DAVIS Vantage Pro Console - Manual (Page 37)

Alarm Mode
Three Special Alarms
ET (Evapotranspiration)
ET is updated only once an hour, on the hour. If during a given hour the ET
Value exceeds the alarm threshold, the ET alarm sounds at the end of that
hour. This is true for daily, monthly, and yearly ET alarms. You must have the
optional Solar Radiation Sensor to use this alarm. See “Evapotranspiration
(ET)” on page 50 for a description of this variable.
Barometric Pressure
The Vantage Pro allows you to set two barometric pressure alarms: a “rise”
alarm and a “fall” alarm. You may select any rate of change per three hours
between 0.00 and 0.99 Hg; the alarm will sound if the rate of change (in
either direction) exceeds your threshold you set.
Time
The time alarm is a standard “alarm clock” alarm. It will sound at the time
you’ve set. Make sure you choose am or pm, if you’re in 12-hour mode. It will
sound for one minute.
