1. Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Ambient Weather WS-1200 OBSERVER Solar Powered Wireless
Weather Station. 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:
1.1 What's New with the WS-1201
The WS-1200 uses rechargeable batteries for energy storage. The WS-1201 improves on this design
by charging a super capacitor instead of rechargeable batteries. The non-rechargeable batteries provide
back-up energy.
With the WS-1200, the rechargeable batteries have a limited temperature range and prone to leaking.
This problem is resolved with the WS-1201 by using high quality non-rechargeable batteries, like
Lithium e2 Energizer batteries.
2. Warnings and Cautions
Warning: Any metal object may attract a lightning strike, including your weather station
mounting pole. Never install the weather station in a storm.
Warning: Installing your weather station in a high location may result in injury or death.
Perform as much of the initial check out and operation on the ground and inside a building or home.
Only install the weather station on a clear, dry day.
3. Quick Start Guide
Although the manual is comprehensive, much of the information contained may be intuitive. In
addition, the manual does not flow properly because the sections are organized by components.
