2. Getting Started
Note: The power up sequence must be performed in the order shown in this section (remote transmitter first, Display Console second).
The WS-1172 weather station consists of a display console (receiver), and a thermo-hygrometer (remote transmitter).
2.1 Parts List
| QTY | Item |
|---|---|
| 1 | Display Console Frame Dimensions (LxWxH): 7.25 x 4 x 1.25 in LCD Dimensions (LxW): 4.25 x 2.50" |
| 1 | Thermo-hygrometer transmitter (WH2B) with mounting bracket Dimensions (LxWxH): 3.5" x 2.5" x 0.9" |
2.2 Recommended Tools
- Philips precision screwdriver
- Drill for mounting bracket
2.3 Thermo-Hygrometer Sensor Set Up
Note: To avoid permanent damage, please take note of the battery polarity before inserting the batteries.
Remove the battery door on the back of the sensor with a Philips screwdriver (there is only one screw, at the bottom of the unit). Insert two AAA batteries as shown in Figure 1 (we recommend lithium batteries for cold weather climates, but alkaline batteries are sufficient for most climates).
Replace the battery door and set screw. Note that the temperature and humidity will be displayed on the LCD display. Looking at the back of the unit from left to right, the polarity is (-) (+) for the top battery and (+) (-) for the bottom battery.
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).
Remove the battery door on the back of the display. Insert three AA (alkaline or lithium, avoid rechargeable) batteries in the back of the display console. Looking at the back of the unit (left to right), the polarity is (+) (-) for the top battery, (-) (+) for the middle battery and (+) (-) for the bottom battery.
The display will beep once and all of the LCD segments will light up for a few seconds to verify all segments are operating properly.
Replace the battery door, and fold out the desk stand and place the console in the upright position.
The console will instantly display indoor temperature, humidity, barometer, tendency, date and time. The outdoor temperature and humidity will update on the display within a few minutes. Do not touch any buttons until the remote sensor reports in, otherwise the remote sensor search mode will be terminated. When the remote sensor data has been received, the console will automatically switch to the normal mode, and all further settings can be performed.
If the remote does not update, please reference the troubleshooting guide in Section 7.
2.4.1 Radio Controlled Clock (RCC)
The RCC is received by the remote sensor and transmitted to the main console to improve reception. After the remote sensor is powered up, the sensor will transmit weather data for 30 seconds, and then the sensor will begin radio controlled clock (RCC) reception. During the RCC time reception period (maximum 10 minutes), no weather data will be transmitted to avoid interference.
If the signal reception is not successful within 1 minute, the signal search will be cancelled and will automatically resume every two hours until the signal is successfully captured. The regular RF link will resume once RCC reception routine is finished. In some locations, it may take a couple of days to receive the radio control signal.

2.4.3 Sensor Operation Verification
Verify the indoor and outdoor humidity match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 10' apart). The sensors should be within 10% (the accuracy is ± 5%). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize.
Verify the indoor and outdoor temperature match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about 10' apart). The sensors should be within 4°F (the accuracy is ± 2°F). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize.
3. Remote Sensor Installation
It is recommended you mount the remote sensor on a north facing wall, in a shaded area. Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature readings. Although the sensor is water resistant, it is best to mount in a well protected area, such as an eve.
Use 3 screws to affix the mounting bracket to the wall with a precision screwdriver. Connect the remote sensor to the wall bracket by snapping into place.

4.2.1 Setting Barometric Pressure
Note: This is a continuation of the previous section. To enter this mode, you must start at the beginning of this section.
The display console displays two different pressures: absolute (measured) and relative (corrected to sea-level).
To compare 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.
Thus, your absolute pressure may read 28.62 inHg (969 mb) at an altitude of 1000 feet (305 m), but 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.
To determine the relative pressure for your location, locate an official reporting station near you (the internet is the best source for real time barometer conditions, such as Weather.com or Wunderground.com), and set your weather station to match the official reporting station.
To change the relative pressure in the SET mode, press the [plus-key] or [min/max-key] to increase or decrease the relative pressure setting to match the official reporting station.
4.2.2 Setting Calibrated Humidity
Note: This is a continuation of the previous section. To enter this mode, you must start at the beginning of this section.
The display console allows you to calibrate both the indoor and outdoor humidity. Humidity is a difficult parameter to measure accurately and drifts over time. The calibration feature allows you to zero out this error. To calibrate humidity, you will need an accurate source, such as a sling psychrometer or Humidipaks One Step Calibration kit, available from Ambient Weather, which uses a salt bath.
To calibrate indoor humidity, in the Set Mode with indoor humidity flashing, press the [plus-key] or
4.3 Alarm Mode

In the alarm mode, Press the [plus-key] or [min/max-key] to change or scroll the alarm value.
Hold the [plus-key] or [min/max-key] for 3 seconds to change the number rapidly. Press the [alarm-key] to select the alarm on or off (if alarm is enabled, the [speaker-icon] on the LCD will be turned on 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.
4.3.3 Cancelling the Alarm
When an alarm has been set, the alarm icon [alarm-sound] will be displayed. When an alarm condition sounds, the unit will beep and the alarm icon will flash.
Press the [snooze/light-key], and the alarm will stop beeping and the alarm icon will continue to flash, and sound again in 10 minutes.
When an alarm condition has been activated, the specific alarm will sound and flash for 120 seconds. Press any key (other than the [snooze/light-key]) to cancel the alarm.
When an alarm condition is activated again within 10 minutes, the alarm will not sound but will continue to flash until the weather condition is stable. This feature is useful to avoid repeated triggering for the same alarm value.
The alarm will reset automatically once the value has fallen below the set value, or if a new value is entered.
4.3.4 Outdoor Alarm – Temperature vs. Dew Point
When the outdoor weather alarm has been triggered, it will flash on the LCD display and the general outdoor alarm icon and high/low alarm icon will flash. For example, in the outdoor temperature display mode, when dew point high alarm is triggered the DEW POINT icon will flash along with general outdoor alarm icon and high alarm icon, indicating that the current alarm source is from dew point, as shown in Figure 4.

