Page 5: Sensor Operation Verification
2.4.3 Sensor Operation Verification Verify the indoor and outdoor humidity match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 10’ apart). The sensors should be within 10% (the accuracy is ± 5%). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize. Verify the indoor and outdoor temperature match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 10’... -

Absolute Pressure and Relative Pressure. Press the MIN/MAX or + key to toggle between absolute pressure and relative pressure. 4.2 Set (Program) Mode While in Normal Mode, press and hold the SET key for at least three seconds to enter the Set Mode. The first setting will begin flashing. - Page 7 Hours from Time Zone Cities 7 --- Bangkok 8 CCT: China Coast Bejing 9 JST: Japan Standard Tokyo 10 GST: Guam Standard Sydney 11 --- Magadan 12 IDLE: International Date Line East Wellington, New Zealand NZST: New Zealand Standard 12/24 Hour Format. Press the SET key again to adjust the 12/24 hour format setting. Press the + key to change between 12 hour and 24 hour format.

Page 8: Setting Barometric Pressure
The calibration feature allows you to zero out this error. To calibrate humidity, you will need an accurate source, such as a sling psychrometer or Humidipaks One Step Calibration kit, available from Ambient Weather, which uses a salt bath. Version 1.8 ©Copyright 2011, Ambient LLC. -
Page 9: Alarm Mode
To calibra te indoor humidity, in the Set Mode with indoor humidity flashing, press the + key or MIN/MAX key to increase or decrease the humidity setting (in increments of 1%) to match the calibrated or known humidity source. To return the indoor humidity to the measured value, press and hold the SET key for 3 seconds and the humidity will return to the uncalibrated value. -

Pressure maximum (or minimum) Press the SET key for two seconds to reset th e specific value (that is flashing) and associated date and me to the current reading. -
Page 12: Storm Threshold Indicator
Example 1: Pressure is decreasing, weat her is deteriorating. Example 2: Pressure is increasing, weather is improving. 4.5.4 Storm threshold indicator The storm threshold (the negative rate of pressu re change signifying a storm is expected) can be adjusted by the user from level 3 to level 9 (the def ault level 4 mbar/hour). -

5. Glossary of Terms Term Definition Absolute Barometric Relative ba rometric pressure, corrected to sea-level. To compare Pressure pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure to sea-level condition s. Because th e air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level corrected pressure (the pressure yo location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your measured pressure. -
