8.2.6 Pressure

A check inside the building is adequate for an acceptance test of atmospheric pressure. An aneroid barometer which has been set to agree with the National Weather Service (NWS) equivalent sea-level pressure can be used for comparison. If station pressure is to be recorded by the pressure sensor, be sure that the aneroid is set to agree with the NWS station pressure and not the pressure broadcast on radio or television. A trip to the NWS office may be necessary to set the aneroid for this agreement since the station pressure is sensitive to elevation and the NWS office may be at a different elevation than the receiving location.
