WX 200 Weather Station
(630-1015)           Using Wind Speed/Direction       Faxback Doc. # 38346


The WX 200 samples the wind speed and direction every 5 seconds.  To view
the current wind speed and direction, repeatedly press < or > until
the selection bar appears beneath the WIND symbol on the display.

NOTES:  The WX 200 is preset to display the wind speed in miles per hour
        (mph), but you can set it to display knots, meters per second (m/
        s), or kilometers per hour (kph).

        If the current wind speed is outside the weather station's
        operating measurement range (see "Specifications," Faxback Doc. 
        # 38352), O.R. (out of range) appears on the display.

        The WX 200 displays wind direction in degrees (0-359 degrees,
        0 degrees being due north, 180 degrees being due south, and
        so on) and literal compass direction (N for north, s for south,
        and so on).  The WX 200 displays the literal compass wind
        direction at all times, regardless of which mode you are using.

Once every minute, the WX 200 determines the average of all wind speed
measurements it recorded in the last minute.  To view the average wind
speed, press DOWN ARROW.  To recall the current wind speed and direction,
press UP ARROW.


VIEWING/RESETTING THE HIGH WIND SPEED RECORD

To view the highest wind speed recorded since the last memory reset,
and the direction the wind was blowing at that time, press MEMORY.

To view the date and time that wind speed was recorded in memory, press
DOWN ARROW.  To recall the wind speed and direction record, press UP
ARROW.

To reset the high wind speed in memory and record a new high wind speed
and direction beginning with the current conditions, hold down CLEAR for
about 2 seconds until the weather station beeps.


USING THE HIGH WIND SPEED ALARM

You can set the weather station to sound an alarm when the wind speed
reaches or exceeds a set speed.  Each time the wind speed changes and
meets or exceeds the set speed, ALARM and HI 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 wind speed no longer meets
the set condition.  To silence the alarm sooner, press any key except
LIGHT.

NOTES:  If you are using a mode other than WIND when the wind speed alarm
        sounds, a bar flashes beneath the WIND symbol on the display
        but ALARM and HI do not appear.

        If you press a key to silence the alarm, the alarm stops sounding
        but the symbol bar (or ALARM and HI) continue to flash until
        the alarm condition is no longer met.

        To view the current high wind speed alarm condition, select the
        WIND mode then press ALARM.  Press it again to recall the current
        wind speed and direction.

NOTE:  ---- appears when no alarm condition is set.


Setting the High Wind Speed Alarm

To set the high wind speed alarm to sound using the last set alarm 
condition, select the WIND mode and press ALARM so ALARM appears next
to GUST on the display, then press CLEAR.  The last set alarm condition
appears on the display.

NOTE:  The first time you set the high wind speed alarm after you
       connect power or press RESET, the WX 200 selects a default alarm 
       condition of 125 mph (109 knots, 56 m/s, or 201 kph).

To set a different condition for the high wind speed alarm, follow these
steps.

1.  If necessary, repeatedly press < or > to select the WIND mode.

2.  If necessary, press ALARM so ALARM appears on the display.

3.  Hold down SET for about 2 seconds until the weather station beeps.
    The last set high wind speed condition flashes.

4.  Repeatedly press UP ARROW to increase the setting or DOWN ARROW
    to decrease the setting, then press SET to store it.

    NOTES:  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 alarm condition.  If this
            happens, repeat Step 3 then try again.

            To rapidly increase or decrease the setting, hold down
            UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW.


Clearing the High Wind Speed Alarm Setting

To clear the high wind speed alarm condition so the alarm does not
sound, select the WIND mode then press ALARM so ALARM appears next
to GUST on the display, then press CLEAR.  ---- appears.
