2. Produktua amaitu daview eta Osagaiak
The WS-2000 system consists of two primary components: the indoor display console and the outdoor integrated sensor array. The console provides a detailed, real-time display of all measured data, while the sensor array collects the environmental information.
2.1 Integrated Sensor Array
The outdoor sensor array is designed to measure multiple weather parameters. Its robust design ensures reliable data collection in various conditions.
Figure 2.1: Key components of the integrated sensor array, including the wind vane, wind cups, rain collector, solar panel, and thermo-hygrometer radiation shield.
- Wind Vane: Measures wind direction.
- Wind Cups: Measure wind speed.
- Euri-biltzailea: Measures rainfall amounts.
- Eguzki-panela: Provides power to the sensor array and charges internal batteries.
- Thermo-Hygrometer Radiation Shield: Houses sensors for temperature and humidity, protecting them from direct sunlight and heat radiation.
2.2 Pantaila kontsola
The indoor display console features a vibrant TFT color screen that presents all collected weather data in an easy-to-read format. It also serves as the hub for Wi-Fi connectivity and system configuration.

3. Konfigurazioa
3.1 Desontziratzea eta hasierako muntaketa
Carefully unpack all components. The main sensor array requires minor assembly. Attach the wind cups to the anemometer, the wind vane to its sensor, and the rain gauge's cup rim. Ensure all connections are secure.
3.2 Gailuak elikatzea
- Kontsola: Power is provided by the included 5V DC adapter. Plug the adapter into the console and a standard wall outlet.
- Sensor Array: The sensor array requires 3 x AAA batteries (not included) for backup power. Install these batteries into the designated compartment. The solar panel on the array will provide primary power and charge the batteries when sufficient sunlight is available.
3.3 Mounting the Sensor Array
Select an appropriate outdoor location for the sensor array, ensuring it is clear of obstructions for accurate wind and rain measurements. Secure the array to a pole or suitable mounting structure using the provided brackets. A stable mounting solution is crucial for reliable data.
3.4 Wi-Fi and Network Configuration
Once powered, the console will guide you through the initial setup process. This includes configuring your location, Wi-Fi network information, and connecting to online services such as ambientweather.net and Weather Underground. Follow the on-screen prompts to establish these connections, enabling remote monitoring and data sharing.
4. Funtzionamendua
4.1 Viewing Data on the Console
The console's TFT display provides real-time and historical data for all measured parameters. Navigate through the display using the console buttons to view different metrics, daily/monthly/yearly records, and graphs.
4.2 Remote Monitoring and Alerts
Leverage the station's Wi-Fi capabilities to access your weather data from anywhere via the Ambient Weather Network (AWN) or Weather Underground. These platforms offer personal dashboards, historical data access, and configurable alerts for changing weather conditions.

4.3 Unit and Calibration Settings
The console allows you to switch between imperial and metric units for various measurements. You can also perform calibration for certain sensors to ensure the highest accuracy for your specific location.
5. Mantentzea
Mantentze-lan erregularrak zure eguraldi-estazioaren iraupena eta zehaztasuna bermatzen ditu.
- Plubiometroaren garbiketa: Periodically inspect and clean the inside of the rain collector to prevent debris buildup, which can affect rainfall accuracy.
- Bateria ordezkatzea: Replace the 3 x AAA batteries in the sensor array as needed. Lithium batteries are recommended for cold climates to ensure optimal performance.
- Garbiketa orokorra: Keep the sensor array and console clean from dust, dirt, and spiderwebs to maintain optimal sensor function and display visibility.
6. Arazoak
Zure eguraldi estazioarekin arazoak badituzu, kontuan hartu ohiko irtenbide hauek:
- Loss of Outdoor Unit Communication: If the outdoor sensor array stops communicating with the console, first check the sensor array batteries. If the issue persists, you may need to reset the outdoor transmitter from the console, following the instructions in the full product manual. Communication often restores on its own after a short period.
- Irakurketa okerrak: Ensure the sensor array is mounted correctly and free from obstructions. Perform calibration if necessary. For rain gauge issues, check for blockages or debris.
- Wi-Fi konexio-arazoak: Verify your Wi-Fi network is active and the console is within range. Re-enter Wi-Fi credentials if needed.
