[. . . ] Press the SET key one more time to confirm and go back to the normal display mode. Note: · If user has set "Enr = 2" and three transmitters are on, the data only from channel No. 1 and 2 will be saved in the system memory. 19 · · On the other hand, if user has initially applied 3 transmitters but then remove the Channel 2, the temperature station will thereafter display "--. -" for Channel 2. And if the user has chosen "Enr = 2, then data from Channel 1 to 2 will be stored in the memory, instead of Channel 1 and 3. After the "Enr" number has been changed, the history data will be cleared and "mem" will be reset to "0000".

The channel identification icon ("in", "out 1", "out 2", "out 3") will be displayed at the upper right screen indicating that the particular channel is now being selected. The temperature and humidity readings of Outdoor transmitter No. 1 is now shown 20 VIEWING VARIOUS TYPE OF TEMP/HUMDITY READINGS OF A SELECTED CHANNEL: After a particular channel (the indoor sensor or one of the outdoor transmitters) has been selected by pressing the Plus or Minus key, the following modes of data may be viewed by user: a. The Max temperature and Max humidity Max icon flashing In normal display mode, press the mode key once. The maximum temperature and maximum humidity measured by the channel, and the date and time of the maximum temperature recorded will be displayed. The "max" icon will be flashing. 21 b. The Min temperature and Min humidity Min icon flashing In normal display mode, press the mode key two times. The minimum temperature and humidity measured by the channel, and the date and time of the minimum temperature recorded will be displayed. The "min" icon will be flashing. 22 c. The average value of the last 100 sets reading Average icon flashing In normal display mode, press the mode key three times. The average temperature and humidity value of the data which have been saved in the system memory will be displayed. If the channel is not set to be saved in the system memory, no average value will be estimated and "--. -" will be shown. Note: The "Average" value displayed for particular channel will be calculated from only the new data being recorded after battery change. 23 d. The dew point temperature Dew point temperature icon In normal display mode, press the mode key four times. The dew point temperature will be displayed next to the flashing "td" icon. 24 e. The history data sets of temperature and humidity History data icon flashing In normal display mode, press the mode key five times. The "hist" icon will be flashing and the last recorded temperature and humidity reading with the time of record will be displayed. By pressing the Minus key, the previous sets of readings which were measured at the userselected recording intervals may be viewed. If the channel is not set to be saved in the system memory, no history values will be displayed and "--. -" will be shown on LCD. ALARM PROGRAMMING FOR INDOOR/ OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY The weather station will allow users to set a range of specific alarms to meet specific temperature and humidity conditions set by the user. For example, user may set the high and low temperature alarm point at 30 and 20 °C respectively. Then the alarm will sound once the temperature is higher than 30. 0 or lower than 20. 0 °C. 25 To set the high humidity alarm: 1. [. . . ] the unit is attached to a piece of metal, it may either reduce or increase the transmitting range. For this reason, we recommend not placing the unit on any metal surfaces or in any position where a large metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate proximity (garage doors, double glazing etc. ). Before securing in place, please ensure that the Temperature Station can receive the signal from the Outdoor Temperature transmitter at the positions that you wish to situate them. CARE AND MAINTENANCE: · · · · · · Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause damage to the units and give inaccurate forecasts and readings. Do not use solvents or scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casings. [. . . ]
