At the top of the display is
the indoor temperature and humidity display. Temperature degree
and humidity digits are fairly large at 1/2 inch (degree tenths are 1/4
inch). Temperature may be displayed in °F
or °C. Pressing the Memory button
displays the minimum and maximum temperature and
humidity readings experienced since midnight. Minimum and maximum values are
automatically reset every night at midnight. The
second display section indicates outdoor temperature and humidity, in
digits the same size as the indoor display. Temperature may be displayed
in °F
or °C. The Acu-Rite 00592W can receive and display temperature from up to three remote
sensors (selectable by the "CH" button).
One remote sensor is included, additional sensors are available
separately. Pressing the Memory button
displays the minimum and maximum temperature and
humidity readings experienced since midnight for any remote channel.
These minimum and maximum values are also automatically
reset every night at midnight. The
remote temperature sensor is white in color and about 3 1/4 inches tall,
2-1/4 inches wide, and 1 inch deep. The sensor has a small temperature display of
it's own. Below
the outdoor display is the date in 3/8 inch digits, followed by a day of
the week display. Below that is the moon phase display which will
display one of 8 icons representing the phase of the moon. Toward
the bottom of the display is the time display in 12 hour format. Hours and minutes
are in large 3/4 inch digits, seconds digits are a little less than 1/2
inch. The
Acu-Rite has alarm clock functionality with an 8 minute snooze
alarm. The alarm is an electronic crescendo alarm.
Low battery
indicators are included on the display to indicate a low battery
condition at either the main unit or the remote.
This product comes with a 1-year factory warranty.
Note:
This product has "atomic" clock functionality. Atomic, or
Radio Controlled clocks receive a radio signal to set themselves. Like
any radio receiver however, they may not be able to receive the signal
if they are in a building with a lot of steel in the structure, near
computers or other electrical equipment that may generate interference,
or if the weather is unsuitable. The signal they receive does not
propagate well during the day. That's the nature of the signal, not the
clock. These clocks are designed to catch the signal when they can,
generally in the middle of the night, calibrate themselves, and then run
quite accurately for days until they can catch another signal. When you
first put in the batteries, they will most likely not set themselves
until the middle of the night. That's normal. By morning, weather
permitting, it should be correct. Under less than ideal conditions, it
could take a few days. Daylight savings time changes may not be made the
first night if location and weather are not favorable.
