WX 200 Weather Station (630-1015) Using Wind Chill Faxback Doc. # 38347 The WX 200 samples the air temperature, speed, and humidity and determines the current wind chill temperature every 5 seconds. To view the current wind chill temperature, repeatedly press < or > until the selection bar appears beneath the W.CHILL 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 wind chill temperature 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 THE LOW WIND CHILL MEMORY RECORD To view the lowest wind chill temperature recorded since the last memory reset, select the W. CHILL mode then press MEMORY. To view the date and time that wind chill temperature was recorded in memory, press DOWN ARROW. To recall the wind chill record, press UP ARROW. To reset the low wind chill record in memory and record a new low wind chill beginning with the current condition, hold down CLEAR for about 2 seconds until the weather station beeps. USING THE LOW WIND CHILL ALARM You can set the weather station to sound an alarm when the wind chill temperature meets or drops below a set temperature. Each time the wind chill temperature changes and meets or drops below the set temperature, ALARM 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 wind chill temperature 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 W. CHILL when the low wind chill alarm sounds, a bar flashes beneath the W. CHILL symbol on the display but ALARM and LOW do not appear. If you press a key to silence the alarm, the alarm stops sounding but the symbol bar (or ALARM and LOW) continues to flash until the alarm condition is no longer met. To view the current low wind chill alarm condition, select the W. CHILL mode then press ALARM. Press it again to recall the current wind chill. NOTE: ---- appears when no alarm condition is set. Setting the Low Wind Chill Alarm To set the low wind chill alarm to sound using the last alarm condition, select the W. CHILL mode and press ALARM so ALARM appears on the display, then press CLEAR. The last set alarm condition appears on the display. NOTE: The first time you press CLEAR to set the low wind chill alarm after you connect power or press RESET, the WX 200 selects a default setting of - 121 degrees F (-85 degrees C). To set a different condition for the low wind chill alarm, follow these steps. 1. If necessary repeatedly press < or > to select the W. CHILL mode. 2. Press ALARM so ALARM appears on the display. 3. Hold down SET for about 2 seconds until the weather station beeps. The last set low wind chill alarm 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 Low Wind Chill Temperature Alarm To clear the low wind chill alarm condition so the alarm does not sound, select the W.
