over
time. The icons are predicting 6-12 hours in the future. It may be sunny
out your window, but the pressure is falling so the forecast station will
show clouds with rain icon.
WEATHER ICONS
There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed in the LCD
:
Sunny:
Indicates that the weather is expected to improve (not that the
weather will be sunny).
Sun with Clouds:
Indicates that the weather is expected to be fair (not
that the weather will be sunny with clouds).
Clouds with Rain:
Indicates that the weather is expected to get worse
(not that the weather will be rainy).
The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air
pressure. If the symbols do not change then the weather has not
changed, or the change has been slow and gradual.
FORECAST TENDENCY INDICATOR
There are 2 weather tendency arrows, one that points up and one that
points down. These arrows reflect current changes in the air pressure.
Up Arrow:
Indicates that the air pressure is increasing and the
weather is expected to improve or remain good
Down Arrow:
Indicates that the air pressure is decreasing and the
weather is expected to become worse or remain poor
No Arrow:
Indicates the pressure is stable
SETUP WITH MULTIPLE TRANSMITTERS
The wireless forecast station will accommodate up to three remote
outdoor transmitters (TX29UDTH-IT). The SNOOZE/CH button allows
you to easily see the temperature in various locations: outdoors, baby’s
room, greenhouse, basement, etc.
1. Insert 2 new AA batteries (not included) in the first outdoor
transmitter.
2. Insert 2 new C batteries (not included) into the back of the forecast
station. The forecast station will light up and show, indoor
temperature, humidity and pressure.
3. When the reading appears in the outdoor temperature area, move to
the second transmitter.
4. Insert 2 new AA batteries in the second outdoor transmitter. In a
short time, the outdoor temperature area should show a temperature
reading on channel 1 and on channel 2.
5. When the readings appear in the outdoor temperature area (channel
2), move to the third transmitter.
6. Insert 2 new AA batteries in the third outdoor transmitter.
7. When the respective temperature & humidity for each of the
selected channels (1, 2, or 3) will appear on the main unit. Allow the
transmitters and wireless forecast station to sit near each other for
15 minutes to lock in the signals.
Press and release the SNOOZE/CH button to view channel 1, 2 or 3
on the forecast station when multiple transmitters are used.
Note:
You cannot change channels if only one transmitter is
connected.

POSITIONING THE WIRELESS FORECAST STATION
Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor data can be
received from the desired locations. The Forecast Station should
be mounted near an exterior wall with the front or back facing
toward Ft. Collins, Colorado for best WWVB reception.
FOLDOUT TABLE STANDS:
Simply unfold the stands on the
back, and place the forecast station in an appropriate location.
TO WALL MOUNT:
Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired
wall, leaving the head extended out by about 0.2” (5mm).
Place the wireless forecast station onto the screw, using the
hanging hole on the backside. Gently pull the wireless forecast
station down to lock the screw.
