44 Capricorn II Plus User Manual
G. MEMORY FEATURE
The Memory Feature permits immediate display of high and low temperature, high
and low barometric pressure, peak wind gust and high average wind speed.
Note: When the unit is in the “calibrate” mode, the averaging will not be performed
and the memory will not be updated with high/low values.
1. Memory Display: To activate the Memory feature, move the Memory switch on
the front panel up to the “Display” position. The Capricorn II Plus will then
display for four seconds each the highest temperature, the highest barometric
pressure reading, and the highest wind gust. Then the lowest outdoor tem-
perature, the lowest barometric pressure reading, and the highest average
wind speed (four-second average) will be displayed for four seconds. A com-
plete rotation of high and low memory values will take approximately eight
seconds. Move the switch back to the “On” position to return the unit to
normal operation.
2. Memory Clear: To clear the Memory, move the Memory switch to the “Erase”
position. The Capricorn II Plus will immediately purge the previously stored
high/low readings and begin storing new information.
3. Current Display: Move the switch to the “On” position to return the unit to
normal operation.
H. MEMORY PROTECTION FEATURE
In order to retain stored Memory values in the event of a power failure or interrup-
tion, a 9-volt battery (user supplied) may be attached to the Capricorn II. Plus With
the battery properly attached, Memory values will be retained in the event of a power
loss.
Attach a high quality, alkaline 9 volt battery to the "Memory Keep Alive Battery”
terminals on the back panel. Be sure to match the positive and negative terminals
with the red (positive) and black (negative) wires of the supplied battery clip. If they
are reversed, memory will not be retained in the event of a power loss.
The Memory Protection feature only provides power to save the values stored in the
memory in case of power failure or power interruption. The battery does not provide
power for the instrument to continue operating during power failure.
The console will display erratic values when the 9V battery wears out and the
memory is displayed.
