Easy to operate and sufficiently accurate for yachting use

Accurate and sensitive barometer
Used to have atmospheric pressure variations. A small regret that it does not exist in 24 V, which would save me from powering it via an inverter that I disconnect to save the batteries and which makes me lose the recent history when I restart it.

for the moment he serves me as a barometer and I find his history very interesting. During crossings it allows to follow the evolution of the weather compared to a forecast recorded at the beginning

replacement of my trusted meteostar 2000 and it does it's job even better.

Too bad that the manual is only in English and that there is no mounting on stirrup. The handling is not very simple and the product remains expensive. That said, it is, to my knowledge, the only reliable electronic baro to offer the pressure curve for an affordable price.

Nice device with good readability. However, the hour division in the history display disturbs me, one can not recognize the individual days well. Furthermore, I would like a small buffer capacitor, which for a short time bridged the power supply at interruption, in order not to have to re-enter the time and 24-hour format. Otherwise and especially priced an attractive part.

Good device, essential for a professional weather assessment.

I use the meteoman without wind instrument. The setting is simple and through the integrated online help easy (if one can speak English). Only negative point: the barograph only dissolves in 0.5 mbar steps to make all my weather devices at home in 0.1 HPa steps. The clock does not display seconds, a pity, is therefore not necessary for astronavigation, for example. For some years, the official air pressure unit is, by the way, hecto-pascal (HPa), and not more millibar ... Perhaps it could be synonymous times the English hold it, even if the displayed value is ultimately the same ...

I hope the barometer is good
I'm dissapointed with this. It has a big display that displays just 2 things with very big digits. Consumes a lot of power - 1.1W (100mA current) when display light is on, 0.5W (44mA) with light off. Measured voltage is non sense - for a 12.5V source, it displays 11.8 - 12.0V. Temperature measurement is stupid - in a 21'C room, it shows 18'C when out of standby to 23'C if you keep it on; the sensor is inside the case and the electronics gets hot. I hope the barometer works, at least.

The device works well, but has three decisive shortcomings: 1. In operation, it produces a beeping sound that only stops in standby mode. Then you can only activate it after several key presses to read it. 2. The reading angle is relatively small. 3. The device generates broadband interference frequencies in the shortwave range. Conclusion: I will continue to operate my Wempe meteograph. Its annual operating costs of over EUR 30 are disadvantageous in the long term, but it is more suitable to see the air pressure curve as it passes. Since I only recognized the disadvantages when the device was already permanently installed, it remains on board as a replacement.
