DIRECTIONS FOR HOWARD MILLER
WEATHER INSTRUMENTS
Barometer
Disregard the words Rain, Change and Fair as these are only traditional
zones on a barometer dial. Your barometer indicating hand will never
move all the way to Rain to predict inclement weather. The normal
operating range of movement for your barometer indicating hand is
from 29.5 to 30.5 inches of mercury. Your most extreme readings
would occur before a hurricane or tornado when barometers have
dropped as low as 28.5 inches of mercury: or, at the other extreme,
if very fair, dry weather is to come, your barometer may rise to 30.9
inches of mercury.
The following procedure, if done every 12 hours, or morning and
evening, should give you the best results.
1. Tap the instrument lightly to release any latent action.
2. Record the inches of mercury as indicated by the barometer hand.
This is your momentary reading. Some barometer models have a set
hand which can be positioned directly over the barometer hand. At a
later period you will be able to notice in what direction the barometer
hand has moved since the last setting.
If it moves to the right (clockwise), you have a rising barometer which
usually means a change for the better or continued good weather.
If the reading is to the left (counterclockwise), you have a falling
barometer which usually means a change for the worse. A steady
barometer means no change. For accurate weather predictions, it is
highly important that your barometer be adjusted to sea level. The
correct sea level reading can be obtained form your Weather Bureau
or television weather forecasts.
Readings obtained from your barometer indicate weather conditions
that may prevail within the next 24 to 48 hours, providing wind
direction and velocity remain the same as when readings were
obtained.
Adjustment of the Barometer
In the event that your barometer does not read exactly like the reading
obtained from your local weather forecast, the instrument should be
adjusted. Adjustment can be made from the back of the instrument.
Adjust the barometer hand by turning the adjustment screw located in
the hole in the back of the instrument.
Clock (if applicable)
To set time on movement remove back cover of movement housing
for access to battery compartment. Install (1) AA alkaline battery
(not included). The battery must be installed with the positive (+)
side located as indicated on the battery compartment. The hands
should be set by turning the knob on the back of the movement in the
direction of the arrow until the hands indicate actual time.
Caution: When clock stops remove battery immediately and replace
with new LEAKPROOF battery of the appropriate size.
Hygrometer
The Hygrometer or Humidity Indicator is designed for indoor use.
While indoor and outdoor barometric pressures are identical, this
is not true of the relative humidity. Therefore remember that this
instrument indicates the humidity of the room atmosphere which
has no relation to the outdoor humidity readings announced on the
weather reports.
Adjustment of the Hygrometer
Due to transportation, this instrument may be off scale. To adjust put
damp cloth on the back of the humidity indicator for 20 minutes.
The scale should then read approximately 95. If it reads a lower
number or is off scale completely, merely turn screw on back until
the pointer is on 95. The humidity indicator will then start to operate
again. To maintain accuracy of the instrument, it is advisable to repeat
this procedure every six months.
Thermometer
The mercury type thermometer is fitted with a glass tube exhausted
of air. During shipment, the liquid (mercury) in the tube may be
separated. If so, this can be remedied by tapping the bottom of the
thermometer (or the entire instrument) against the ball of your thumb.
The liquid will thus form a solid column again.
Horizontal and Vertical Hanging of Nautical Weather Instruments and
Clocks
Inserted fit ups of clocks and weather instruments may be rotated
allowing the case to be hung in a horizontal or vertical position. To
do this pull outward on rim bezel to remove fit up from the case. On
some instruments by unscrewing the bezel, the dial can be rotated
from the inside. This will enable you upon choice to hang the case
from a horizontal or vertical position.
