• Cover the solar collector to shut of the solar energy source.
• Remove the batteries.
• Let sit until the red LED on the bottom goes out showing you had drained the solar capacitor
• Press the reset button (#10, below) for a full minute with a pointed object, such as a pen tip:

• Reinsert fresh batteries
• Uncover the solar collector.
• LED(#11) should flash once per 16 seconds. If it is not flashing, the sensor array must be replaced.
• Power down and up the console to resync(Remove batteries and AC Adapter then reinsert)
• May take a few minutes for the outside array information to display on the console.

We also have a video which you can watch to walk you through the reset.

HOW TO: Reset Your WS-2902C Array

If the weather station array is not communicating properly with the indoor console AFTER performing ALL of the steps above, then the outdoor sensor array OR individual sensor/sensors will need to be replaced.

Yes, the mounting location of the sensor array can affect the proper and accurate measuring and reporting of weather data as well as affect the longevity of it’s sensors.

One example would be mounting the device too close to a surface/structure. In the below image, the radiant heat that is emitted from the surface can cause inaccurate temperature and humidity readings as well as premature sensor failure. The obstruction caused by the structure may lead to inaccurate wind speed, wind direction and rainfall readings as well.

Because the station is mounted to closely to the roof this can lead to the temperature and humidity sensor to fail prematurely.

Q. What is this coil spring that came with my rain gauge?

It is a stainless steel filter which is included in the package. It’s aimed to stop leaves or bird droppings to avoid the obstruction of the cone hole.

The installation is simple: press the filter until the hook is inside the outlet hole and self -locked. The spring tension will keep the filter sit tight on the funnel.

7. ColorView Series:
   WS-50

Each brand shares the same sensor array (Falcon, Osprey, Observer, ColorView), but have different console and Internet features.

The peak of the luminosity function is at 555 nm (green); the eye’s visual system is more sensitive to light of this wavelength than any other. For monochromatic light of this wavelength, the irradiance needed to make one lux is minimum, at 1.464 mW/m².

That is, one obtains 683.002 lux per W/m² (or lumens per watt) at this wavelength.  Other wavelengths of visible light produce fewer lumens per watt.

Solar Radiation is a shorter wave length and different color spectrum, so it has a different factor of Lux to W/m²:

Bright sunlight is approximately 136000 lux = 1075 W/m² = 126.7

The factor changes slightly depending on time of day, conditions such as cloud cover, moisture in the air etc. and most sources  agree on the 126.7 as a reasonable factor to use.

The conversion in the green visible light spectrum spectrum at 555nm is  1W/m² = 683 lux, and is used of human eyes.

Some of our weather stations allow to calibrate the gain to whatever light spectrum you wish to base solar radiation on.

There are four basic issues that will limit the wireless range of the weather station:

1. Is the weather station console near other electronic devices? If so, move the weather station console to a new location.
2. Are you using the prescribed lithium batteries in the sensor array? Alkaline and other battery chemistry will only operate to + 10 degF. Lithium Energizer Ultimate Batteries operate to -40 degF.
3. How far is the sensor array from the console? The line of sight RF range is 300′, 100′ under most conditions. Reference the More Help Guide below for a discussion on line of sight, and the effect of walls or barriers.
4. Is the wireless signal transmitting through metal or thick walled concrete? How many walls or obstructions is it transmitting through? Metal or thick wall concrete can block a wireless signal.

If you continue to have issue, please read the More Help Guide below:

More Help:

If the sensor array is intermittent, or stops communicating at night or at dark, read this guide first:

Wireless Signal Is Intermittent Or Not Working

The guide recommends changing batteries and moving the sensor array or console around, or paying attention to barriers,  to overcome interference and distance.

it is important to note what LED light is doing on the bottom of the sensor array:

• LED on all of the time
• LED off all of the time
• LED flashing rapidy
• LED flashing normally (16 seconds)

If the LED is on all of the time, please reference:

Sensor Array Transmitter Light Stays On, Or Does Not Flash Once Per 16 Seconds, No Communication

If the LED  is flashing rapidly, please reference:

Sensor Array Is No Longer Communicating To The Console, LED Is Flashing Rapidly.

