To update the firmware on your display tablet via Micro SD card. This method applies to older WS-2000and WS-5000 weather stations.

• Download the latest bin file (below) to your computer. Make a note of where you saved this file:
  
   Ambient Weather WS-2000 and WS-5000 Firmware Download Center

• Copy the factory.bin (ensure filename is just factory.bin) to your Micro-SD Card (the SD card must be empty).
• Power down your display console by removing AC power.
• Insert the SD Card into the display console.
• Power up the display console.
• The console will verify the firmware was updated.
• Power down the console after complete. Remove the SD Card when the console is powered down.

We have also recent introduced with the WS-4000 firmware updates via Wi-Fi. You can accomplish this through the About screen of the console.

To update the Wi-Fi Firmware on the WS-2000, WS-4000, WS-5000 can be accomplished in two ways depending on the age of your station.
The first method, which is for older WS-2000/WS-5000 uses and application AWnet.
To update the Wi-Fi firmware, you must first download the AWnet app for mobile devices from the Apple Store or Google Play Store:

Android Devices:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dtston.ambienttoolplus

iOS Devices:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/awnet/id1341994564

Wi-Fi Firmware version history: https://ambientweather.com/faqs/question/view/id/1444/

To update the Wi-Fi firmware on the WS-2000/WS-5000 console, launch AWnet   from your mobile device.

From the Device Info panel, tap on your device (in the example below, three devices are connected to the Wi-Fi network):

On the bottom right is the current Wi-Fi firmware version of your console. If there is an upgrade available, tap on the upgrade link:

With the introduction of the WS-4000, we also now allow firmware updates to be accomplished using the indoor console.

The following sensors can be used with the WS-2000,WS-5000,and WS-4000 display consoles, and can be enabled or disabled on the Sensors ID Setup panel: https://ambientweather.com/faqs/question/view/id/1486/

In order for your sunrise and sunset to be correct, your date, time zone, longitude and latitude must be entered correctly.

To find your longitude and latitude, enter your address into Bing Maps:

https://www.bing.com/maps

1. To view your longitude and latitude, select the Tools icon to enter the Setup screen. Press the down arrow button  until Longitude_Latitude Setup is selected, and press the Plus magnifier to view the settings. Make sure your longitude, latitude and hemisphere settings (north vs south, east vs west) are correct.Note: that if your longitude is negative, choose the Western Hemisphere. If your latitude is negative, choose the Southern Hemisphere.

2. To view your time zone settings, select the Tools icon  to enter the Setup screen.  Press the down arrow button  until Date and Time Setup is selected, and press the Plus magnifier  to view the settings. Make sure your time zone is set correctly.

The most common issues are:

1. Longitude and latitude are reversed.
2. The hemisphere is selected incorrectly.
3. The time zone is set incorrectly.

The lightning bolt icon signifies the Dew Point is greater than 70 degF, which is conducive for lightning in the area. It is just a prediction and the weather station does not sense lightning directly.

Can my unit detect lightning?

The Ambient Weather WH31L Lightning Detector is compatible with the WS-2000/WS-4000/WS-5000 display consoles.

If there is an exclamation point ! or mark next to the WiFi icon on the WS-2000/WS-4000/WS-5000 display, it means the display is connected to WiFi but the WiFi is not connected to the Internet.

Most routers today are dual-band, meaning they have both 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands.  Our devices need to be connected to a 2.4GHz band of WiFi, and while our devices will connect to a 5GHz band, they cannot report via that band.

You may be able to access your routers user interface to separate these bands or, better yet, turn off the 5GHz band while connecting your device.  Once you are connected, you can return that 5GHz band to service, and your weather station should stay connected.  If you do not have the ability to access your router's user interface, typically you can reach out to your internet service provider, and they can assist with this.

To view the Sensors ID panel on the display console, select the  button to open the  Set Up page.

Then using the or buttons, highlight the  More | Setup option towards the bottom right corner of the screen. You can then use the button to select this option.

From this page you can use the or buttons to highlight the Sensors ID | Setup option towards the top right corner of the screen.  You can then use the button to select this option.

If you changed your network configuration or your WiFi password:

1. Unplug power to modem, router and console (unplug AC adapter and/or remove batteries).
2. Plug power back into the cable Modem and let it sync back up with the network.
3. Plug power back into the Router and let it sync up.
4. Plug AC adapter back into the console.
5. Wait 5 minutes then click corresponding link below and follow the instructions.

If that did not get you connected the below guides for your weather station will help you get connected

With the WS-2000, WS-4000, WS-5000 you can choose when the rainfall season does reset.
This is to account for customers that want to monitor a specific period for rainfall.
This setting is changed through the SETUP screen of your indoor console.
You will need to access the SETUP page by click on the icon button on the bottom of the console.
This will take you into the setup screen, where you can modify the rainfall season.

The Formula for rain gain is :

GAIN = (Expected Output) ÷ (measured Output)

OR

GAIN = (The verified reading of a trusted source) ÷ (Your rain gauge's reading)

1. Once you have calculated your gain, you can enter that into the Rain Gain field on the CALIBRATION page of your WS-2000, 4000, or 5000 console.  You can access the CALIBRATION page by pressing the settings icon three times.
2. Next, use the or to navigate to the Rain Gain option.
3. Pressing the will open the Rain Gain screen.  Pressing the once will highlight the Rain Gain window.

5. Once you have entered the appropriate GAIN, you can exit this screen by pressing  twice to take you back to the home screen of the console.

Congratulations on your new WS-4000 outdoor array.

To ensure that the indoor console and array will function properly together.
We need to ensure that the following steps are accomplished.
Please ensure that your station has been updated to at least Hardware Firmware version 1.9.0.
This added the compatibility with the WS-4000 outdoor array.
You can accomplish this through the about section of the indoor console if your station is capable of over the air firmware updates.
Otherwise, please follow the steps below.
