Wind Direction
Wind Direction is set to North during setup. Failure to set the wind direction or mount the wind sensor facing north will
result in incorrect wind direction readings. If your wind direction is incorrect, follow the instructions in step 6 of the “Setup
Instructions Step-by-step” to reset the direction.
With the wind icon flashing, press and release the SET button to change the wind display to view wind direction as letters
(N, S, E, W) or degrees of direction (22.5º). The arrow within the compass rose indicates the direction.
Wind Speed, Wind Gust, Wind Chill
Wind Speed is “sampled” every 11 seconds. The current wind speed viewed on the display is the average wind
speed over the past 10 minutes.
Wind Gust is “sampled” every 11 seconds. These readings are sent to the weather station every 33 seconds as
current wind gust. You may find the wind gust helpful for readings updated more often than the 10 minute average
wind speed.
Wind Chill is a combination of wind speed and the outdoor temperature recorded by the wind sensor. Wind Chill will
only read in Fahrenheit.
