Description of Honeywell PCR426W Weather Forecaster with Dual Projection and Atomic Clock

The PCR426W allows you to monitor temperatures in up to three remote locations at the same time, while simultaneously providing you with the most accurate timekeeping available. This system comes with a compact main display unit and a single, water-resistant Honeywell TS13C remote temperature sensor that can be used both indoors and out. And with an effective transmission range of up to 100 feet, you can install the remote sensor most anywhere in or near the house. If you need to know the temperature in multiple locations, you can purchase up to two more TS13C remote sensors and use them all with the same main display unit. The main unit even includes a remote channel auto-scan function so you don't have to cycle through multiple sensors manually. And not only does this system display the temperature, but provides you with a 12- to 24-hour weather forecast with six easy-to-interpret, large graphical icons.

The PCR426W utilizes easy-to-read digits on a bright, red backlit LCD display that allows you to read its information at a glance day or night. The screen displays the current temperatures at both the main display, and the remote sensor location in either Celsius or Fahrenheit depending upon your selection. As an added convenience, this system contains a programmable ice warning alarm, which lets you know when a frost is predicted so you can take precautions. Users will also delight in this system's wide outdoor temperature range, which can range from -38 to 158 degrees F when powered by lithium batteries, making it suitable for virtually any application. Perhaps one of the coolest features on the PCR426W though is its dual projection display that projects the time, graphical weather forecast, and remote sensor temperature on your wall or ceiling. The projection display is operated via touch-key programming, and includes a focus adjustment, an enhanced backlight, and an image control with a 180-degree rotation or flip.

More than just a personal weather station, the PCR426W includes a built-in clock that displays the current time in 12-hour format, and features a light sensor that detects low-light conditions and lights up the LCD display. And this clock really will display the current time, since it receives radio signals from the U.S. Atomic Clock in Fort Collins, Colorado. Not only does this consistently adjust the clock to within one second of official U.S. government, but automatically adjusts the time for Daylight Savings Time as well. What's more, this clock comes with dual alarms that feature a crescendo tone and a snooze function, as well as a calendar with month and day readings in English, Spanish, and French. As convenient as it is accurate, the display unit fits easily on your desktop and can go wherever you do. The main display can be plugged in to the included AC/DC power adapter to allow continuous projection, or can run on four AA batteries (not included) when you are traveling. The remote sensor runs on two AA batteries (not included), while all units are backed by a manufacturer's one-year warranty.
