At certain locations (especially those at high latitudes), sunrise and sunset events may not occur
within a 24 hour time frame.
Temperature and Humidity Mode
The weather station supports up to 5 remote thermo-hygrometer sensors, each sensor corresponding
to a separate channel for the temperature and relative humidity display. The temperature may be
shown in degrees Celsius °C or degrees Fahrenheit °F. The trend (rising, steady or falling) of all
values is also indicated on the display.
The main console unit uses the indoor temperature and humidity data to compute a comfort level
rating of Wet, Comfort or Dry.
A temperature alert function is available for each channel. It can be programmed to sound if the
channel temperature exceeds or falls below the pre-configured upper and lower limits.
Note: The temperature alerts have a 0.5 °C hysteresis to prevent the alerts from sounding constantly
due to small fluctuations near the alert value. This means that after the temperature reaches the alert
value, it will have to fall below the alert value plus the hysteresis to deactivate the alert.
