    Note: While in the search mode, the remote search icon will be constantly displayed until all the measured values received. The console will automatically switch to the normal mode from which all further settings can be performed. When connected with the Integrated Outdoor Sensor, the measured value (Indoor temperature,humidity,pressure,moon phase,time,wind speed,wind gust,wind direction,rain,outdoor temperature and humidity) will show up on the display console.

    10’ (1.5 to 3 meters) apart).The sensors should be within 4°F /2°C (the accuracy is ± 2°F/1°C). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize. 4. Verify proper operation of in/outdoor humidity. Verify the indoor and outdoor humidity match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 5 to 10’...

    3. Avoid wind and rain obstructions. The rule of thumb is to install the sensor array at least four times the distance of the height of the tallest obstruction. For example, if the building is 20ft (6m) tall, install 4 x (20 – 6)’ = 56ft (17m) away. Use common sense.

This device is rated at 300ft line of sight (no interference, barriers or walls) but typically you will get 100ft maximum under most real-world installations, which include passing through barriers or walls. 4. Metal Barriers. Radio frequency will not pass through metal barriers such as aluminum siding.

    6. Low Battery Icon A low battery indicator icon is shown in the display window for integrated outdoor sensor. When the low battery icon appears (The Integrated outdoor sensor battery voltage is lower than 3.6V), replace the batteries in the sensor with fresh batteries. Be sure to never mix old and new batteries, and never mix battery types such as alkaline and lithium together.

Offset = 25.00 - 24.85 = 0.15 inHg Note: The display console displays two different pressures: absolute (measured) and relative (corrected to sea-level). To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct the pressure to sea-level conditions.
