Glossary of Common Terms

LCD
"LCD" is an acronym for "Liquid Crystal Display". This is a common type of
display screen used in televisions, computers, watches, and digital clocks.
BAROMETER & BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
A barometer is a device that measures the pressure of the air pushing on it—this
measurement is called the barometric pressure. We don't actually feel the
barometric pressure because the air pressure is pushing equally in every
direction.
RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE
Relative air pressure is the same as the barometric pressure. The calculation
of relative air pressure is a combination of the absolute air pressure and the
altitude.
ABSOLUTE AIR PRESSURE
Absolute air pressure is the actual air pressure on the barometer without regard
to altitude.
INCHES OF MERCURY (inHg)
Inches of Mercury are the common unit of measurement for air pressure in the
United States.
HECTOPASCALS (hPa)
Hectopascals are the common units of measurement for air pressure in the
International System (SI) of measurement. The hectopascal holds the same
value

  • Page 2 Important Note: Before inserting batteries, please carefully read the operation manual. The touch screen weather station includes a base station (receiver), an integrated outdoor unit consisting of solar-panel/wind direction sensor/wind speed sensor/rain gauge/thermo-hygro sensor, USB cable and a PC software package on CD-ROM.

  • Page 3: Getting Started

    Important Operation Notes All actions and functions of the weather station are started on the touch screen by slightly touching (not pressing!) the related areas, touch the flashing +, ON/OFF or – to make the corresponding selection or increase the value. Every time a programming step is activated by touching a switching area on the Touch Screen a tone will sound, and the back light is switched on for a few seconds as well.

Adjust the mounting pipe as necessary. If the bubble is close, but not quite inside the circle, and you cannot adjust the mounting pipe, you may have to experiment with small wooden or heavy cardboard shims between the sensor package and the top of the mounting pole to...
