- Page 2 1. Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the Ambient Weather WS-YG501 Galileo Thermometer, Hygrometer and Glass Fluid Barometer. The following is a guide for preparation, care and operation of your traditional barometer and thermometer. 2. Preparation You will need food coloring to color the water in the storm glass. Any color is fine, based on personal taste.
- Page 3 Figure 1 4.2 Filling the storm glass Each Storm Glass is hand blown and accurately forecasts changes in the weather hours in advance. The Storm Glass should be filled with distilled water which decreases the chance of streaks being left on the glass.
- Page 4 5. Galileo Thermometer 5.1 How the Galileo thermometer works The Galileo thermometer consists of a sealed glass tube that is filled with paraffin oil and several floating bubbles. The bubbles are glass spheres filled with a colored liquid mixture. Attached to each bubble is a little metal tag that indicates a temperature. These metal tags are calibrated counterweights.
- Page 5 6. Hygrometer (Humidity Meter) 6.1 How the hygrometer works The hygrometer measures the indoor relative humidity. The sensor measures the air moisture by a sensitive mechanical coil spring that is bonded with a moisture absorbent material. Hygrometers register the percentage of water vapor present in the air, compared to the maximum amount that can be present at a given temperature.

California Proposition 65 WARNING: Use of the Ambient Weather Products can expose you to chemicals, including lead and lead compounds, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and bisphenol A (BPA), and phthalates DINP and/or DEHP, which are known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
- Page 7 "You could think of Proposition 65 more as a 'right to know' law than a pure product safety law." While using Ambient Weather Products as intended, we believe any potential exposure would be negligible or well within the "no significant risk" range. However, to ensure compliance with California law and our customers' right to know, we have elected to place the Proposition 65 warning signs on Ambient Weather Products.
