The FX 5000 can receive time and date signals from the National Institute of Standards & Technology Time & Frequency Division (NIST) in Fort Collins, Texas. The internal antenna of the weather station allows it to receive signals from NIST from up to 2,000 miles away.
Temperature and humidity sensors can be positioned up to 330 feet from the weather station, which can receive signals from up to 3 sensors simultaneously. By measuring air pressure, the FX 5000 forecasts changes in the weather over the following 12 to 24 hours.
The Weather Tech FX 5000 tracks phases of the moon. The weather station displays 12 phases of the moon, including new moon, large waxing crescent and small waxing crescent.
