    To exit the humidity calibration mode at any time, press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button on the top of the display console. If no operation is performed, the calibration mode will timeout in 30 seconds. Note: The Humidity is a difficult parameter to measure accurately and drifts over time.

  • Page 35: Relative Pressure Calibration

    Press the ALARM key to reset current value. Example: The calibrated pressure sources measure 28.37 inHg. The display console pressure reads 28.75 inHg. Offset = 28.37 - 28.75 = - 0.38 inHg  Relative Pressure Calibration In the calibration mode, press the SET key again, the “REL” symbol will display at the pressure section, the relative pressure value will flash.
  • Page 36 sea-level corrected pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your measured pressure. Thus, your absolute pressure may read 28.62 inHg (969 mb) at an altitude of 1000 feet (305 m), but the relative pressure is 30.00 inHg (1016 mb).
  • Page 37 Press and hold the CHANNEL/+ or MAX/MIN/- key for three seconds to increase or decrease rapidly. Press the ALARM key to reset current value. Note: The wind gust is also affected by the wind speed calibration factor. Discussion: Wind speed and wind gust are adversely affected by installation constraints.
