- Measuring Cycle: One second Windspeed:
- Balanced impeller is integrated into wind meter
- The impeller is magnatized, producing a magnetic field when rotating which is measured internally
- Damage to the impeller is unlikely due to the small opening, but repair can be performed Temperature:
- Internal thermometer is attached to the stainless steel back
- Temperature adjusts quickly, although drastic temperature changes may require several minutes for accuracy
- Temperature is read quickly by touching the back to an object of the same temperature
- Water temperature is read quickly by submerging the unit briefly DIGITAL COMPASS:
- Designed to be used in verticle position
- Will display windspeed and compass simultaneously
- Electronic calibration before use ensures absolute precision (easy process)
- Calibration is essential for proper use
- Accurate wind direction can be found in this way....a world exclusive feature! Altitude:
- Altitude is based on an initial set altitude and a change in air pressure (this is true of ALL altimeters)
- Drastic air pressure variance (weather front) will impact altitude readings (usually occurs over 12+ hours)
- Several seconds is needed to adjust to new altitude
- The highest accuracy is acheived when the altitude is properly set, a change in altitude is more than 10 feet, and several seconds are allowed for adjustment
- For example, the Xplorer 4 may be moved from one level of a house to another, and a change of 10 feet will be recorded (standard ceiling height)
- Altitude and air pressure are measured on the same sensor, and adjusting one will adjust the other
- Altitude history is recorded every hour for the past 48 hours Air Pressure:
- Air pressure is read in either "relative" or "absolute" air pressure
- Absolute air pressure is a precisely defined measurement, just like temperature
- Absolute air pressure is measured within .10 inHg, and cannot be adjusted
- Relative air pressure is the most common unit used in the US
- Relative air pressure factors out the change in elevation, essentailly calculating the air pressure at sea level
- Relative air pressure is adjusted to reflect current altitude
- Once the relative air pressure is set, if no changes to altitude occur the accuracy is within 0.01 inHg
- The most important factor in changing weather is the change in air pressure
- Rising air pressure indicates better weather, falling air pressure indicates worsenign weather
- With the air pressure history, one can accurately predict future weather
- Air pressure history is recorded every hour for the past 48 hours, although the past 6-12 hours is most important Sensitive Impeller:
The impeller on the Xplorer series is precisely balanced to provide instant and accurate readings of windspeed from the lightest breeze to hurricane-force winds. The integrated impeller is factory replaceable, although damage is unlikely due to the small opening. The impeller creates a magnetic field during rotation that is registered by the integrated sealed electronics to calculate windspeed. Bold LCD:
The LCD is designed to be read easily from any angle with its large and bold font. Windspeed is displayed in the top segment in most modes, with a second measurement in the lower section. Icons show the mode and what measurement unit is used. The EL backlight, activated by a press of the button, is ideal for use in dim light. All Xplorer models share the same LCD design for continuity. Simple Operation:
Switching modes and measuring units is easily done with one button. All units of measure are available for each mode, making this truly a world-wide product. Swiss Design:
The Swiss are well known for their attention to detail and quality products, and the Skywatch Xplorer series is no exception. Designed around the concept of a watch, these compact windmeters feature details such as a stainless steel back with rubber gasket and high-impact plastic case to attain a beautiful yet rugged design. Once a Skywatch Xplorer is in your hands, you will know you are holding a quality instrument. Internal Sensors:
The Skywatch Xplorer is a dependable and rugged instrument. All sensors are contained in the water-tight body, yet still measure the environment quickly and accurately. Wind Direction:
A first in digital windmeters! The integrated digital compass functions when the unit is vertical while measuring windspeed. Wind direction can be found quickly by facing the unit into the wind, finding the strongest reading, and looking at the degrees off North. The sensitive Swiss compass is easily calibrated, maintaining an exact reading every time.