If the LED is flashing normally every 16 seconds, please reference:

Sensor Array Is No Longer Communicating To The Console, LED Is Flashing Normally (Every 14 Seconds)

If the LED is not flashing at all:

Please reset the sensor array:

1. Cover the solar collector to shut of the solar energy source.
2. Cover remove the batteries.
3. Press the reset button for a full minute. There should be no LED flashing
4.  Reinsert the batteries
5. Uncover the solar collector.
6. LED should flash once per 16 seconds. If it is not flashing, the sensor array must be replaced.
7. Power down and up the console to resync.
8. If the outdoor temperature and humidity are still showing dashes (–) after several minutes, the sensor array must be replaced.
9. We have a one year warranty. To replace the sensor array, please visit:  www.AmbientWeather.com/rma.html
10. If out of warranty, the sensor array can be purchased here: https://www.ambientweather.com/amws2902array.html

There are two versions of firmware:

• Console Firmware
• WiFi Firmware

The WS-2000 firmware must be updated to the following revisions in order to support the PM25, PM25IN, and AQIN Sensor:

• Firmware Revision Number (console): 1.4.4
• WiFi Firmware: AMBWeatherV4.1.4

To check the firmware version:

How do I Check my Firmware Versions

You must upgrade both versions of firmware for proper PM25 sensor operation:

Console Firmware:

If you receive the message:

There’s no real-time data yet. Give us a sec…

Waiting for data to load…

and the AmbientWeather.net never updates, it usually means you incorrectly entered the MAC address on AmbientWeather.net.

You can locate the MAC address on your device using this guide:  How Do I Find My MAC Address?

Check the MAC address on your device vs. the MAC address you entered on AmbientWeather.net to make sure there is not a typo.

Also, you must own an Ambient Weather weather station or appliance to work with AmbientWeather.net.

Most weather stations use self-emptying rain gauges, which do not count snow and will not operate when frozen.

It requires the snow melt before the precipitation is “counted”.

The WH31, WH31B and WH31E are 8-channel thermo-hygrometers that support a variety of Ambient Weather Stations

The WH31 and WH31E include a radio controlled clock (RCC). The WH31B does not.

The WH31 and WH31E are only required for the WS-3000 Series, which includes a Radio Controlled Clock.

Our Internet Connected weather stations receive the time from the Internet Time Server (NIST.gov).

A solar radiation sensor measures solar energy from the sun.

Solar radiation is radiant energy emitted by the sun from a nuclear fusion reaction that creates electromagnetic energy. The spectrum of solar radiation is close to that of a black body with a temperature of about 5800 K. About half of the radiation is in the visible short-wave part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The other half is mostly in the near-infrared part, with some in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum.

The units of measure are Watts per square meter.

The device is typically used in agricultural applications, and is used in the calculation of Evapotransportation.

Evapotransportation is the potential for evaporation of moisture from the soil (or the reverse of rainfall) and is a function solar energy, wind and temperature.

An ultraviolet sensor (UV sensor) is a device that measures UV light from the Sun.

The UV index is an international standard measurement of how strong the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is at a particular place on a particular day. It is a scale primarily used in daily forecasts aimed at the general public.

Its purpose is to help people to effectively protect themselves from UV light, of which excessive exposure causes sunburns, eye damage such as cataracts, skin aging, and skin cancer (see the section health effects of ultraviolet light).

• Wear sunglasses on bright days.
• If you burn easily, cover up and use broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen.
• Watch out for bright surfaces, like sand, water and snow, which reflect UV and increase exposure.

A UV Index reading of 3 to 5 means moderate risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure.

• Stay in shade near midday when the sun is strongest.
• If outdoors, wear protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
• Generously apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every 2 hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating.
• Watch out for bright surfaces, like sand, water and snow, which reflect UV and increase exposure.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 means high risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure. Protection against skin and eye damage is needed.

• Reduce time in the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
• If outdoors, seek shade and wear protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
• Generously apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every 2 hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating.
• Watch out for bright surfaces, like sand, water and snow, which reflect UV and increase exposure.

A UV Index reading of 8 to 10 means very high risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure. Take extra precautions because unprotected skin and eyes will be damaged and can burn quickly.

• Minimize sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
• If outdoors, seek shade and wear protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
• Generously apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every 2 hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating.
• Watch out for bright surfaces, like sand, water and snow, which reflect UV and increase exposure.

A UV Index reading of 11 or more means extreme risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure. Take all precautions because unprotected skin and eyes can burn in minutes.

