1. Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the Ambient Weather WS-1002-ARRAY OBSERVER Solar Powered

Wireless Weather Station.

Please note that the sensor array requires a receiver, and is not a standalone product.

The following user guide provides step by step instructions for installation, operation and

troubleshooting. To download the latest manual and additional troubleshooting tips, please visit:

1.1 What’s New with the WS-1002-WiFi Sensor Array

The WS-1001-WiFi uses rechargeable batteries for energy storage. The WS-1002-WiFi improves on

this design by charging a super capacitor instead of rechargeable batteries. The non-rechargeable

batteries provide back-up energy.

With the WS-1001-WiFi, the rechargeable batteries have a limited temperature range and prone to

leaking. This problem is resolved with the WS-1002-WiFI by using high quality non-rechargeable

batteries, like Lithium e2 Energizer batteries.

2. Warnings and Cautions

Warning: Any metal object may attract a lightning strike, including your weather station

mounting pole. Never install the weather station in a storm.

Warning: Installing your weather station in a high location may result in injury or death.

Perform as much of the initial check out and operation on the ground and inside a building or home.

Only install the weather station on a clear, dry day.

3. Pre-Installation Checkout and Site Survey

3.1 Pre Installation Checkout

Before installing your weather station in the permanent location, we recommend operating the weather

station for one week in a temporary location with easy access. This will allow you to check out all of

the functions, insure proper operation, and familiarize you with the weather station and calibration

procedures. This will also allow you to test the wireless range of the weather station.

3.2 Site Survey

Perform a site survey before installing the weather station. Consider the following:

1. You must clean the rain gauge every few months and change the batteries every 2-3 years.

Provide easy access to the weather station.

2. Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures. In general, install the sensor array at

least 5’ from any building, structure, ground, or roof top.

3. Avoid wind and rain obstructions. The rule of thumb is to install the sensor array at least four

times the distance of the height of the tallest obstruction. For example, if the building is 20’

tall, and the mounting pole is 6’ tall, install 4 x (20 –6)’= 56’ away.

4. Wireless Range. The radio communication between receiver and transmitter in an open field

can reach a distance of up to 330 feet, providing there are no interfering obstacles such as

buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines. Wireless signals will not penetrate metal

buildings. Under most conditions, the maximum wireless range is 100’.

5. Radio interference such as PCs, radios or TV sets can, in the worst case, entirely cut off radio

communication. Please take this into consideration when choosing console or mounting

locations. Make sure your display console is at least five feet away from any electronic device

to avoid interference.

4.3.1 Install Batteries

Reference Figure 6. Locate the battery door on the bottom of the sensor array. Turn the set screw

counter clockwise to open the battery compartment. Insert 3xAA batteries (not included). We

recommend a high quality battery, such as Lithium e2 Energizer batteries.

The LED indicator on the bottom of the sensor array will turn on for four seconds and normally flash

once per 16 seconds (the transmission update period).

Close the battery door and tighten the set screw.

4.3.2 Mount Weather Station

There are two methods for attaching your weather station:

A. Option 1: Mounting Clamps. Fasten the mounting pole to your mounting pole or bracket

(purchased separately) with the two U-bolts, mounting pole brackets and nuts, as shown in Figure 7.

Tighten the mounting pole to your mounting pole with the U-Bolt assembly. Make sure your

mounting pole is as far away from the temperature sensor as possible, as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7

B. Option 2: Swedged Pole Mount. Insert the swedged end of the included mounting pole

into the open end of any standard mounting pole solution (1 3/8” diameter) available from

Ambient Weather, as shown in Figure 8. For more information on mounting solutions, visit:

http://www.ambientweather.com/amwemoso.html

1. Reference Figure 9. Locate the four wind vane compass rose indicators of N, E, S, W

(representing North, East, South and West). Align the compass rose direction upon final

installation with a compass or GPS.
