2. Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the Ambient Weather WS-152B 6" Contemporary Barometer. The

following is a guide for preparation, care and operation of your weather instrument.

3. Preparation

Your weather instrument includes a protective pad to prevent damage to the barometer mineral glass

case during shipment. Remove this protective pad and circular instruction sheet. The barometer is

ready to use.

4. Care and Cleaning

Avoid use of harsh household cleaners and coarse paper towels, which can scratch the bezel or lens.

Fingerprints and dirt may be removed the lenses and bezels with a soft cloth lightly dampened with a

mixture of water and mild dishwashing liquid. Be sure to dry the lens and bezel with a soft cloth

after cleaning.

5. Barometer Operation

4.1 How the aneroid barometer works

An aneroid barometer uses a small, flexible metal box called an aneroid cell. This aneroid capsule

(cell) is made from an alloy of beryllium and copper. The evacuated capsule is prevented from

collapsing by a strong spring. Small changes in external air pressure cause the cell to expand or

contract. This expansion and contraction drives mechanical levers such that the tiny movements of the

capsule are amplified and displayed on the face of the aneroid barometer. This model includes a

manually set gold needle which is used to mark the current measurement so a change can be seen. It

was invented by Blaise Pascal.

4.2 Reading the barometer

The ability if the barometer to indicate changes in barometric pressure makes it a useful instrument in

weather forecasting.

The weather forecast or pressure tendency is based on the rate of change of barometric pressure. In

general, when the pressure increases, the weather improves (sunny to partly cloudy) and when the

pressure decreases, the weather degrades (cloudy to rain).

The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours,

and varies from location to location. The tendency is simply a tool for projecting weather conditions

and is never to be relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather.

The barometer includes a manually set gold needle, which is used to mark the current measurement so

a change can be seen. Barometric readings should be taken daily. Remember that the rate of change

of barometric pressure is important in determining weather changes. You may want to take multiple

readings each day during periods of unstable weather conditions.

The following basic rule of thumb will hold true in using the barometer to predict weather conditions.

A fast rise in barometric pressure means good weather of short duration.

A rapid drop in barometric pressure means disturbances nearby, showers of short duration.

Regular elevation in barometric pressure usually will indicate a clear, dry weather conditions

(cold and dry in the winter).

A slow but continuous drop in barometric pressure will indicate persistent, bad weather.

Slow drops of 2-3 tenths mbar per 24 hours a depression of some distance away.

Drops of 1-2 tenths mbar per hour means disturbances nearby of short duration.

Steep drops of 6-10 tenths mbar within 4-5 hours period indicates coming rain and/or storm

with strong winds.

4.3 Absolute vs. Relative Pressure

To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure to

sea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level corrected

pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your

measured pressure.

Thus, your absolute pressure (measured at your location) may read 28.62 inHg (969 mb) at an altitude

of 1000 feet (305 m), but the relative pressure (sea-level) is 30.00 inHg (1016 mb).

The standard sea-level pressure is 29.92 in Hg (1013 mb). This is the average sea-level pressure

around the world. Relative pressure measurements greater than 29.92 inHg (1013 mb) are

considered high pressure and relative pressure measurements less than 29.92 inHg are considered low

pressure.

4.4 Barometer Calibration

Your barometer can not be pre-calibrated at the factory for your altitude, so you must calibrate the

barometer for your specific location.

To determine the relative pressure for your location, locate an official reporting station near you (the

internet is the best source for real time barometer conditions, such as Weather.com or

Wunderground.com), and set your weather station to match the official reporting station.

Your barometer will operate from -100 to 3,000 feet with reliable accuracy. Aneroid barometers have a

small screw on the back for sea-level calibration (reference Figure 1).

With a flat blade screwdriver, turn this screw in either direction slightly while looking at the indicator

needle. Turn clockwise (+) to increase the barometer and counter-clockwise (-) to decrease the

barometer.

Continue this procedure until the proper pressure reading is obtained. Do not turn the screw

counter-clockwise (to the left) too far, since the screw can fall out. If the barometer needle exceeds

the measurement range, do not continue to turn the set screw. This is likely occurring because you live

outside the barometer operating range.

After the initial calibration, no further adjustment will be required unless the barometer is moved to a

new geographic location.

6. Installation

To install the traditional weather station, hang the case on a wall with the hole built into the case. Only

install indoors, in a clean area.