Press [min/max-key] again to enter the minimum mode, and the MIN icon and minimum records will be displayed and begin flashing.
Press [min/max-key] again to return the Normal Mode.
In the maximum (or minimum) reading Mode, press the [plus-key] to display the specific maximum (or minimum) value you wish to reset. This value will begin flashing with the time and date time stamp at which the maximum (or minimum) value occurred. Select the [plus-key] again to proceed to the next parameter, in the following order:
- Indoor humidity maximum (or minimum)
- Indoor temperature maximum (or minimum)
- Outdoor humidity maximum (or minimum)
- Outdoor temperature maximum (or minimum)
- Pressure maximum (or minimum)
Press the [set-key] for two seconds to reset the specific value (that is flashing) and associated date and time to the current reading.
Press the [snooze/light-key] or wait 10 seconds, and the Min/Max mode will return to Normal Mode.
4.5 Other Console Features
The following section describes additional console features.
4.5.1 Weather Forecasting
Note: The weather forecast or pressure tendency is based on the rate of change of barometric pressure. In general, when the pressure increases, the weather improves (sunny to partly cloudy) and when the pressure decreases, the weather degrades (cloudy to rain).
The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours, and varies from location to location. The tendency is simply a tool for projecting weather conditions and is never to be relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather. ***
4.5.2 Weather Icons
Sunny
Partly Cloudy
Cloudy
Rainy
The four weather icons are Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy and Rainy. There are also two weather tendency indicators to show the air pressure tendency between the weather icons.
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. The arrow pointing the left indicates that the air pressure is decreasing and the weather is expected to deteriorate.
The weather tendency is based on the pressure change since last six hours. If the weather is changing,
4.5.4 Storm threshold indicator
The storm threshold (the negative rate of pressure change signifying a storm is expected) can be adjusted by the user from level 3 to level 9 (the default level 4 mbar/hour).
When negative rate of change of pressure is exceeded for 3 hours, the storm warning indicator will be activated, and the clouds with rain icon and tendency arrows will flash for 3 hours indicating the storm warning feature has been activated.
4.5.5 Pressure threshold setting
The pressure threshold (the negative or positive rate of change of pressure signifying a change in the weather) can be adjusted by the user from level 2 to level 4 (default level 2 mbar/hour).
The lower the level pressure threshold setting, the higher sensitivity for weather forecast changes. 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.
The pressure graph displays the barometric pressure for the last 24 hours. Each bar represents three hours.
5. Glossary of Terms
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Absolute Barometric Pressure | Relative barometric pressure, corrected to sea-level. To compare 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. |
| Accuracy | Accuracy is defined as the ability of a measurement to match the actual value of the quantity being measured. |
| HectoPascals (hPa) | Pressure units in SI (international system) units of measurement. Same as millibars (1 hPa = 1 mbar) |
| Hygrometer | A hygrometer is a device that measures relative humidity. Relative humidity is a term used to describe the amount or percentage of water vapor that exists in air. |
| Inches of Mercury (inHg) | Pressure in Imperial units of measure. 1 inch of mercury = 33.86 millibars |
| Range | Range is defined as the amount or extent a value can be measured. |
| Relative Barometric Pressure | Measured barometric pressure relative to your location or ambient conditions. |

| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Wireless remote (thermo-hygrometer) not reporting in to console. There are dashes on the display console. |
The maximum line of sight communication range is 300'. Move the sensor assembly closer to the display console. If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 10'), move the sensor assembly away from the display console. Cycle power on the console. The console may have exited the search mode. Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote thermo-hygrometer. For cold weather environments, install lithium batteries. Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting through solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth barrier (down a hill). Move the display console around electrical noise generating devices, such as computers, TVs and other wireless transmitters or receivers. |
| Temperature sensor reads too high in the day time. | Move the remote sensor to a higher location. Move the remote sensor to a closer location. Radio Frequency (RF) Sensors cannot transmit through metal barriers (example, aluminum siding) or multiple, thick walls. Make sure the thermo-hygrometer is mounted in a shaded area on the north facing wall. Consider the following radiation shield if this is not possible: http://www.ambientweather.com/amwesrpatean.html |
| Indoor and Outdoor Temperature do not agree | Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor temperature sensors should agree within 4 °F (the sensor accuracy is ± 2 °F). |
| Indoor and Outdoor Humidity do not agree | Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor humidity sensors should agree within 10 % (the sensor accuracy is ± 5%). |
| Console outdoor humidity and remote humidity do not agree. | Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and outdoor humidity to a known source. The console displays the calibrated humidity. The remote displays the measured humidity only. Refer to 4.2.2 to set and reset the humidity calibration. |
| Relative pressure does not agree with official reporting station | You may be viewing the absolute pressure, not the relative pressure. Select the relative pressure. Make sure you properly calibrate the sensor to an official local weather station. The barometer is only accurate to ± 0.08 inHg within the following absolute pressure range: 27.13 to 32.50 inHg, which corresponds to an altitude of -2,200 to 2,700 feet. At higher altitudes, expect some non-linearity or error. The weather station console must run for several days to trend barometric pressure. |
| The forecast icon is not accurate | The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours, and varies from location to location. The tendency is simply a tool for projecting weather conditions and is never to be relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather. |
| Display console contrast is weak | Replace console batteries with a fresh set of batteries. |
