Programmable Weather Alarms

Each Selectable Weather Category features an alarm option. When an alarm sounds, the display unit emits audible beeping and flashes the affected category, its alarm settings, and any other relevant data.

Some alarms can be customized to alert you when your programmed value is reached. Alarms include:

OUTDOOR HUMIDITY

LOW

HIGH

 

 

 

OUTDOOR TEMP

LOW

HIGH

 

 

 

STORM ALARM

HIGH

 

 

 

 

INDOOR HUMIDITY

DEW POINT

HIGH

 

 

 

HEAT INDEX

HIGH

 

 

 

 

RAIN

WIND SPEED

The rain alarm does not require a preset numerical value, but instead sounds as soon as rain is recorded. Similarly, the storm alarm sounds when a large atmospheric pressure drop occurs, which usually indicates an oncoming storm. Note: The storm alarm is NOT intended to be a safety device or warning system.
