Hectopascal  pressure sensitivity can be set to suit the  user   s requirement for weather forecasting from 2 hPa to 4 hPa  see  Basic programming below   For areas that experience frequent  changes in air pressure  which does not necessarily reflect a change  in the weather  requires a higher hPa setting compared to an area  where the air pressure is stagnant  For example if 3 hPa is selected   then there must be a fall or rise in air pressure of at least 3 hPa  before the weather station will register this as a change in weather     Air Pressure  LCD Section 1   The air pressure reading is displayed here  Press the PRESSURE  key to toggle between relative and absolute air pressure displays     Notes to Absolute and Relative Air Pressure    Absolute air pressure provides the display of the true measured air  pressure of the current time and location  This is not programmable  and the absolute air pressure range of the weather station is from 760  hPa to 1099 hPa  standard air pressure at an altitude of 2 300 metres  is around 760 hPa      Relative air pressure is the one value that is calculated back to sea  level from the local absolute air pressure and can thus be taken as a  reference for weather condition and weather development for the  entire country  It can be programmed to represent your local  surroundings  Since the relative air pressure is also the one value  given by various newspapers  TV and radio broadcasting stations in  their daily weather forecasts for the

It is important to keep all the connected extension heads away from  rain  moisture and other extreme weather conditions as exposure can  cause short circuits and damage to this item     13    Base Station   With two foldable legs at the back of the unit  the base station can be  placed onto any flat surface or wall mounted at the desired location by  the hanging holes also at the back of the unit  It is important to check  that the 433MHz  if using wireless connection  can be received before  permanently mounting any of the units  Should the base station not  display the 433MHz weather data from the sensors  then relocate the  units  Once the signals are received  the system can be affixed  Also  if you have selected to use cable connection  ensure that distances  can reach all desired locations before affixing any unit permanently    Mounting the Wind Sensor onto a mast           Vertical mast      p A 9                           N  Fixed with Nylon    3 strap  Wind fan          First  check that the wind fan and the wind vane can rotate freely  before fixing the unit  For correct and accurate readings it is  important to mount the sensor so that the front  marked E  is pointing  in East West direction  The wind cups must be below the mounting  bracket  The wind sensor should now be mounted using the screws  provided onto a mast to allow the wind to travel around the sensor  unhindered from all directions  ideal mast size should be from   16mm      33mm      Place the Wind
