LOW BA TTER Y W ARNING
When it is time to replace batteries for the remote
sensor , the respective low-battery indicator [ ]
will show up on the indoor or outdoor temperature &
hygrometer display .
h) W eather forecast
The unit is capable of detecting atmospheric pressure
changes. Based on collected data, it can predict the
weather for the forthcoming 12 to 24 hours.
NOTE:
1. The accuracy of a general pressure-based weather
forecast is about 70%.
2. The weather forecast may not reflect the current
situation necessarily .
3. The “Sunny” icon implies clear weather at night.

and each one displays a different information.
When the display is in one of the 4 modes which can be
operated, its corresponding icon will start flashing. To
navigate between these 4 modes, press “+” or “-” to
cycle through them.
The Heat index section is a fixed mode. It cannot be
navigated into this section.
4. PRESSUR E AND WEA THER FORE CAST MODE
Important: All operations described in here are to be
made in the W eather mode
This part of the display indicates the current pressure,
sea level pressure, weather forecast and pressure trend.
A number of historical statistics can also be viewed,
such as the sea-level pressure values for the last 24
hours, as well as a pressure/ temperature/ humidity
history bar-chart.
Pressure values may be displayed inHg, hPa/mBar or
mmHg, and altitude values may be displayed in meters
or feet.
a) Accessing Pressure and W eather Forecast Mode
From the main console unit: Press “+” or “-” until the

either button for fast advance. Press SET to confirm
your selection.
4. Upon completion the display will be returned to
Pressure and W eather Forecast Mode.
e) Setting the Pressure and Altitude Units
1. In Pressure and W eather Forecast Mode, press SET
until local pressure is displayed.
2. Press and hold MEM . The pressure unit starts
flashing.
3. Set Local Pressure Units: Press “+” or “-” to adjust.
Press MEM to confirm your selection.
4. In Pressure and W eather Forecast Mode, press SET
until Sea-Level Pressure is displayed.
5. Press and hold MEM . The pressure unit starts
flashing.
6. Set Sea-Level Pressure Units: Press “+” or “-” to
adjust. Press MEM to confirm your selection.
7. In Pressure and W eather Forecast Mode, press SET
until the set altitude is displayed.
8. Press and hold MEM . The altitude unit starts
flashing.
9. Set Altitude Units: Press “+” or “-” to adjust (feet
or meter). Press MEM to confirm your selection.
"Storm" is meaning a dramatic pressure drop with the
potential of a storm. An acoustic warning for this
situation can be activated or deactivated in the
following way:
Press ALARM/CHART in Pressure and W eather
Forecast Mode. Then press ALARM/CHART to turn
ON or OFF the storm alert function. It will return to
pressure display automatically after 5s.
• W eather Alarm
The weather alarm sound will be activated when it is
change to heavy rainy , heavy snow and storm.
- Lower T emperature Alert (displays OFF if
deactivated): icon displayed
When the above alerts are displayed, pressing “+” or
“-” will activate/deactivate the corresponding alert.
• T emperature Alarm
The temperature alarm will sound when the temperature
is out of the pre-set range.
h) Resetting the Max/Min Channel T emperatur e
and Humidity Memory
In T emperature and Humidity Mode, press and hold
MEM 3-4 seconds to clear memory for all channels
(there will be no key sound to confirm)
i) Main Unit and Remote Sensor Status
The kinetic wave display shows the signal receiving
status of the main unit. There are three possible forms:
j) Activating Main Console Unit to Search for
All Remote Sensor Signals
The main console unit may be manually activated to
search for signals from all remote sensors.
Press and hold “-” to start a search.
k) Disconnected Signals
If without obvious reasons the display of the outdoor
temperature goes blank. Hold “-” for 2 seconds to start
an immediate search. If that fails, check:
1. The remote unit is still in place.
2. The batteries of both the remote unit and main unit.
Replace as necessary .
Note: When the temperature falls below freezing point,
the batteries of outdoor units will get cold too and
subsequently lowering their voltage supply and the
effective transmission range.
e) Setting up the T emperatur e Alerts
1. In T emperature and Humidity Mode, press
ALARM/CHART to select the alarm which you
wish to configure.
2. Press and hold ALARM/CHAR T until channel
temperature and or icon starts flashing in
the display .
3. Set V alue for T emperature Alert:
Press “+”or “-” to adjust value. Press and hold either
button for fast advance.
Press ALARM/CHART to confirm your selection.
4. Upon completion the display will be returned to
the temperature alert selection screen.
f) Interrupt a triggered alarm
T o Disable T emperature Alarm(s):
Press ALARM/CHAR T to disable the alarm (s).
g) V iewing the Max/Min Channel T emperature and
Humidity
In T emperature and Humidity Mode, each press of
MEM rotates the selected temperature and humidity
(IN, CH1-5) between:
- Current temperature and humidity
- Minimum temperature and humidity
- Maximum temperature and humidity
A temperature alert function is available for each
channel. It can be programmed to sound if the channel
temperature exceeds or falls below the pre-configured
upper and lower limits.
Note: The temperature alerts have a 0.5 ºC hysteresis to
prevent the alerts from sounding constantly due to small
fluctuations near the alert value. This means that after
the temperature reaches the alert value, it will have to
fall below the alert value plus the hysteresis to
deactivate the active alert.
a) Accessing T emperatur e and Humidity Mode
From the main console unit: Press “+” or “-” until the
IN icon starts flashing.
b) V iewing T emperatur e and Humidity Display for
each Channel

