Alarms

The Weather Envoy features more than 30 alarms that can be programmed to sound whenever a reading exceeds a set value. With the exception of baromet- ric pressure and time, all alarms sound when a reading reaches the alarm threshold. For example, if the high outside temperature alarm threshold is set at 65 ºF, the alarm will sound when the temperature rises to 65.0 ºF.
