Q Can i display the absolute pressure instead of the pressure
at sea level?
A Yes. Simply calibrate the instrument by reducing the pressure by
3.3mb for every 100 feet you are above sea level.
Q Can I connect a Clipper wind speed instrument to the Meteoman
instead of the NMEA wind sensor?
A Yes. Modern Clipper wind speed instruments have an NMEA output
which can be connected directly to the Meteoman to give wind speed
and direction. The Clipper wind does not have a temperature sensor
so the Meteoman will display the internal temperature.
Q What are the connections to the DIN connector socket on the
Meteoman?
A Rear view of socket
Negative
Power to
masthead unit
NMEA
input
Q Why does the voltmeter read slightly different than my main
voltmeter?
A The Meteoman reads the voltage at the unterminated end of the
power supply cable. A slight voltage difference is due to the volt
drop in the wiring.
Q Can I use the pressure trend to predict future weather patterns?
A Yes. There is extensive literature available showing the
relationship between pressure trend and imminent conditions.
