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)