• Try to avoid sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
• If outdoors, seek shade and wear protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
• Generously apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every 2 hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating.
• Watch out for bright surfaces, like sand, water and snow, which reflect UV and increase exposure.

The Osprey series has a super capacitor that holds a lot of energy when there is no solar energy or low batteries. Even if you remove the batteries, the transmitter may still be transmitting.

1. Bring your old sensor array inside the house or facility. The wind speed, UV and solar radiation will read 0.0.
2. Press and hold the reset button on the bottom of the sensor array for about a minute while covering the solar collector with your hand.
3. Next, power cycle the display console by removing AC power and batteries (WS-1900, WS-2902 series) or just AC power (WS-2000 series).
4. If it still appears to pick up the old sensor array (UV, solar radiation and wind speed read zero), physically move the old weather station to a different location away from the house.

The solar panel charges a super capacitor. This is a much more efficient design.

If the super capacitor voltage drops too low due to night or extended cloud cover, the non-rechargeable batteries take over for the solar collector.

The wind speed is 2.24 revolutions per m/s or 5.01 revolutions per 1 mph.

It will not. The device will only connect to a wifi routers main 2.4GHz signal. It will not connect to a guest account or a Mesh networks secondary nodes. To get around having to use a wifi router you can use our Observerip module which will connect directly to a router via an ethernet cable and remove the need for wifi.

1. If AmbientWeather.net stops reporting but WeatherUnderground.com continues to update, power down and up your console by removing batteries and AC power. There may have been a DNS server change that was not updated on the console.
2. If the problem persists, power down and up your wireless router.

1. Power down and up the console by removing batteries and AC power. If the problem persists,
2. Reboot your router. If the problem persists,
3. Perform a factory reset:
4. Remove the power from the console by removing the batteries and disconnecting the AC adapter.
5. Apply power by connecting the AC adapter.
6. Wait for all of the segments to appear on the screen:
   
7.  Press and hold the WIND/+ and PRESSURE/- buttons at the same time until the console power up sequence is complete (about 5 seconds).
8. Replace the batteries.
9. You are now starting over. Reference the section in the manual for connecting the console to WiFi and the Internet.
10. Connect directly to your wireless router and not a repeater or range extender.

In general, when following the regular maintenance schedule in the user manual a user can expect a 3 to 10 year life before fully replacing the sensor array. A weather station’s life expectancy is greatly impacted by it’s environment see examples below:

1. Coastal, Marsh or Wetland environments. Salt air, salt spray and acidification are the most difficult environments for weather stations to have a long life. The salt air, salt spray and acidification corrode bearings, sensor boards (temperature, humidity, etc.), mounting hardware and other moving parts. Expect a 1-3 year product life span in this type of environment. Ambient Weather's sensors boards are all conformal coated to prevent this corrosion. The nature of digital thermometer and hygrometer sensors relying on electrical resistance of metal changes allows the corrosion to occur more quickly
2. Long term high humidity environments. Prolonged exposure to high levels of humidity, whether salt, acidic or not, predisposes metal parts to fail prematurely. In a hot and dry environment weather stations are known to last 7-10 years.
3. Hurricanes and tropical storms can also reduce the life of a weather station.

Ambient Weather’s weather stations carry a one year warranty.

No, it does not.  Virtual Weather Station (VWS) has been discontinued. Most of our weather stations are direct to Internet and communicate with our hosting service at AmbientWeather.net.

• The released version was pulled. There was a Wunderground.com reporting bug in the new release.

Version 4.4.0:

• Fixes time stamp issue introduced in Version 4.3.8.

Version 4.3.8:

• Some users have reported conditions where their ObserverIP has become totally, or partially unresponsive (or very slow) to requests for web pages by either a browser, or secondary device (such as WeatherBridge or MeteoBridge, or computer running software that “interrogates” the ObserverIP web pages). In all cases the problem would occur somewhat unpredictably, and was seen as frequent as once a week, but most often less frequently. The problem manifests as web page timeouts, seen by a browser user or by a secondary device or software. Sometimes the problem is transient, sometimes it is (semi) permanent. To recover, the only solution is a “cold restart” which can be affected by removing power from the ObserverIP for 5 seconds, or by pressing the reset button located on the rear of the ObserverIP.
  
