Extech Instruments WTH600-E - User Manual

USER MANUAL
WTH600-E WIRELESS WEATHER STATION
WITH WIRELESS TRANSMITTER SENSOR
FOR USE IN EU and UK ONLY
1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Extech WTH600-E Wireless Weather Station with 5-in-1 wireless
sensor. The sensor includes a self-emptying rain collector for measuring rainfall, an anemometer
for wind velocity, a wind vane for wind direction, a temperature sensor, and a relative humidity
sensor. The WTH600-E comes fully assembled and calibrated for convenience. The sensor transmits
data up to 492 ft. (150m), line of sight, to the main display unit via low power radio frequency. The
main unit displays all of the weather data received from the sensor and the user can recall stored
weather data (24-periods). Includes Radio Controlled Clock feature (MSF/DCF). The WTH600-E is a
powerful and unique personal weather station that, with proper use, will provide years of reliable
service.
FEATURES
Radio Controlled Clock (MSF/DCF)
HI/LO Alarms alert the user when programmed weather limits are exceeded
Barometric pressure is computed and helps forecast the weather and possible storms
Min/Max feature includes date/time stamp
View Rainfall rate and daily/weekly/monthly amounts
Wind-speed levels are shown expressed in Beaufort scale
Wind-chill, Heat Index, Dew point, and Comfort level are computed and displayed
