PT014 Weather Station Alarm Clock

PT014 Weather Station Alarm Clock
with Barometer, Thermometer and Hygrometer

The PT014 Weather Station Alarm Clock is a quartz-controlled clock with a virtually silent sweep second hand plus a thermometer, barometer, and hygrometer. This time and weather station features clean, modern styling and a very modest price. We think it looks like it should cost a lot more that it does. At almost 3.5 inches wide and about 8 inches tall, the PT014 will look great on a table, shelf, or desktop in your home and in your office.

The PT014 has a silver plastic case with a black plastic front panel and top. The instrument faces are white with black numerals and markers. Unlike most analog quartz clocks, this one has a sweep second hand that's virtually silent (no ticking sound). It's a nice feature, especially on an instrument that's priced so reasonably.

This Weather Station has an analog quartz movement with a silent sweep second hand and a daily alarm. To set up the clock, you simply open the battery compartment on the back of the clock, insert a AA battery (alkaline recommended), and use the small knurled knob to set the time and the alarm time. (Pull the button out to set the time, and push it in to set the alarm.) To turn the alarm on, set the slide switch to ON. When the alarm sounds, set the switch back to OFF.

As you can see in the photo, this product is designed with plenty of room on the base for printing a company logo, a promotional or advertising message, or anything else you may want. An extremely reasonable price makes this weather station clock a perfect corporate promotional item or gift for special clients and employees.

Important Information About the Barometer:

The barometer dial on the PT014 indicates the air pressure in two different metric units. The outer scale is numbered in multiples of 10 hectopascals (hPa x 10). A reading of 101, for example, actually indicates 1010 hectopascals. The inner scale is numbered in centimeters of mercury (cmHg). To convert to inches of mercury (inHg), simply divide the reading by 2.54. A reading of 76 cmHg, for example, converts to 29.92 inHg.

Like all good analog barometers, you can calibrate this one by means of a screw that's accessible from the back of the unit. Listen to a local weather broadcast, and if you live in the USA, multiply the pressure (in inHg) by 2.54 to convert to cmHg. Then use a small screwdriver to set the pointer appropriately. By the way, the pressure reading you get on radio or television is always what the pressure in your area would be at sea-level.

The adjustable brass pointer on the barometer allows you to determine whether the air pressure is steady, rising, or falling. Simply turn the knurled knob on the front of the barometer so that the brass pointer is at the same position as the black pointer. When you return at a later time, note where the black pointer is in relation to the brass pointer.