  The latest ObserverIP firmware, version 4.3.8, has resolved several issues that related to this problem. In the process of these fixes, we have determined, however that due to fundamental limitations in hardware and firmware, the ObserverIP is not capable of handling more than 4 simultaneous, or overlapping, web page requests without there being a possibility of the stated problem occurring.
  
  This is not a limitation when the ObserverIP is used as advertised, either used stand alone and occasionally observed through a browser (never more than 1 overlapping request), or even if also connected to a single secondary device, provided that such a device is properly programmed to not make more than one simultaneous request. WeatherBridge and MeteoBridge, in recent firmware versions, are known to not do this and are supported secondary devices. When such secondary devices are in use, combined with a browser making requests (automatically or manually) in rapid succession, there is a small possibility of temporarily reaching over the safe limit and slow responses may occur. In such cases a cold restart may be needed.
  
  Users that use the ObserverIP, in particular those that use secondary devices, are encouraged to upgrade to the latest firmware (version 4.3.8 or later), available on the Ambient Weather web site and to not use more than one secondary device.

Version 3.1.4:

• On March 1, 2017, Amazon Web Services’ servers slowed down to requiring up to 30 seconds to open, read, write and close TCPIP sessions. This causes other tasks to slow down, and manifests itself in the indoor temperature-humidity-barometer to act sporadically, or updates to slow or completely stop. This version changes how the connection is established.

Version 3.1.3:

• On March 1, 2017, Amazon Web Services’ servers slowed down to requiring 5 seconds to open an http session. This causes other tasks to slow down, and manifests itself in the indoor temperature-humidity-barometer to act sporadically. This version did not completely resolve this issue. See Version 3.1.4.

Version 3.1.2:

• On January 31, 2017, Weather Underground.com migrated their data center from their offices in San Francisco to Amazon Web Services in Seattle. The firmware did not work properly if you selected a static IP address for the ObserverIP. We will need to fix this by installing Firmware Version 3.1.2.

Version 3.1.0:

• Humidity calibration range issue was not fixed in 3.0.9. This version fixes it.

Version 3.0.9:

• Increases calibration range for humidity from ±10% to ±50%.

Version 3.0.8:

• Fixes issue with Port 80 being left open after an http write command. This slows down the ObserverIP connection.

Version 3.0.3:

No, it does not.  Virtual Weather Station (VWS) has been discontinued. Most of our weather stations are direct to Internet and communicate with our hosting service at AmbientWeather.net.

Please visit or Community Page to find a list of applications that work with AmbientWeather.net:

Community

If you have not done so already, download IPTools to your PC or Mac:

Ambient Weather ObserverIP Download Center

Launch IPTools, go the IP address of your module:

Select Search and Open.

If you cannot connect to the ObserverIP module, and the IP address in IPTools reads 192.168.0.99 all of the time, please perform a factory reset of the console.

To restore the ObserverIP module to factory default, press the Reset pinhole button on the back of the module (#9, figure below).

Restart IPTools, and it should find a valid IP address on your network.

The default weather station type is the WS-1400-IP. Select Station Settings from the ObserverIP interface (launch IP Tools to find the IP address), and change the weather station type to WS-1550-IP and select Apply.

This can occur after a firmware update, or the reset button is pressed on the back of the IP Module.

If the thermo-hygrometer-barometer is not communicating to the ObserverIP module:

If you added the indoor thermo-hygrometer-barometer to the WS-1500-IP, there was a bug in the firmware that is easily fixed. From the Station Settings panel on your IP Module, change the weather station type from WS-1500-IP to WS-1550-IP and select Apply.

The ObserverIP will now recognize the indoor sensor:

1. Power down and up the ObserverIP Module and wait a few minutes. If the problem persists:
2. Reference the Weather Network panel on the ObserverIP module:
   
3. Make certain you entered the correct MAC on the AmbientWeather.net Devices panel:https://ambientweather.net/devices
4. You must be running Firmware Version 4.0 or greater. To upgrade the firmware, please reference:How Do I Update The Firmware For The ObserverIP Module?

If the problem persists, email a snapshot of the above panel to support@ambientweather.com

If the time is incorrect on the ObserverIP Live Data panel, the Time Zone is set incorrecty.

To change the Time Zone, from your OberverIP Module User Interface, change the Time Zone on the Station Settings page.

The following table provides times zones throughout the world. Locations in the eastern hemisphere are positive, and locations in the western hemisphere are negative.

