Page 2: Introduction
1. Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the Ambient Weather WS-1173 Advanced Weather Station with Temperature, Humidity, Barometer, Advanced Forecasting, Sunrise, Sunset, and Moon Phase. The following user guide provides step by step instructions for installation, operation and troubleshooting. -
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 4: Display Console Layout
Once the radio controlled time is received the WWVB icon will be present above the time (reference Figure 2). 2.4.2 Display Console Layout Note: The following illustration shows the full segments of the LCD for description purposes only and will not appear like this during normal operation. Figure 2 1. -

4.1 Quick Display Mode While in Normal Mode, press the SET key (do not hold) to enter the Quick Display Mode as follows (once for outdoor temperature and dew point and twice for absolute pressure and relative pressure): Display Outdoor Temperature and Dew Point. Press the MIN/MAX or + key to toggle between outdoor temperature and dew point. - Page 7 Hours from Time Zone Cities -3 --- São Paulo, Brazil -2 AT: Azores Azores, Cape Verde Islands -1 WAT: West Africa 0 GMT: Greenwich Mean London, England WET: Western European 1 CET: Central European Paris, France 2 EET: Eastern European Athens, Greece 3 BT: Baghdad Moscow, Russia...

Page 8: Setting Barometric Pressure
Press the ALARM key again to adjust the longitude decimal number. Press the + key or MIN/MAX key to adjust the longitude decimal number up or down. Note: North America is located in the western hemisphere. Therefore, there is no need to change this setting for the United States and Canada. -
Page 9: Alarm Mode
the relative pressure is 30.00 inHg (1016 mb). The standard sea-level pressure is 29.92 in Hg (1013 mb). This is the average sea-level pressure around the world. Relative pressure measurements greater than 29.92 inHg (1013 mb) are considered high pressure and relative pressure measurements less than 29.92 inHg are considered low pressure. -

indicating the alarm function has been enabled). Press the SET key to confirm the setting and continue pressing the SET key to toggle through each alarm mode until it returns to the normal display mode. Press the SNOOZE key or wait 10 seconds, and the alarm mode will return to the normal mode. 4.3.3 Cancelling the Alarm When an alarm condition has been activated, the specific alarm will sound and flash for 120 seconds. -

In the maximum reading Mode, press the + key to display the maximum values with the time and date time stamp at which the maximum value occurred (the maximum value will begin flashing). 1. Indoor humidity maximum 2. Indoor temperature maximum 3. -
Page 12: Weather Tendency Indicator
4.5.3 Weather tendency indicator The weather tendency arrow is located between the weather icons to show the air pressure tendency and provide a forecast based on increasing or decreasing air pressure. The arrow pointing to the right indicates that the air pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve. -
Page 13: Pressure Graph
Locations that experience frequent changes in air pressure require a higher setting compared to locations where the air pressure is typically stagnant. 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. -
Page 14: Glossary Of Terms
Latitude: Figure 5 5. Glossary of Terms Term Definition Absolute Barometric Relative barometric pressure, corrected to sea-level. To compare Pressure pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure to sea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level corrected pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your measured pressure. -
