WX 200 Weather Station (630-1015) Using Air Temperature Faxback Doc. # 38342 The WX 200 samples the indoor and outdoor air temperature every 10 seconds. To view the current indoor (IN) and outdoor (OUT) temperatures, repeatedly press < or > until the selection bar appears beneath the TEMP symbol on the display. NOTES: The WX 200 is preset to display the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (F), but you can change it to use the Celsius (C) format. If the current temperature is outside the weather station's operating measurement range (see "Specifications," Faxback Doc. # 38352), O.R. (out of range) appears on the display along with the upper or lower temperature limit. VIEWING/RESETTING HI/LOW TEMPERATURE RECORDS To view the highest (HI) or lowest (LOW) indoor or outdoor temperature recorded since the last memory reset, repeatedly press MEMORY until MEMORY and that record appear on the display. For example, repeatedly press MEMORY until you see HI and OUT to select the record for the highest outdoor temperature recorded. To view the date and time a selected HI or LOW temperature was recorded in memory, press DOWN ARROW. To recall that temperature record, press UP ARROW. To reset a selected temperature record in memory and record a new HI or LOW temperature beginning with the current reading, hold down CLEAR for about 2 seconds until the weather station beeps. USING THE HI/LOW TEMPERATURE ALARMS You can set the WX 200 to sound an alarm when a set high (HI) or low (LOW) indoor or outdoor temperature is reached. Each time the temperature changes and meets or exceeds a set HI or LOW indoor or outdoor alarm condition, ALARM and HI or LOW flash on the display and the weather station sounds an alarm steadily for 1 minute, then for about 5 seconds once every minute until the temperature moves back within the set conditions for that alarm. To silence the alarm sooner, press any key except LIGHT. NOTES: If you are using a mode other than TEMP when a HI/LOW temperature alarm sounds, a bar flashes beneath the TEMP symbol on the display but ALARM does not appear. If you press a key to silence the alarm, the alarm stops sounding but the symbol bar (or ALARM and HI or LOW) continues to flash until that alarm condition is no longer met. To view the current HI/LOW indoor or outdoor temperature alarm conditions, select the TEMP mode then press ALARM once to select the indoor (IN) setting or twice to select the outdoor (OUT) setting. Press ALARM again to recall the current indoor and outdoor temperature readings. NOTE: ---- appears when no alarm condition is set. Setting a HI/LOW Temperature Alarm To set a HI/LOW temperature alarm to sound using the last set alarm conditions, select the TEMP mode and repeatedly press ALARM until you see the alarm setting you want to use, then press CLEAR. The last set conditions for that alarm appear on the display. NOTE: The WX 200 selects these HI/LOW temperature conditions the first time you set an indoor or outdoor temperature alarm after you connect power or press RESET: Indoor HI 122 degrees F (50 degrees C) LOW 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) Outdoor HI 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) LOW -40 degrees F (-40 degrees C) To set different conditions for a HI/LOW temperature alarm, follow theses steps. NOTE: While setting a HI/LOW temperature alarm: - If you do not press any button for about 60 seconds, the weather station beeps, stores any changes you have entered so far, then displays the current conditions for that HI/LOW alarm. If this happens, you must start over at Step 3. - To keep the exiting condition in any step, simply press SET and skip to the next step. - Press UP ARROW to set the digit(s) forward, or DOWN ARROW to set them backward. - To rapidly set the digits forward or backward, hold down UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW. 1. If necessary, repeatedly press < or > to select the TEMP mode. 2. Press ALARM once to select the indoor alarm setting, or press it twice to select the outdoor alarm setting. ALARM and IN or OUT appear on the display. 3. Hold down SET for about 2 seconds until the weather station beeps. The last set temperatures for that alarm setting appear, and the HI condition flashes. 4. Repeatedly press UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to set the HI temperature, then press SET. The LOW temperature flashes. 5. Repeatedly press UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to set the LOW temperature, then press SET to store the set alarm temperature. NOTE: The LOW temperature you select must be lower than the selected HI temperature. If not, the HI temperature flashes again when you press SET and you must repeat Steps 4 and 5 to select the correct alarm temperatures. Clearing a HI/LOW Temperature Alarm Setting To clear the conditions for a HI/LOW temperature alarm so the alarm does not sound, select the TEMP mode and repeatedly press ALARM until that alarm setting appears on the display, then press CLEAR. ---- appears.