If the ObserverIP Module web interface slows down, power down and up the device by removing the AC power, wait about 5 seconds, and connect AC power.

If you also own a WeatherBridge, or scrape the live data panel for another application, please read:

ObserverIP Module slows down or stops working when connected to a WeatherBridge (MeteoBridge).

To view or change the weather station model or type, Select Station Settings from the ObserverIP interface (launch IP Tools to find the IP address).

No, it is not possible to access the ObserverIP module outside of your local network.

It reads and writes (https://) Port 80, and does not use Telnet (Port 23) for example.

It is not possible to access the rest of your network(s) from the ObserverIP module.

The WS-1401-IP has a different sensor array than the WS-1550-IP.

The Osprey sensor array (WS-1550-IP) is newer and more modular for easy parts replacement.

The WS-1550-IP also does not include the indoor thermo-hygrometer-barometer (WH2B):

Connect any of our IFTTT-enabled Ambient Weather Stations to your favorite Amazon Alexa device in just a few easy steps. After completing the steps below, you will have the ability to ask Alexa for things like weather reports, outdoor conditions, indoor conditions, and past weather events.

1. Confirm your station compatibility

First things first, let's confirm your compatibility. The following stations are IFTTT enabled and offer Amazon Alexa compatibility:

If the station you own is not on this list, it does NOT currently work with Amazon Alexa.

To learn more about IFTTT Devices, check out our blog post: IFTTT Basics.

2. Connect Your Station to AmbientWeather.Net.

If your station is already connected to AmbientWeather.net, go ahead and move to Step #3.

If you are not connected, follow the instructions below to get set up. The Amazon Alexa Skill is based on your Ambient Weather Network account data and is REQUIRED before adding the skill to your Alexa.

1. To connect your station to AmbientWeather.net, you must first link your weather station console to your WiFi Router. Look for the WiFi icon in the time field of the weather station console. If this icon is on, you are already connected to WiFi. If it is off, please reference these instructions HERE.
2. Next, launch the console configuration app AWNET on your mobile device or tablet. The app will pick up the nearby device and display the weather station MAC address in the Device List. Please note: The AWNET app is only a console configuration tool and is not used to view your live data.
   
   AWNET app Download for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dtston.ambienttoolplus
   
   AWNET app Download for iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/awnet/id1341994564
   
3. Visit AmbientWeather.net and select Create Your Account. Use the MAC address you acquired in the previous step to register your account!

Don't forget to return to your personal dashboard once you've completed setting up Amazon Alexa. Ambientweather.net offers a customizable dashboard of your conditions and sensors along with a large interactive weather community where you can share your own forecasts and connect with stations in your area.

3. Download the Amazon Alexa Skill

Sign in to your Amazon account and add the Ambient Weather Skill at no cost.

Download the Ambient Weather Amazon Alexa Skill.

4. Ask Alexa

Once the Ambient Weather Skill has been enabled for Amazon Alexa, you can begin asking questions about your indoor and outdoor weather conditions.

Say: "Alexa, ask Ambient Weather… weather report."

This will provide you with your outdoor weather report. You can ask for your indoor weather report as well by saying, "indoor conditions."

Here are some sample commands:

• Weather Report
• Outdoor conditions
• Indoor conditions
• Yesterday's weather
• Conditions for October 15, 2020
• Conditions for September 2020
• Conditions for 2020
• Change default device to {the name of your device}

There is a bug with the Google Assistant App on both iOS and Android. However, the linking process does work using the Google home app on iOS.

The process should work like this:
1. You initiate the skill on your Google Assistant device (or in the Google Assistant app). It directs you to the google home app to link your account.
2. When you open the Google Home app you should see a link to connect your account on Ambient Weather. One thing we’ve noticed is that you may need to close the Google Home app (by double clicking the home button and swiping it up) and reopen it in order to see this connection link.
3. Clicking that link will bring you to ambientweather.net where you’ll need to login to your Ambient Weather account.
4. You will be presented with an authorize button that will link the devices together

That should be all it takes. Email support@ambientweather.com and let us know where the process breaks down for you.

Please include your MAC address and the email account you used to register at AmbientWeather.net.

Correct Setup

The dew point is the temperature at which a given parcel of humid air must be cooled, at constant barometric pressure, for water vapor to condense into water. The condensed water is called dew. The dew point is a saturation temperature.

