CHAPTER 5 BAROMETER MODE
The Suunto Wristop Computer Barometer function provides the user with:
• an adjustable unit of measure mbar or inHg; mbar range 300 to 1,100 mbar, inHg range 8.90 to 32.40;
• an adjustable sea level pressure function ranging from 27.25-30.80 inHg / 921-1,080 mbar
• a resolution of 1 mbar or 0.05 inHg;
• a one hour interval measuring to estimate barometric trend;
• difference measurement function allows zeroing of the barometer for following e.g. overnight changes in barometric pressure and
temperature;
• an automatic 4-day memory of atmospheric pressure for the last 6 hours in 1-hour intervals, thereafter, in 6-hour intervals;
• temperature compensation (temperature does not effect the pressure within the specied temperature range)
• a temperature range from -20° to 60°C or -5° to 140°F; and
• a temperature resolution of 1° C or F.
To view and use the Barometer function:
Check the Mode Indicator arrow. If the mode arrow is not on BARO, PRESS the [Mode] button until the arrow is directly below
BARO.
In the Barometer mode (Fig. 45):
• Field 1 displays the current temperature.
• Field 2 displays the current absolute atmospheric pressure.
• Field 3 displays the current time.
• The Outer Circumference graphically displays the atmospheric pressure over 100 millibars or 1 inHg where one complete circle is
equivalent to 100 mbar/1 inHg, depending on the unit of measure chosen.
