Please take this into consideration when choosing tablet or mounting locations. Make sure your display tablet is at least five feet away from any electronic device to avoid interference. Visit Ambient Weather Mounting Solutions for assistance and ideas for mounting your weather station:. Note: Batteries are not included. You will need 4 AA size batteries, Alkaline or Lithium batteries for colder climates.
Note: AC adapter is included. The adapter is a switching-type adapter and can generate a small amount of electrical interference with the RF reception in the tablet, when placed too close to the tablet. Please keep the tablet display at least 2 ft. Reference Figure 2. Note: You may need to back out the set screw first before sliding the vane onto the shaft. Note: The wind vane shaft does not spin as freely as the wind cups.
This is by design. The dampening prevents the wind vane from spinning with the slightest breeze, which will result in variable wind all of the time.
The added resistance allows the wind vane to change direction with 2 — 3 mph, providing a much better wind direction tracking. Reference Figure 3. Note: Y ou may need to back out the set screw first before sliding the cups onto the shaft.
Make sure the sensor array is level. Reference Figure 5. Install the rain gauge funnel. Rotate clockwise to attach the funnel to the sensor array. Reference Figure 6. Insert 2 x AA non-rechargeable batteries not included into the battery compartment.
The LED indicator on the back of the transmitter will turn on for four seconds, and then flash once every 16 seconds the sensor transmission update period. Note: If the LED does not light up, or stays on permanently, make sure the battery polarity is correct, or the batteries are fresh.
Do not install the batteries backwards. You can permanently damage the thermo-hygrometer. Note: We recommend lithium batteries for cold weather climates, but alkaline batteries are sufficient for most climates. We do not recommend rechargeable batteries. They have lower voltages, do not operate well at wide temperature ranges, and do not last as long, resulting in poorer reception.
Reference Figure 7. Use the bubble level next to the rain sensor to make sure the sensor array is completely level. If the sensor array is not level, the rain gauge, UV and solar radiation sensors will not measure properly.
Note: If you cannot read the bubble level due to mounting constraints, place straddle a line or ruler level across the top of the rain gauge for easier viewing. Align the compass rose direction upon final installation with a compass or GPS. Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and metal barriers. We recommend the following best practices for trouble free wireless communication. Keep the tablet several feet away from computer monitors and TVs.
If you have other MHz devices and communication is intermittent, try turning off these other devices for troubleshooting purposes. You may need to relocate the transmitters or receivers to avoid intermittent communication. Line of Sight Rating. This device is rated at feet line of sight no interference, barriers or walls but typically you will get feet maximum under most real-world installations, which include passing through barriers or walls.
Metal Barriers. Radio frequency will not pass through metal barriers such as aluminum. If you have metal siding, align the remote and tablet through a window to get a clear line of sight.
The following is a table of reception loss vs. After inserting the batteries, the remote sensor will display temperature, humidity and barometric pressure on the display, as shown in Figure 9. The WS supports up to 8 additional thermo-hygrometer sensors WH31 , which can be viewed on the display tablet and Internet. Note: Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Remove the battery door on the back of the transmitter s by sliding down the battery door, as shown in Figure BEFORE inserting the batteries, locate the dip switches on the inside cover of the lid of the transmitter. Channel Number: The WS supports up to eight transmitters.. To set each channel number the default is Channel 1 , change Dip Switches 1, 2 and 3, as referenced in Figure Switch in down position. Switch in up position. Repeat for the additional remote transmitters, verifying each remote is on a different channel.
The WS supports one PM2. For more information, please visit:. It is recommended you mount the remote sensor outside on a north facing wall, in a shaded area, at a height at or above the receiver. If a north facing wall is not possible, choose a shaded area, under an eve. Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature readings. Although the sensor is weatherproof, it is best to mount in a well-protected area, such as an eve.
Use a screw or nail to affix the remote sensor to the wall, as shown in Figure Hang the remote sensor up on string, as shown in Figure Note: Make sure the sensor is mounted vertically and not lying down on a flat surface. This will insure optimum reception. If the wind speed reads 0. For details, please visit: www. If the console is missing segments: Replace the batteries. If the problem persists, the console may need replacing. To replace in warranty, visit: www. If the wind and rain is not reporting to the display console, but temperature and humidity are.
To replace under warranty, please visit: www. Replace the batteries. If the sensor array is no longer blinking or flashing, the array must be replaced. If the temperature sensor is well without the accuracy range, the sensor array must be replaced. The WS weather station series back light is temporary and will not stay on permanently. This is because it would drain the batteries too quickly. The Ambient…. There are two versions of firmware: Console Firmware, which updates the console layout and general operation.
WiFi Firmware, which is specifically for the WiFi chip. To check the versions of firmware you are running, tap the Settings button four times to get to the Factory page…. To clear the rain totals, go to the calibration screen and manually set each rain increments to 0.
Press to Enter the Calibration or Correction Mode. Scroll down to adjust the daily,…. The WH31B is an 8-channel thermo-hygrometer sensor and is an accessory. It is designated as Channel sensor on AmbientWeather. The WH32B is a single channel thermo-hygrometer-barometer.
It is designated as the indoor sensor on AmbientWeather. It is included with some of our weather stations,…. Click Setup under Weather Server. If the problem persists, Reboot your router. If the WiFi icon is off: Power down and up the…. Yes, you can add as many consoles as you like. The WS works with three different consoles: WS, which came with your weather station.
