SETTING ALARMS

Your weather station offers the ability to set alarm values for many of the monitored properties. Heavy Weather Pro allows you to configure these alarms right from your computer. These alarm settings are then also transferred to the weather station.

To set an alarm, locate the icon that looks like an alarm clock next to the value you wish to set an alarm for.

Note that there is both a high and low alarm value for most of the properties, and be sure to choose the one correct one (or both) for your needs.

Note: Wind Direction and Wind Gust provide a single alarm value.

Double click the alarm clock icon and the alarm configure window for that property will appear.

Move the slider control up to increase the alarm trigger value, and down to decrease the trigger value. Click the “Active” checkbox to enable the alarm, click the Ok button, and you’re all set! The alarm icon will appear green to indicate that it is active.

When the temperature reaches the trigger value that you have set, the weather station will beep and the alarm icon will flash red to alert you that an alarm has been activated.

Note: You can silence the beep by pressing the Alarm button on the weather station, but you need to remove the Active check mark in the Alarm configuration window to de‐activate the alarm entirely.

Reminder: Make sure to select the “Active” checkbox before clicking Save.
