Press the TUNE key again to exit the calibration mode.Notes:• The comfort icon is based on calibrated temperature and humidity values.• To clear the calibration for a specic channel and parameter, press and hold MODE/ALARM key for 2 seconds during the temperature or humidity calibration mode.7.9.1 Calibration DiscussionThe purpose of calibration is to ne tune or correct for any sensor error associated with the devices margin of error. Errors can occur due to electronic variation (example, the temperature sensor is a resistive thermal device or RTD, the humidity sensor is a capacitance device), or degradation (contamination of sensors).Calibration is only useful if you have a known calibrated source you can compare it against, and is optional. This section discusses practices, procedures and sources for sensor calibration to reduce manufacturing and degradation errors. Do not compare your readings obtained from sources such as the internet, radio, television or newspapers. The purpose of your weather station is to measure conditions of your surroundings, which vary signicantly from location to location.Parameter Type of CalibrationDefault Typical Calibration SourceTemperature Offset Current Value Red Spirit or Mercury Thermometer (1)Humidity Offset Current Value Sling Psychrometer (2)Figure 16(1) Temperature errors can occur when a sensor is placed too close to a heat source(such as a building structure, the ground or trees).To calibrate temperature, we recommend a mercury or red spirit (uid) thermometer. Bi-metal (dial) and digital thermometers (from other weather stations) are not agood source and have their own margin of error. Using a local weather station inyour area is also a poor source due to changes in location, timing (airport weatherstations are only updated once per hour).Place the sensor in a shaded, controlled environment next to the uid thermometer,and allow the sensor to stabilize for 48 hours. Compare this temperature to theuid thermometer and adjust the console to match the uid thermometer.(2) Humidity is a difcult parameter to measure electronically and drifts over time dueto contamination. In addition, location has an adverse effect on humidity readings(installation over dirt vs. lawn for example).Ofcial stations recalibrate or replace humidity sensors on a yearly basis. Due tomanufacturing tolerances, the humidity is accurate to ± 5%. To improve thisaccuracy, the indoor and outdoor humidity can be calibrated using an accuratesource, such as a sling psychrometer.8. Additional Console Features8.1 Wireless Signal Strength and Signal Loss1. The signal strength is displayed for each wireless channels as follows:The icon blinks every time the signal is received, or once per minute.Strong wireless signalFair wireless signalWeak wireless signalFigure 172. If the signal for a specic channel has discontinued and does not recover within 15 minutes, the temperature and humidity will display “Er” for the correspondingchannel, as shown in Figure 18.3. If the signal does not recover within 48 hours, the “Er” display will be constantlydisplayed. You need to replace the batteries in the sensor and then press SENSOR /WI-FI key to pair up with the sensor again, as described in Section 7.2.Figure 188.2 Low Battery IndicationIf the console or sensor battery is low, the low battery icon will display. The icon will only appear when the corresponding channel is displayed. For example, if the Channel 2 sensor battery is low, the low battery icon is displayed when Channel 2 is displayed.Indoor low battery icon Channel 2 low battery iconFigure 198.3 Low Temperature IconWhen the temperature is less than 3 ºC (37.4 ºF), the LO temperature icon will be displayed. The purpose of this icon is ice can begin forming at this temperature.
