Alarm Mode
The Vantage Pro features more than 30 alarms that can be programmed to
sound whenever a reading exceeds a set value. With the exception of baro-
metric pressure and time, all alarms sound when a reading reaches the
alarm threshold. For example, if the high outside temperature alarm thresh-
old is set at 65 ºF, the alarm will sound when the temperature rises to 65.0
ºF.
When an alarm condition exists, the audible alarm sounds, the alarm icon
blinks repeatedly, and an alarm description appears in the ticker at the
bottom of the screen. The alarm sounds for a maximum two minutes if the
console is battery-powered, but the icon will continue to blink and the
message will stay in the ticker until you clear the alarm or the condition
clears. If you’re using the AC adapter, the alarm will continue sounding as
long as the condition exists.
The alarm will sound again for each new alarm. If more than one alarm is
active, the description for each active alarm cycles onto the screen every
four seconds. A “+” symbol appears at the end of the alarm text if more than
one alarm is tripped.
Low alarms work the same way. For example, if the wind chill threshold is
set for 30 ºF, the alarm condition begins when the temperature drops to 30 º
and will continue until the temperature rises above 30º.
