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.

Preventive Maintenance and Reset of the Outdoor Sensor Array. (Printed Part: WH65B)

To ensure that the outdoor weather station array stays in proper working condition please follow the steps below:

1.Replace the batteries. We recommend fresh Lithium Energizer and here is why:Why Are Lithium Ultimate Batteries Recommended And Not Alkaline Or Rechargeable Batteries?

2. Make certain the rain gauge is level. If not perfectly level, the tipping mechanism will not work properly and under report rain.

3. Visually inspect the rain funnel. Is the funnel missing? To replace the funnel, please visit: https://www.ambientweather.com/amws2902funnel.html

4. Check the funnel for any debris. Clean the funnel.

5. Remove the funnel and check for any debris that may be affecting the tipping mechanism. Tip the mechanism back and forth. Does the rain update on the console? Check for any bugs or dirt. Clean with a damp, soft cloth.

6. In heavy downpours or sideways wind, the rain droplets can “bounce” out of the rain gauge. Use Teflon spray: https://www.amazon.com/DuPont-Silicone-Lubricant-Aerosol-14-Ounce/dp/B00D3ZKVAS to prevent accumulation of the droplets on the walls of the rain gauge.

How to Reset the Outdoor Sensor Array:

1. Cover the solar collector to shut of the solar energy source.
2. Remove the batteries.
3. Let sit for up to 24 hours to drain the solar capacitor.
4. Reinsert fresh batteries.
5. Press the reset button (#10, below) for a full minute with a pointed object, such as a pen tip:

6. Uncover the solar collector.

7. LED(#11) should flash once per 16 seconds. If it is not flashing, the sensor array must be replaced.

8. Power down and up the console to resync(Remove batteries and AC Adapter then reinsert)

9. May take a few minutes for the outside array information to display on the console

*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.

**Why Preventive/Routine Maintenance needs to be done:

If the hygrometer or humidity sensor reads 99% all of the time, it is possible the sensor array requires fresh batteries or needs resetting.

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 fresh batteries
5. Uncover the solar collector.
6. LED should flash once per 14 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 humidity is still showing 99% 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. For out of warranty replacement, please visit: https://www.ambientweather.com/amws2902array.html

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

If it is very cold outside, please reference:

When It Gets Cold Out, My Weather Station Stops Communicating

1. If the display is showing rain rate, change to daily rain to track the rain accumulation better.
2. Make certain the rain gauge is level. If not perfectly level, the tipping mechanism will not work properly and under report rain.
3. Make certain there are no obstructions in the funnel and tipping mechanism.
4. In heavy downpours or sideways wind, the rain droplets can “bounce” out of the rain gauge. Use Teflon spray:https://www.amazon.com/DuPont-Silicone-Lubricant-Aerosol-14-Ounce/dp/B00D3ZKVASto prevent accumulation of the droplets on the walls of the rain gauge.

Our weather stations base forecast on rate of change of pressure. This does not display what is happening right now, but rather, if the weather will change in the next 24 to 48 hours due to changes in barometric pressure.

In general, if the rate of change of pressure increases, the weather is improving (sunny). If the rate of change of pressure decreases, the weather is degrading (cloudy or rainy). If the rate of change is relatively steady, it will read partly cloudy or partly sunny (depending on the type of weather station).

The reason the current conditions do not match the forecast icon is because it is a prediction 24-48 hours in advance. In most locations, this prediction is only 70% accurate and it is a good idea to consult the National Weather Service for more accurate weather forecasts. In some locations, this prediction may be less or more accurate.

The National Weather Service (and other weather services such as Accuweather and The Weather Channel) have many tools at their disposal to predict weather conditions, including weather radar, weather models, and detailed mapping of ground conditions.  Thus, these forecasts are significantly more accurate then forecasts based on rate of change of pressure.

You will need to give the weather station enough time to predict changes in weather. This can take up to 30 days, depending on where you live.

FAQs:

1. The icons on my weather station have not changed in the short time I have owned it. You will need to give the weather station enough time to predict changes in weather. This can take up to 30 days, depending on where you live.
2.  Can I change the set points that trigger changes in the forecast icon?  With some Ambient Weather Stations (not most), there is the option “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). Check your User’s Manual for this feature.  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.

