4. Press the ALARM key once to return to the normal display mode.
In case the wind speed exceeds the condition for high wind speed alarm, the value
will be flashing, along with the corresponding high alarm icon ("HI AL"). And the
buzzer will ring for 2 minutes. User may press any key to stop the sound.
HYSTERESIS
To compensate for fluctuation of the measured data, which may cause the weather
alarm to sound constantly if the measured reading is close to your set level, a
hysteresis function has been implemented for each weather alarm. For example, if the
high temperature alarm is set to +77°F and the current value moves to +77°F, the
alarm will be activated (if it has been enabled). Now when the temperature drops to
+76.8°F or below and thereafter again increases to beyond +77°F, the data will be
blinking, but no alarm will be activated. It has to drop to below +75.2°F (with a pre-set
hysteresis of 1.8°F) so that the alarm can be produced again. Hysteresis values for
the various weather data types are given in the following table:
Weather data Hysteresis
Temperature 1.8°F
Humidity 3% RH
Wind speed 3.1 mph
Note:
The temperature or humidity data will keep on flashing even after a key has been
pressed to stop the alarm or buzzer has been switched off, to indicate that the current
weather condition is out of the pre-set limit(s)
