An unstable mounting solution could be the reason. If the mounting pole sways, it may cause the tipping bucket to incorrectly register rainfall. Ensure you have a stable and level mounting solution.
Why does my Ambient Weather WS-1900A temperature sensor read too high during the day?
Ensure that the sensor array is not near heat generating sources such as buildings, pavement, walls, or air conditioning units. If installation issues persist, use the calibration feature to offset radiant heat sources.
Why is the wind vane on my Ambient Weather Weather Station not spinning as freely as the wind cups?
This is intentional. The dampening prevents the wind vane from spinning with the slightest breeze, which would cause constantly variable wind readings. The added resistance allows the wind vane to accurately track direction changes with winds of 2-3 mph or greater.
What to do if the relative pressure on my Ambient Weather WS-1900A does not agree with an official reporting station?
First, make sure you are viewing the relative pressure and not the absolute pressure. Then, properly calibrate the sensor to an official local weather station.
What to do if my Ambient Weather WS-1900A Weather Station outdoor sensor array does not communicate with the display console?
First, reset the console by pressing the reset button for 3 seconds with an open-ended paperclip to discharge the voltage. Remove the batteries and wait one minute while covering the solar panel to drain any remaining voltage. Then, reinsert the batteries and resync the console with the sensor array, keeping them about 10 feet apart. Alternatively, power cycle the console by removing AC power and batteries, waiting 10 seconds, and then reinserting them. If the LED on the sensor array is not flashing every 16 seconds, replace the batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
