Press the TUNE key again to exit the calibration mode. above 80 °C (176 °F), LCD will display “HI”. Notes: • The comfort icon is based on calibrated temperature and humidity values. • To clear the calibration for a specific channel and parameter, press and hold MODE/ ALARM key for 2 seconds during the temperature or humidity calibration mode. When humidity is below 1%, the LCD will display “Lo”. If humidity is above 99%, the LCD will display “HI”. This can also indicate there is a problem with the temperature and humidity sensor. 7.9.1 Calibration Discussion The purpose of calibration is to fine 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). 7.8 Max / Min Temperature and Humidity Record The console can display the daily or all time (since the last reset) MAX/MIN temperature and humidity records. 1. In normal mode, press the MEM / - key to switch between the daily (D) and all time (S) (since last reset) MAX/MIN temperature and humidity values on the right side section of LCD display, as shown in Figure 12. 2. When the MAX/MIN records are shown, the display will return to normal mode after 5 seconds. Daily MAX / MIN 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 significantly from location to location. Since MAX / MIN 7.6.2 Turning On and Off the Alarm Feature 1. While in normal time mode, press the MODE/ALARM button to display the alarm time set in Section 7.6.1. 2. Press the MODE/ALARM button again to turn on and off the alarm.

Parameter Figure 12 Channel 1 Offset Current Value Place the sensor in a shaded, controlled environment next to the fluid thermometer, and allow the sensor to stabilize for 48 hours. Compare this temperature to the fluid thermometer and adjust the console to match the fluid thermometer. (2) Humidity is a difficult parameter to measure electronically and drifts over time due to contamination. In addition, location has an adverse effect on humidity readings (installation over dirt vs. lawn for example). 7.7 Temperature and Humidity Display and Settings 7.7.1 Temperature Units of Measure Press the °F / °C button on the back of the display to change the temperature units of measure. Indoor Humidity Figure 19 8.3 Low Temperature Icon When 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. Red Spirit or Mercury Thermometer (1) Sling Psychrometer (2) To calibrate temperature, we recommend a mercury or red spirit (fluid) thermometer. Bi-metal (dial) and digital thermometers (from other weather stations) are not a good source and have their own margin of error. Using a local weather station in your area is also a poor source due to changes in location, timing (airport weather stations are only updated once per hour). 3. Press and hold the MEM/- button for two seconds to clear the all-time Max/Min records. The display will update as shown in Figure 13. If the snooze function is turned on, the 4-step crescendo alarm will sound every 5 minutes. Press and hold the ALARM / SNOOZE button for two seconds to turn off the alarm sound.