• The gust is the maximum wind speed in the 16 second update period (sampled once per second), whereas the wind speed is the 16 sample average. It is difficult to “perceive” an average wind speed.
• We recommend you switch the display console to gust. It will typically read 1.5 to 2.5 x higher, and agrees better with human perception and what you see outside. To switch the display to gust, press the WIND button.
• View the max gust of the day (or since the last reset, based on your reset settings). Press the MAX/MIN button once and the max values will be displayed. Next, press the WIND button to see the max gust of the day (or since the last reset):

• Does this value agree with your perception or other stations in the area?
• What is displayed on AmbientWeather.net is only sampled once every minute and saved to graphs and data once every 4-5 minutes. The gust will likely be missed at this sample rate.
• AmbientWeather.net does record the maximum gust of the day in the Wind Speed Tile. The example below shows a peak daily wind gust of 15.0 mph:
  
• Unless your cups stop abruptly and do not coast down, there is likely nothing wrong with your weather station.
• You can send us an email support@ambientweather.com with installation images, or post them on our Ambient Weather Network User Group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ambientweathernetwork/ and get a second opinion from thousands of users.
• If it is extremely cold (below freezing), it is possible that the wind gauge has frozen up. This is common to all weather stations with moving parts.You can spray the top of the unit with teflon snow and ice repellent like this:https://www.amazon.com/DuPont-Teflon-Snow-Repellant-10-Ounce/dp/B0031T82NObut this is not 100% effective.
• We have a detailed discussion here:

Wind Speed or Wind Gust Appears to Read Low.

If only the temperature is stuck or does not change, and all of the other sensors are updating, it is possible the sensor array requires fresh batteries or needs resetting.

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 fresh batteries
5. Uncover the solar collector.
6. LED should flash once per 14 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 is still showing -40 or 140 degF 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. For out of warranty replacement, please visit: https://www.ambientweather.com/amws2902array.html

1 . Replace the batteries. We recommend Energizer Lithium Ultimate batteries like the following:

https://www.amazon.com/Energizer-Ultimate-Lithium-Batteries-Each/dp/B00003IEME

Lithium batteries have a wide temperature operating range. They operate between -40 degF and 140 degF. Alkaline batteries only operate to about +10 degF.

Rechargeable batteries often have a limited life and mean constant replacing, as well as a narrow temperature range.

If the problem persists, the sensor array needs replacing. We have a one year warranty. Please visit:

www.AmbientWeather.com/rma.html

If out of warranty, the sensor array can be replaced here:

https://www.ambientweather.com/amws2902array.html

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.

No, it does not. It comes with a bracket and two U-Bolts and to tighten around a 1 to 2″ diameter pole, which you supply.

If the wind cups are turning but wind speed displays 0.0 on the display console:

1. Make sure the wind cups set screw is properly fastened to the wind speed shaft. If the problem persists,
2. The sensor array must be replaced. We have a one year warranty. To replace under warranty, please visit: www.ambientweather.com/rma.html
3. If out of warranty, a replacement wind speed module can be purchased here:https://www.ambientweather.com/amws2902wcassembly.html

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.

If the sensor array drains batteries quickly after the batteries are replaced:

1. Remove the batteries and replace with non-rechargeable Energizer Lithium Ultimate batteries. We have a discussion here:Why Are Lithium Ultimate Batteries Recommended And Not Alkaline Or Rechargeable Batteries?

   2.  Clean any corrosion around and on the battery terminals.

   3. If the problem persists, the sensor array must be replaced. We have a one year warranty. To replace under warranty, please visit: www.AmbientWeather.com/rma.html

    

   4. If out of warranty, a replacement array can be purchased here:
   https://www.ambientweather.com/amws2902array.html

Yes, you can add as many consoles as you like.

The WS-2000 array works with four different consoles:

1. WS-2000,
   which is the one that came with your weather station.
   
   
2. WS-2902D
   which is a lower quality but less expensive color film LCD
3. WS-1900A
   which is identical to the WS-2902D console, but does not have a WiFi chip:

It is possible the sensor array was not powered up properly. Please reset the sensor array:

1. Cover the solar collector to shut of the solar energy source.
2. Remove the batteries.
3. Press the reset button for a full minute. There should be no LED flashing
4.  Reinsert fresh batteries. Make sure they are fresh alkaline or lithium Energizer non-rechargeable batteries.
5. Uncover the solar collector.
6. LED should flash once per 14 seconds.
7. Power down and up the console to resync.

If the problem persists, we have a one year warranty. To replace under warranty, please visit:

Yes, you can, but you will need to change the following Gain Factors on the console:

Wind Gain: 0.46

Rain Gain: 0.85

Here is how you change the gain factors on the WS-1000 series console:

1. Press the Settings button three times to display the calibration panel:
2. Press the down button until the temperature field is highlighted, and press plus  or minus  to adjust. Press the left  or right  button to change each multiple value.
3. Press the return button  to return to the main screen.