displays, press and hold CHANNEL , until the icon
is displayed. Each valid channel will now be displayed
for 5s.
c) Setting Units for T emperature Display (ºC or ºF)
In T emperature and Humidity Mode, press and hold
SET to convert units between degrees Celsius ºC and
degrees Fahrenheit ºF .
d) Activating/Deactivating the T emperatur e Alertsl
1. In T emperature and Humidity Mode, each press of
ALARM/CHART rotates channel temperature
display between:
- Current T emperature for corresponding channel
- Upper T emperature Alert (displays OFF if
deactivated): icon displayed
5. TEMPERA TURE AND HUMIDITY MODE
Important: All operations described in here are to be
made in the T emperature/Humidity mode.
The weather station supports up to 3 remote
thermo-hygro sensors, each sensor corresponding to a
separate channel for the temperature and relative
humidity display . The temperature may be shown in
degrees Celsius ºC or degrees Fahrenheit ºF . The trend
(rising, steady or falling) of the values is also indicated
on the display .
The main console unit uses the indoor temperature and
humidity data to compute a comfort level rating of W et,
Comfort or Dry .

pressure display .
2. When sea level pressure is displayed, press
HISTOR Y repeatedly to view sea level pressure
data for each of the last 24 hours.
3. If no buttons are pressed for 5s, the display
automatically returns to Pressure and W eather
Forecast Mode.
g) V iewing the Pr essure/ T emperature/ Humidity
Bar -Charts
The bar-chart on the display can be configured to
display the history data for sea-level pressure,
temperature or humidity for channel 1.
In Pressure and W eather Forecast Mode, press and hold
ALARM/CHART, to toggle the bar-chart between:
- Sea-level pressure (“PRESSURE” will be displayed)
- T emperature (Thermometer icon and “CH1” will
be displayed)
- Humidity (RH icon and “CH1” will be displayed)
c) Viewing Pressure and Altitude Data
In Pressure and W eather Forecast Mode, each press of
SET rotates display between:
- Sea level pressure
- Local pressure
- Local altitude
d) Settin g the Sea Level Pressur e or the local altitude
1. In Pressure and W eather Forecast Mode, press SET
until the sea level pressure is displayed.
2. Press and hold SET . The Sea Level Pressure display
starts flashing.
3. Set Sea Level Pressure:
Press “+” or “-” to adjust. Press and hold either
button for fast advance.
Press SET to confirm your selection.
4. Upon completion the display will be returned to
Pressure and W eather Forecast Mode.
The same procedure can be done to set the altitude.
