- Page 2 Owner’s Instructions SKYWATCH ® You have just acquired a high precision instrument, manufac- tured using the most up-to-date technology. The Skywatch was designed to handle intense use and extreme condi- tions. Please take the time to carefully read your instructions so as to understand all the great features this unit has to offer.
- Page 3 Temperature in Celcius and Changing of temperature unit Fahrenheit degree (ºC and ºF) Minimum and Maximum Temperatures : Minimum and Maximum temperatures are permanently displayed. Extreme values will flash on the bargraph. When your instru- ment is on standby, temperature is measured every thirty (30) minutes, allowing a recording of the extreme values, even when the instrument is turned off.
- Page 4 The pressure can be influenced by 3 main factors: 1. Altitude. Pressure decreases with altitude. In similar meteorological conditions, if pressure is 1013 hPa at the sea level, it will be only 977 hPa at 300m or 794 hPa at 2,000 m. 2.
- Page 5 Calibration: Calibration can be done only if the instrument is set in altitude mode. To enter calibration mode, both mode and wind button need to be pushed at the same time. All other information will disappear from the LCD. In this mode, the mode button increases the altitude and the wind button decreases it.
- Page 6 Dew point : Dew point is calculated by mixing the humidity rate and current temperature. It indicates at what temperature condensation will appear. Dew point can be selected by pushing the mode button. It is then indicated in ˚C or ˚F in the lower corner of the display with the symbol Dew point Current Wind Speed :...
- Page 7 with a AV symbol for average wind speed and MAX symbol for maximum wind speed. Maximum wind speed can be deleted by pressing the wind and mode buttons simul- taneously. Standby : The instrument turns itself to standby after 3 minutes without touching any buttons.
- Page 8 Geos is based on magnetic ® transmission. The turning impeller creates a magnetic field that is detected by the SKYWATCH Geos (JDC Electronic SA patent). If the SKYWATCH Geos is close to ® ® another magnetic field (from a computer, electronic appliance, etc...), it may display unexpected values but only if the impeller is not turning.