The North Marker is molded into the top of the sensor array body. Point the rain gauge in the direction of North.

Console : Input 5V DC; 6.5′ 110-240V 50-60 Hz wall charger included.

Power Consumption: 0.5 Watts (1.25 Watts during WiFi configuration mode)

DC barrel connector dimensions: 7.5mm ( L ) x 3.5mm ( OUT D) x 1.35mm ( Inner D)

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.

WS-8478/WS-8478A/WS-8480

WS-1900/WS-2902/WS-2902A/WS-2902B

WS-2000/WS-2002/WS-5000

WS-1000/WS-1001/WS-1002

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.

Q: What size socket/wrench can I use to tighten the nuts for the u-bolts/u bolts for my outdoor sensor array?

A: 10mm

1. Install each M5 nut in the order above. 1, 2, 3 then 4.
2. Do not tighten with an impact driver. Hand tighten, then a half turn / 180 degrees. No more.
3. If your mounting pole is a soft material (wood, pvc, etc.) you may need to retighten the M5 nuts when you perform your maintenance every 3 months.

Place each curved foam insert in between the cutouts where the rain funnel locks into place.

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 inHg (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 by accessing https://ambientweather.net/baro, and set your weather station to match the official reporting station.

To enter the calibrated relative pressure into the console, you must enter the SET mode. To enter the SET mode, press and hold the SET button for two seconds, and press SET  eleven more times until the pressure flashes. This setting allows you to change the units of measure from inHg to mm to hPa.

Press SET one more time, and Relative Pressure will flash.

Press [WIND +] or [PRESSURE -] to adjust relative pressure up or down.

Reference Section 6.4.4 of the User Manual below for details on calibration of relative pressure:

https://p10.secure.hostingprod.com/@site.ambientweatherstore.com/ssl/Manuals/WS-2902A.pdf

The settings are summarized below.

If the forecast cloudy icon is flashing rain, this means there was a rapid drop in barometric pressure, indicating a storm is in the forecast 24-48 hours in advance. When the pressure rises again or stabilizes, the forecast icon will stop flashing.

In general, if the rate of change of pressure increases, the weather is generally improving (sunny to partly cloudy). If the rate of change of pressure decreases, the weather is generally degrading (cloudy, rainy or stormy). If the rate of change is relatively steady, it will read partly cloudy.

The reason the current conditions do not match the forecast icon is because the forecast is a prediction 24-48 hours in advance. In most locations, this prediction is only 70% accurate and it is a good idea to consult the National Weather Service for more accurate weather forecasts. In some locations, this prediction may be less or more accurate. However, it is still an interesting educational tool for learning why the weather changes.

The National Weather Service (and other weather services such as Accuweather and The Weather Channel) have many tools at their disposal to predict weather conditions, including weather radar, weather models, and detailed mapping of ground conditions.

Yes, you can purchase as many consoles as you like.

To purchase a second console, visit: https://www.ambientweather.com/amws2902aconsole.html

If your second console does not require connection to the Internet, and is for display purposes only, you can save by ordering the WS-1900 console:

https://www.ambientweather.com/amws1900console.html

The WS-2000 console also supports the Osprey Sensor array:

https://www.ambientweather.com/amwh32b.html

Press the RAIN button to switch between Rain Rate (in/hr), Rain Event, Rain Day, Rain Week, Rain
Month, and Rain Total.

• Resetting the weekly rain also resets the daily rain.
• Resetting the monthly rain also resets the daily and weekly rain.
• Resetting the total rain also resets the monthly, weekly and daily rain.

Note that the total rain is the accumulated amount since the last reset, and it not yearly rain, so if you wish total rain to display the yearly rain, you will need to reset the total rain to 0.00 on January 1.

To reset the rain totals, press and hold the RAIN button for two seconds.

If the weather station is showing the wrong day of the week:

1. Make sure the year is correct.
2. Make sure the month-day format is MM-DD and DD-MM (day/month vs month/day).
3. Make sure the time zone is set correctly if the console time is radio controlled or obtained over the Internet.
4. Make sure AM/PM is correct. If the clock is 12 hours ahead or behind, it can show the wrong day half of time.

To manually set the date and time, you must enter the Set Mode.

Press and hold the SET button for two seconds to enter the SET Mode. To proceed to the next setting, press (do not hold) the SET button.

To exit the SET mode at any time, press the LIGHT / SNOOZE button.

[SET] + 2 seconds means press and hold the SET button for two seconds.

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.

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

Q: How long is the AC Adapter cord/cable?

A: Most of our AC Adapter cables/cords are 5-6 feet long

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.
