Problem

 

Solution

 

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 2 °F (the sensor accuracy is ± 
1 °F). 
 
Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and 
outdoor temperature to a known source. 

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 %). 
 
Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and 
outdoor humidity to a known source. 

Display console contrast is weak 

Replace console batteries with a fresh set of batteries.

Description

 

Ambient Weather F007TH 
Wireless 
Thermo-Hygrometer for 
WS0416 Weather Stations 

Add additional remote thermo-hygrometers. Supports up to eight 
remote sensors. 

Ambient Weather 
WS0416-C WS0416 Big 
Digit 8-Channel Wireless 
Thermo-Hygrometer, 
Console Only 

Add as many display consoles as you like to your existing system to 
display the remote sensor in different locations. 

Ambient Weather 
SRS100LX Temperature and 
Humidity Solar Radiation 
Shield 

Solar Radiation Shield improves temperature accuracy for hot weather 
climates. Remove the rain guard and install over thermo-hygrometer. 

Ambient Weather Humidity 
Calibration Kits 

One step calibration kits for digital hygrometers use salt slurry formula 
to accurately calibrate the indoor and outdoor hygrometers.
