pressure.

To determine the relative pressure for your location, locate an official reporting station near you (the

internet is the best source for real time barometer conditions, such as Weather.com or

Wunderground.com), and set your weather station to match the official reporting station.

4.4 Barometer Calibration

Your barometer will operate from -100 to 7,000 feet with reliable accuracy. Aneroid barometers have a

small screw on the back for sea-level calibration. With a flat blade screwdriver, turn this screw in

either direction slightly while looking at the indicator needle. It should move in one direction or the

other. Tap the barometer to see where the needle settles. Continue this procedure until the proper

pressure reading is obtained. Do not turn the screw counter-clockwise (to the left) too far, since the

screw can fall out. After the initial calibration, no further adjustment will be required unless the

barometer is moved to a new geographic location.

The dial thermometer uses a bimetallic strip wrapped into a coil. One end of the coil is fixed to the

housing of the device and the other drives an indicating needle. The principle behind a bimetallic strip

thermometer relies on the fact that different metals expand at different rates as they warm up. By

bonding two different metals together, the coil bends, causing the needle to move. Bimetallic

thermometers are not as accurate as bulb (mercury or red spirit) thermometers. The dial thermometer

should require no calibration.

This unit is waterproof with double seals on the front and back of the unit and can be submersed in

300mm of water for 3 months and includes a 5 year warranty against corrosion.

The manufacturing process includes double plating: Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) Zirconium

plating over Chromium plating. Zirconium is a metal which has a high hardness and melting point. It

is corrosion resistant, and will never tarnish, discolor or scratch.

The surface of Zirconium Coating has the color of brass, with a mirror, hand polished finish. The

aluminous dial is suitable for various weather harsh conditions.

High quality stainless steel mounting screws with PVD Zirconium plating are included. All fasteners

are made of stainless steel, suitable for salt water environments.