The dew point is associated with relative humidity. A high relative humidity indicates that the dew point is closer to the current air temperature. Relative humidity of 100% indicates the dew point is equal to the current temperature and the air is maximally saturated with water. When the dew point remains constant and temperature increases, relative humidity will decrease.

How much bandwidth does my Weather Station Require?

The amount of uploaded data is dependent on the number of services you upload to, and sensors you own, but here is a rough guide:

For AmbientWeather.net upload every 12 seconds

Data stream: 174 Bytes

Total data in 24 hours: 86400/12 * 174 = 1252800 Bytes = 1.2MBytes (i.e.  36MB per month)

For WeatherUnderground.com: upload every 12 seconds

Data stream: 196 Bytes

Total data in 24 hours: 86400/12 * 196 = 1411200 Bytes = 1.34MBytes (i.e.  40MB per month)

The total is approximately 76MB per month.

Products recommended for use with our equipment:

Batteries: Energizer Ultimate Lithium Batteries

Snow and Ice Repellent: DuPont Teflon Snow and Ice Repellent

Prevent Rain ‘Bounce’ From Funnel: DuPont Silicone Lubricant Aerosol

Micro-sd Card: Any 32Gb or smaller in storage size

California Prop 65:

WARNING: Use of the Ambient Weather Products can expose you to chemicals, including lead and lead compounds, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and bisphenol A (BPA), andphthalates DINP and/or DEHP, which are known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Can I Trust that Ambient Weather Products are Safe Despite this Warning?

In 1986, California voters approved the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act known as Proposition 65 or Prop 65. The purpose of Proposition 65 is to ensure that people are informed about exposure to chemicals known by the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and/or other reproductive harm.A company with ten or more employees that operates within the State of California (or sells products in California) must comply with the requirements of Proposition 65. To comply, businesses are: (1) prohibited from knowingly discharging listed chemicals into sources of drinking water;and (2) required to provide a “clear and reasonable” warning before knowingly and intentionally exposing anyone to a listed chemical. Proposition 65 mandates that the Governor of California maintain and publish a list of chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects and/or other reproductive harm. The Prop 65 list, which must be updated annually, includes over 1,000 chemicals, including many that are commonly used in the electronics industry.

Although our manufacturing process is “lead-free” and RoHS compliant, it remains possible that trace amounts of lead could be found in components or sub assemblies of Ambient Weather Products. Bisphenol A (BPSA) could conceivably be present in minute amounts in our plastic housings, lenses, labels or adhesives, and DEHP & DINP (phthalates) could possibly be found in PVC wire coatings of our cables, housings, and power cords. Unlike RoHS, Prop 65 does not establish a specific threshold for reporting on the substances of concern and instead sets forth a much less definitive standard requiring that the business demonstrate with certainty that there is “no significant risk” resulting from exposure. With respect to carcinogens, the “no significant risk” level is defined as the level which is calculated to result in not more than one excess case of cancer in 100,000 individuals exposed over a 70-year lifetime. In other words, if you are exposed to the chemical in question at this level every day for 70 years, theoretically, it will increase your chances of getting cancer by no more than 1 case in 100,000 individuals so exposed. With respect to reproductive toxicants, the “no significant risk” level is defined as the level of exposure which, even if multiplied by 1,000, will not produce birth defects or other reproductive harm. In other words, the level of exposure is below the “no observable effect level,” divided by 1,000. (The “no observable effect level” is the highest dose level which has not been associated with observable reproductive harm in humans or test animals.) Proposition 65 does not clarify whether exposure is to be measured only in normal operation, or in the event of misuse such as intentionally damaging, incinerating or consuming an Ambient Weather Product or component and Ambient Weather has not attempted to evaluate the level of exposure.

A Proposition 65warning means one of two things: (1) the business has evaluated the exposure and has concluded that it exceeds the “no significant risk level”; or (2) the business has chosen to provide a warning simply based on its knowledge about the presence of a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the exposure. The California government has itself clarified that “The fact that a product bears a Proposition 65 warning does not mean by itself that the product is unsafe.” The government has also explained, “You could think of Proposition 65 more as a ‘right to know’ law than a pure product safety law.”

While using Ambient Weather Products as intended, we believe any potential exposure would be negligible or well within the “no significant risk” range. However, to ensure compliance with California law and our customers’ right to know, we have elected to place the Proposition 65 warning signs on Ambient Weather Products.
