1. Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the Ambient Weather WS-1172 Advanced Weather Station with Temperature, Humidity, Barometer and Advanced Forecasting. 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: http://ambientweather.wikispaces.com/ws1172... -
Page 3: Display Console Set Up
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). -

Page 5: Sensor Operation Verification
2.4.3 Sensor Operation Verification Verify the indoor and outdoor humidity match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 10’ apart). The sensors should be within 10% (the accuracy is ± 5%). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize. Verify the indoor and outdoor temperature match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 10’... -

4.2 Set (Program) Mode While in Normal Mode, press and hold the SET key for at least three seconds to enter the Set Mode. The first setting will begin flashing. You can press the SET key again to skip any step, as defined below. - Page 7 Hours from Time Zone Cities 10 GST: Guam Standard Sydney 11 --- Magadan 12 IDLE: International Date Line East Wellington, New Zealand NZST: New Zealand Standard 12/24 Hour Format. Press the SET key again to adjust the 12/24 hour format setting. Press the + key to change between 12 hour and 24 hour format.

Page 8: Setting Barometric Pressure
To calibrate humidity, you will need an accurate source, such as a sling psychrometer or Humidipaks One Step Calibration kit, available from Ambient Weather, which uses a salt bath. To calibrate indoor humidity, in the Set Mode with indoor humidity flashing, press the + key or Version 1.0... -
Page 9: Alarm Mode
MIN/MAX key to increase or decrease the humidity setting (in increments of 1%) to match the calibrated or known humidity source. To return the indoor humidity to the measured value, press and hold the SET key for 3 seconds and the humidity will return to the uncalibrated value. Note: The remote (outdoor) thermo-hygrometer will always display the measured humidity level and not the calibrated humidity level. -
Page 10: Cancelling The Alarm
When an alarm has been set, the alarm icon will be displayed . When an alarm condition sounds, the unit will beep and the alarm icon will flash. Press the SNOOZE key, and the alarm will stop beeping and the alarm icon will continue to flash, and sound again in 10 minutes. -

In the maximum (or minimum) reading Mode, press the + key to display the specific maximum (or minimum) value you wish to reset. This value will begin flashing with the time and date time stamp at which the maximum (or minimum) value occurred. Select the + key again to proceed to the next parameter, in the following order: 1. -
Page 12: Storm Threshold Indicator
the weather tendency indicator (animated arrows) will flash for three hours, indicating the weather is expected to change. If the weather conditions become stable and no new weather change conditions are met, then the arrows will be fixed. Example 1: Pressure is decreasing, weather is deteriorating. Example 2: Pressure is increasing, weather is improving. -
Page 13: Pressure Graph
4.5.6 Pressure Graph Note: The weather station bar graph flashes from right to left to prevent screen burn in. This feature cannot be turned off. The pressure graph displays the barometric pressure for the last 24 hours. Each bar represents three hours. -
