RAIN FALL DISPLAY
A rain gauge is a type of instrument which gathers and measures the amount of liquid or solid (snow,
sleet, hail) precipitation over a set period of time.
Having a rain gauge at home is extremely useful. For example, it can help you keep track of the amount
of water your garden is getting or estimate what time of the year it is more likely to rain. Also, the amount
of precipitation varies so much locally that your area might get a different level of rainfall than the one
recorded at your local weather observatory.
- The rainfall can be displayed in mm or inches, moreover it can show the rainfall record in total, at last
hour, today, and yesterday.
Change the display unit:
Press Minute/– [3] to toggle between wind speed in mph with rain fall in inches and wind speed in
km/h with rain fall in mm.
Display the rainfall record:
To display the last hour, today and yesterday's accumulated rainfall:
Press HOUR/+ [2] repeatedly to change the rainfall record.
Press [5] during 3 seconds to set the accumulated rainfall values back to 0.

WEATHER FORECAST & DISPLAY
Animated weather forecast symbols
This weather station is capable of detecting barometric pressure changes, and based on the data
collected, can predict the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours. The effective range covers an area of
30 – 50km.
Storm Alert
* The storm symbol will flash to warn of a thunderstorm.
* It is activated when pressure falls/rises and temperature plunges.
About Snow and Freeze Warning
* The snow symbol will flash to warn that it might snow.
* Activated when the temperature of Channel 1 is between -1.9 °C & +2.9 °C.
* The snow symbol will appear solid when the temperature of channel 1 falls below - 1.9 °C, and it is
freezing.
REMARKS:
• The remote sensor set at channel 1 displays the weather forecast icons (as well as the trend
indication). Please place it outdoors.
• After having completed the settings of your weather station, please discard the readings of the weather
forecast for the next 12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather Station SM1960 to
operate at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast.
• Absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed regarding weather forecasting. The weather forecasting
feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to the varying areas the Weather
Station has been designed to be used in.
