5.3.6 Install Mounting Pole
Reference Figure 7. The mounting assembly includes two U-Bolts and a bracket that tightens around
a 1 to 2" diameter pole (not included) using the four U-Bolt nuts.
(a)
Use the bubble level next to the rain sensor to make sure the sensor array is completely level. If the
sensor array is not level, the rain gauge, UV and solar radiation sensors will not measure properly.
Note: If you cannot read the bubble level due to mounting constraints, place straddle a line or
ruler level across the top of the rain gauge for easier viewing.
5.3.6.1 Aligning the Wind Direction
Locate the four-wind vane compass rose indicators of N, E, S, W (representing North, East, South and
West) at the base of the wind vane. Align the compass rose direction upon final installation with a
compass or GPS.
5.5 Best Practices for Wireless Communication
Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and metal barriers. We
recommend the following best practices for trouble free wireless communication.
1. Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Keep the tablet several feet away from computer
monitors and TVs.
2. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). If you have other 915 MHz devices and
communication is intermittent, try turning off these other devices for troubleshooting
purposes. You may need to relocate the transmitters or receivers to avoid intermittent
communication.
3. Line of Sight Rating. This device is rated at 300 feet line of sight (no interference, barriers or
walls) but typically you will get 100 feet maximum under most real-world installations,
which include passing through barriers or walls.
4. Metal Barriers. Radio frequency will not pass through metal barriers such as aluminum

Do you have a question about the WS-2000 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Ws 2000 display not connected to weather underground or ambient weather networks. I can’t get any assistance from weather underground. Can you help me?
If the Ambient Weather WS-2000 display is not connecting to Weather Underground or Ambient Weather networks, follow these steps:
1. Check Wi-Fi Connection: Ensure the display is connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. The WS-2000 does not support guest networks.
2. Look for Exclamation Mark (!): If an exclamation mark appears next to the Wi-Fi icon, the display is connected to Wi-Fi but not to the Internet.
3. Confirm Internet Access: Make sure your router’s 2.4 GHz band is connected to the Internet.
4. Reboot Router: If the issue persists, restart your router.
5. Verify Firmware: Check if the Wi-Fi firmware is updated using the awnet app. If the WS-2000 is not listed in the app, this step may not be possible.
6. Factory Reset: If other steps fail, perform a factory reset on the console and re-enter your Wi-Fi credentials after disabling the 5 GHz band.
These steps should help resolve the connection issue.

how do you delete a sensor
To delete a sensor on the Ambient Weather WS-2000, you need to re-register the outdoor transmitter. This process removes the previous sensor registration. Follow these steps:
1. Highlight the "Re-register Transmitter Outdoor" field.
2. Press the select key to open the message box: "Are you sure you want to register the new outdoor transmitter?"
3. Select "Yes" to confirm.
This action will remove the previous sensor and allow a new one to be registered.

When plugging in WS-2000 it just beeps with "Starting" flashing on screen.
The Ambient Weather WS-2000 beeps and displays "Starting" when plugged in due to a possible issue with the boot process. This can be caused by a corrupted bootloader, a failed firmware flash, or an inadequate power supply that drops voltage under load. If resetting the device and replacing the internal battery do not fix it, the display unit or internal components may be damaged.
