At a dewpoint below freezing the fallout will become frost or snow. Windchill has been introduced for battle planning during World War II. It represents not the real measured but the one temperature a person feels in open area under the influence of wind and cold. Windchill is laid out in tables for various temperatures and wind speeds. 8°C and calm winds a person moving at a speed of 6 m/s will already feel a windchill temperature of 0°C. Wind Data (LCD Section 3) The current wind direction will be displayed on the LCD compass on the wind section. Press the WIND key to toggle between wind direction as numerical (e. g. 225°) and abbreviated characters (e. g. SW) as well as numerical wind speed display inside the compass circle. 69 12.

Basic Programming Modes Manual Setting modes The manual setting mode allows the user to change several basic settings, which is done by accessing one mode after the other simply by pressing the SET key. After the final mode, or if no key is pressed for 30 seconds, the manual setting returns to the normal display mode. The manual setting takes the user through the following modes: 1. 8 level LCD contrast setting (default level 5) 2. 12/24h time display select (default 24 hours) 4. Time zone setting ±12 hours (default 0) 6. Temperature display unit degree Celsius or Fahrenheit (default degree Celsius) 7. Wind speed display units in m/s, km/h, mph, Beaufort, knots (default setting km/h) 8. Rainfall display in mm or inch (default setting mm) 9. Air pressure display in hPa or inHg (default setting hPa) 10. [. . . ] Poorly shielded PCs can cause interferences that will reduce or in some cases stop reception Cleaning and Maintenance Clean the housing and screen of the base station only with a soft damp cloth. Ensure that the rain sensor does not collect leaves or other dirt by checking the funnel for blockages every now and then. Also clean the seesaw of the sensor with a damp cloth and - - 21. - 87 - - check by lightly tapping with your finger that it can move freely from side to side. [. . . ]
