2. Getting Started

The WS-0100 weather station consists of a display console (receiver), and a thermo-hygrometer

(remote transmitter).

2.1 Parts List

QTY

Item

Display Console

Frame Dimensions (LxWxH): 4.5 x 2.5 x 1.0 in

LCD Dimensions (LxW): 2.25 x 1.75”

Thermo-hygrometer transmitter (WH-2) with mounting bracket

Dimensions (LxWxH): 3.5” x 2.5” x 0.9”

2.2 Recommend Tools

Philips screwdriver (precision)

Drill for mounting bracket

2.3 Thermo-Hygrometer Sensor Set Up

Note: To avoid permanent damage, please take note of the battery polarity before inserting the

batteries.

Remove the battery door on the back of the sensor with a Philips screwdriver (there is only one screw,

at the bottom of the unit). Insert two AAA batteries as shown in Figure 1 (we recommend lithium

batteries for cold weather climates, but alkaline batteries are sufficient for most climates).

Replace the battery door and set screw. Note that the temperature and humidity will be displayed on

the LCD display. Looking at the back of the unit from left to right, the polarity is (-) (+) for the top

battery and (+) (-) for the bottom battery.

Figure 1

2.4 Display Console Set Up

Note: To avoid permanent damage, please take note of the battery polarity before inserting the

batteries.

Move the remote thermo-hygrometer at least 10’ away from the display console (if the sensor is too

close, it may not be received by the display console).

Remove the battery door on the back of the display. Insert two AA (alkaline or lithium, avoid

rechargeable) batteries in the back of the display console.

All of the LCD segments will light up for a few seconds to verify all segments are operating properly.

Replace the battery door, and fold out the desk stand and place the console in the upright position.

The console will instantly display indoor temperature, date and time. The outdoor temperature and

humidity will display --, then update on the display within a few minutes. Do not touch any buttons

until the remote sensor reports in, otherwise the remote sensor search mode will be terminated, and

you must power down and power up the console again. When the remote sensor data has been

received, the console will automatically switch to the normal mode, and all further settings can be

performed.

If the remote does not update, please reference the troubleshooting guide in Section 7.

2.5 Sensor Operation Verification

Verify the indoor and outdoor temperature match closely with the console and sensor array in the same

location (about 10’ apart). The sensors should be within 4°F (the accuracy is ± 2°F). Allow about 30

minutes for both sensors to stabilize.

3. Remote Sensor Installation

It is recommended you mount the remote sensor on a north facing wall, in a shaded area. Direct

sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature readings. Although the sensor is

water resistant, it is best to mount in a well protected area, such as an eve.

Use 3 screws to affix the mounting bracket to the wall. Connect the remote sensor to the wall

bracket with a precision screwdriver.

Figure 3

4. Console Operation

Note: After 30 seconds of inactivity, the display will automatically revert to the normal display

mode (automatic time out).

4.1 Set Time and Units

Note: In 12 hour mode (USA), the temperature will display °F. In 24 hour mode, the temperature

will display °C.

Note: The SET and MIN/MAX functions use the same button and are used interchangeably. The

RESET and CH/+ functions use the same button and are used interchangeably.

Press the SET key for two seconds, and 12H will flash. Press the CH/+ key to switch between the 24

hour (24H) and 12 hour (12H) time display mode. Press the SET key to confirm 12/24 hour format

selection.

The hour will begin flashing. Press the CH/+ key to advance the hour. Note that the PM icon will be

displayed for afternoon hours. Press and hold the CH/+ key to advance rapidly. Press the SET key

to confirm the hour selection.

The minute will begin flashing. Press the CH/+ key to advance the minute. Press and hold the CH/+

key to advance rapidly. Press the SET key to confirm the hour selection.

4.2 Min/Max Mode

While in Normal Mode, press the MIN/MAX key to enter the minimum mode, and the MIN icon and

minimum records will be displayed at the bottom of the display. Press and hold the RESET key for

two seconds to reset the minimum values to the current values.

Press the MIN/MAX key to enter the maximum mode, and the MAX icon and maximum records will

be displayed. Press and hold the RESET key for two seconds or more to reset the maximum values to

the current values.

Press MIN/MAX key again to return the Normal Mode.

4.3 Multi-Channel Operation

The WS-0100 supports up to three WH-2C remote thermo-hygrometers (one is included). The

optional sensors can be purchased atAmbientWeather.com.

4.3.1 Sensor Initialization

Power up the sensors and console in the following order:

1. Power up the console. Do not touch any of the buttons, as described in Section 2.4.

2. Power up the first remote thermo-hygrometer as described in Section 2.5. Wait until the

sensor reports into the console.

3. Power up the second remote thermo-hygrometer as described in Section 2.5. Wait until the

sensor reports to the console. The first sensor will be designated as Channel 1 and the second

sensor will be designated as Channel 2.

4. Power up the third remote thermo-hygrometer as described in Section 2.5. Wait until the

sensor reports to the console. The third sensor will be designated as Channel 3. The display

will switch between each sensor until you exit the initialization state by pressing any button.

4.3.2 Sensor Accuracy Note

Verify the temperature values match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location

(about 10’ apart). The sensors should be within 4°F (the accuracy is ± 2°F).

Humidity is a particularly difficult parameter to measure. Verify the humidity values match closely

with the sensor array in the same location (about 10’ apart). The sensors should be within 10%

humidity (the accuracy is ± 5%).

Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize.

4.3.3 Viewing the 3 Sensor Channels

To view the 3 sensor channels, select the CH/+ button. The minimum and maximum can be viewed

for each channel as specified in Section 4.2.

5. Glossary of Terms

Term

Definition

Accuracy

Accuracy is defined as the ability of a measurement to match the actual

value of the quantity being measured.

Hygrometer

A hygrometer is a device that measures relative humidity. Relative

humidity is a term used to describe the amount or percentage of water

vapor that exists in air.

Range

Range is defined as the amount or extent a value can be measured.

Problem

Solution

Wireless remote (thermo-hygrometer) not

reporting in to console.

There are dashes on the display console.

The maximum line of sight communication range is

300’. Move the sensor assembly closer to the display

console.

If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 10’), move

the sensor assembly away from the display console.

Cycle power on the console. The console may have

exited the search mode.

Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote

thermo-hygrometer. For cold weather environments,

install lithium batteries.

Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting

through solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth

barrier (down a hill).

Move the display console around electrical noise

generating devices, such as computers, TVs and other

wireless transmitters or receivers.

Problem

Solution

Move the remote sensor to a higher location. Move the

remote sensor to a closer location.

Radio Frequency (RF) Sensors cannot transmit through

metal barriers (example, aluminum siding) or multiple,

thick walls.

Temperature sensor reads too high in the

day time.

Make sure the thermo-hygrometer is mounted in a

shaded area on the north facing wall. Consider the

following radiation shield if this is not possible:

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

Indoor and Outdoor Temperature do not

agree

Allow up to 30 minutes for the sensors to stabilize due to

signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor temperature

sensors should agree within 4 °F (the sensor accuracy is

± 2 °F)

Multi-channel Humidity do not agree

Allow up to 30 minutes for the sensors to stabilize due to

signal filtering. The multi-channel sensors should agree

within 10% (the sensor accuracy is ± 5%)

Humidity is reading 20% at low humidity

or 95% at high humidity

The humidity sensor is out of range (20 to 95%)

Display console contrast is weak

Replace console batteries with a fresh set of batteries.
