WTH600 - WIRELESS WEATHER STATION
WITH WIRELESS TRANSMITTER SENSOR
1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Extech WTH600 Wireless Weather Station with 5-in-1 wireless sensor.
The sensor includes a self-emptying rain collector for measuring rainfall, an anemometer for wind
velocity, a wind vane for wind direction, a temperature sensor, and a relative humidity sensor. The
WTH600 comes fully assembled and calibrated for convenience. The sensor transmits data up to
492 ft. (150m), line of sight, to the main display unit via low power radio frequency. The main unit
displays all of the weather data received from the sensor and the user can recall stored weather
data (24-periods). The WTH600 is a powerful and unique personal weather station that, with
proper use, will provide years of reliable service.
FEATURES
 HI/LO Alarms alert the user when programmed weather limits are exceeded
 Barometric pressure is computed and helps forecast the weather and possible storms
 Min/Max feature includes date/time stamp
 View Rainfall rate and daily/weekly/monthly amounts
 Wind-speed levels are shown expressed in Beaufort scale
 Wind-chill, Heat Index, Dew point, and Comfort level are computed and displayed
