WX 200 Weather Station (630-1015) Using Relative Humidity Faxback Doc. # 38343 The WX 200 samples the indoor and outdoor air temperature and determines the relative humidity percentage every 10 seconds. To view the current indoor (IN) and outdoor (OUT) relative humidity conditions, repeatedly press < or > until the selection bar appears beneath the HUMIDITY symbol on the display. NOTE: If the current relative humidity is outside the weather station's operating measurement range (see "Specifications," Faxback Doc. # 38352), O.R. (out of range) appears on the display. VIEWING/RESETTING HI/LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY RECORDS To view the highest (HI) or lowest (LOW) indoor or outdoor relative humidity 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 highest outdoor humidity recorded. To view the date and time a selected relative humidity was recorded in memory, press DOWN ARROW. To recall that relative humidity record, press UP ARROW. To reset a selected HI/LOW relative humidity record in memory and record a new HI or LOW beginning with the current condition, hold down CLEAR for about 2 seconds until the weather station beeps. USING THE HI/LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY ALARMS You can set the WX 200 to sound an alarm when a set HI or LOW indoor or outdoor relative humidity is reached. Each time the relative humidity 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 relative humidity 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 HUMIDITY when a HI/LOW relative humidity alarm sounds, a bar flashes beneath the HUMIDITY 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/LOW) continues to flash until that alarm condition is no longer met. To view the current HI/LOW indoor or outdoor relative humidity alarm conditions, select the HUMIDITY mode, then press ALARM once to select the indoor (IN) setting or twice to select the outdoor (OUT) setting. Press it again to recall the current indoor/outdoor relative humidity conditions. NOTE: -- appears when no alarm condition is set. Setting a HI/LOW Relative Humidity Alarm To set a HI/LOW relative humidity alarm to sound using the last set conditions for that alarm, select the HUMIDITY 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 first time you set an indoor or outdoor relative humidity alarm after you connect power or press RESET the WX 200 selects a default HI relative humidity condition of 97% and LOW of 10% (for both indoors and outdoors). To set different conditions for a HI/LOW relative humidity alarm, follow these steps. NOTE: While setting a HI/LOW relative humidity 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 setting. If this happens, you must start over at Step 3. - To keep the existing 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 HUMIDITY 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 humidity conditions for the selected alarm appear, and the HI condition flashes. 4. Repeatedly press UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to set the HI relative humidity condition, then press SET. The LOW condition flashes. 5. Repeatedly press UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to set the LOW relative humidity condition, then press SET to store the selected conditions. NOTE: The LOW condition you select must be lower than the selected HI condition. If not, the HI condition flashes again when you press SET and you must repeat Steps 4 and 5 to select the correct alarm conditions. Clearing a HI/LOW Relative Humidity Alarm Setting To clear the conditions for a HI/LOW relative humidity alarm so the alarm does not sound, select the HUMIDITY mode and repeatedly press ALARM until that alarm setting appears on the display, then press CLEAR. -- appears.
