Standard Barometer

-Medallion & Classic Series-

SETTING THE BAROMETER:

Consult your local weather report, or search online, for the current

barometer reading in your area. Once you've obtained the local

reading, locate the small set-screw recessed in the opening on the

back of the barometer. Using a small flat-head screwdriver,

carefully turn the set-screw in small increments while watching the

motion of the black pointer on the front of the instrument until the

pointer is aligned with the pressure reading for you area. It may be

necessary to tap the front of the glass after each turn of the

screwdriver to get the pointer to settle into place. This setting only

needs to be done once, unless you move the barometer to a

different altitude.

TO INSTALL:

The barometer can be flush mounted directly to the wall using the

brass screws provided, or by using drywall inserts from a local

hardware store if mounting on thin plaster or sheetrock walls.

Downeaster offers wood mounting boards for wall mounting, as

well as mantle stands for placing on a mantle, shelf, desk, or any

other flat horizontal surface. Call, or check our website, for the

available options.

OPERATION:

The Brass Reference Needle can be used to track the movement of

the Black Pointer. Turn the brass knob in the center of the glass so

the brass needle aligns with the black pointer. The next time you

check the barometer, tap the glass to release any tension in the

movement, then you will be able to determine whether the black

pointer has moved, how much it has moved, and in what direction.

Watch the rising and falling to get an idea of the incoming weather

patterns. In general, a Rising barometer indicates fair weather

approaching, while a Falling barometer indicates stormy weather is

on the way. However, it is possible for it to rain when the pressure

is high and for the sun to be out when the pressure is low. The

movement of the pointer (whether it is rising or falling, and how

fast it's changing) is more important than the actual reading. It is

also typical for the barometer to change very little for long periods

of time (days or even weeks), especially during the warmer months.
