* Outside temperature accuracy is based on the temperature sensor itself and not on the sensor and the passive shielding together. The solar radiation induced
error for the radiation shield: +4ºF (2ºC) at solar noon with the wind speed at less than or equal to 2 mph (1 m/s); The higher the wind speed, the less solar
radiation induced error.
**Barometric pressure readings are standardized to sea level. Elevation Range: -1410’ to +15,000’; -600 to +4660 m.
