Maverick
WS-1000 Wireless
Weather Station with Atomic Clock
|
|
|
The Maverick
WS-1000 Weather Station is a full-featured wireless weather
instrument with an integral atomic alarm clock. In addition to the time,
the WS-1000 displays the month, date, and weekday along with indoor and
outdoor temperatures and humidity, an animated weather forecast icon,
current or historic barometric pressure with 24-hour history bar graph and trend arrow, and rainfall
rate or amount history. Outdoor temperature and humidity
data and rainfall data are transmitted to the main station from
the included thermo-hygro remote sensor and self-emptying rain collector,
respectively. We think you'll like the WS-1000's display. The
internally textured LCD panel is transparent so that all displayed
information seems to float within it. Also, the LCD panel is
continuously backlit in blue, and you can adjust the brightness. Although the WS-1000 has many features and
functions, its straightforward programming procedures and a quality
Owner's Manual make this weather station easy to set up and use. (You'll
find the Owner's Manual tucked into a holder on the underside of the
cover of the plastic foam packaging.)

The
WS-1000 weather forecasting station from Maverick is strikingly styled in
colors of semi-metallic silver and a very dark semi-gloss
gray. You'll
like the big, bold time display
and the wealth of additional information that appears to
float in the transparent, textured LCD panel. The
WS-1000's digital atomic clock
displays the time in big, bold hour and minute digits
1-1/4 inch tall. Seconds digits are about 5/8 inch tall,
and calendar, temperature, humidity, pressure, and rainfall digits
and characters are a little smaller than that. Also
displayed are an animated weather forecast icon, a
pressure trend arrow, and a pressure history bar graph. The LCD
panel is continuously backlit from both sides in a neon blue color, and
backlight brightness is adjustable.
If you use this weather station in your bedroom, you'll
really appreciate this feature.

The WS-1000 displays the
time as hour, minutes, and seconds in the top section of its
three-section LCD panel. To the right of the time, the month and date are displayed digitally in that
order. Directly below the month and date is a three-letter weekday abbreviation in English. The year
(2004 through 2099) is
displayed only during manual clock setup, which is optional. A radio
tower and waves icon above clock seconds flashes when the WS-1000 is
searching for the WWVB 60kHz time-synchronization radio signal from the
U.S atomic clock in Colorado and is displayed steadily along with WAVE
OK directly below it when the signal is received.
The indoor and outdoor
temperatures and relative humidity are displayed in the middle section
of the main station's LCD panel. You can select °F or °C as the temperature unit at
any time. The outdoor thermo-hygro remote included with the
WS-1000 is semi-metallic silver in color and has its own display for
local viewing. You
can select either temperature (in °F or °C) or humidity to be
displayed, or you can
option the remote to scroll between temperature and humidity. Like all outdoor
thermo and thermo-hygro remotes, this one is
splash resistant but not waterproof. It should be mounted in a location
where it is sheltered from direct sunlight and direct rain and snow. The
main station refreshes the data from the remote every 3 minutes.
You can display the maximum
and minimum indoor and outdoor temperatures and humidity recorded by the
WS-1000 since the last temperature and humidity memory reset. This is
done by pressing the MAX/MIN button on the main station. Maximum and
minimum values are displayed for 5 seconds, after which the display
returns to the current values.
The bottom section of the
WS-1000's LCD panel shows the forecast and pressure trend, the
barometric pressure and its history, and the rainfall amount and its
history. The weather forecast is for the next 6 hours, and any one of five animated icons is
displayed: Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy, Rainy (which predicts snow in
cold weather), and Stormy. The Stormy icon is displayed only when a
sudden and dramatic drop in atmospheric pressure occurs. An up arrow
above the word FORECAST to the left of the animated icon indicates rising
pressure and predicts improving weather. A down arrow below FORECAST
indicates falling pressure and predicts worsening weather. When no arrow
is displayed above or below FORECAST, this indicates steady or nearly steady pressure and predicts
that the weather will remain unchanged.
To the right of the forecast
icon, the current barometric pressure is displayed digitally. You can
select mb (millibars), inHg (inches of mercury), mmHg (millimeters of
mercury), or hPa (hectopascals) as the pressure unit. You can also press the main station's
HISTORY button repeatedly to display the average pressure of the
previous day, week, month, and season. These averages are displayed for 5
seconds. Season 1 is January 1 through March 31, Season 2 is April 1
through June 30, Season 3 is July 1 through September 30, and Season 4
is October 1 through December 31. The daily average is updated every day
at 12:00 a.m. The weekly average is updated every Sunday at 12:00 a.m.
The monthly average is updated on the first day of each month at 12:00
a.m. The season average is updated on the first day of each season at
12:00 a.m.
The barometric pressure bar
graph shows pressure changes over the last 24 hours. Specifically, the
graph shows the difference between the pressure at the indicated times
and the 24-hour pressure average. The maximum difference that can be
displayed is +/-6mb.
To the right of the pressure
display and graph is the rainfall display. You can view the average
rainfall rate in inches or millimeters per hour, and you can also view the
rainfall total for the previous day, week, month, and season in inches or
millimeters. The totals are displayed by pressing the HISTORY button and
are shown for 5 seconds. Updates occur as described above for barometric
pressure.
The atomic clock in the
WS-1000 displays the time in 12-hour format with AM or PM, or
in 24-hour format. The clock is factory-set
to automatically change for Daylight Saving Time. If you live in an area
that does not observe Daylight Saving Time (Arizona and parts of
Indiana), you can simply press the DST ON-OFF button to disable the
automatic time changes. As mentioned above, successful
reception of the time-synchronization radio signal is indicated by a
radio tower and waves icon and WAVE OK below it. After time
synchronization occurs, you select your continental U.S. time zone (PST,
MST, CST, or DST) by means of the station's TIME ZONE button. PST is the
factory-default selection. The DST ON or OFF status and the selected
time zone abbreviation are displayed to the right of the reception icon and WAVE OK indication.
The clock has a single
daily alarm that can be set with or without the snooze function. When
the alarm only is turned on, an alarm icon appears below the colon (:)
that separates hour and minutes. When the alarm with snooze is turned
on, Zz also appears above the colon. With alarm on and snooze off, the
alarm beeps for 1 minute unless you press the SNOOZE/LIGHT bar to turn
it off earlier. With alarm and snooze on, the alarm beeps for 1 minute
unless you press the SNOOZE/LIGHT bar to turn it off. If you let the
alarm sound for 1 minute, it turns off automatically for 5 minutes and
then repeats every 5 minutes until you turn it off. If you press the
SNOOZE/LIGHT bar while the alarm is sounding, it turns off and sounds
again 5 minutes later.
All pushbuttons and other
controls on the WS-1000 are located on the top and sides of the base for
easy access. We think that this weather forecast station is quite
good-looking, and we really like the neon blue color and adjustable
brightness of the display backlight.
The WS-1000 main station is
designed for free-standing use on a table, shelf, or desk
in your home or office or on a nightstand at home. The thermo-hygro
remote has an integral fold-out table stand for free-standing use and a
separate wall-mounting bracket. Depending on the mounting location, you
can secure the bracket with screws or two-sided tape (both are
included). The rain collector (which is black in color) is a
free-standing unit. It must be located on an absolutely horizontal
surface, and it can be secured with the included screws and washers if
desired.
The WS-1000 main station is
powered from an included ac adapter. The main station also uses four AAA
batteries for backup in case of ac power failure. When the main station
is operating on batteries, the continuous
backlight is disabled, but time and temperature
information remain displayed and the backlight goes on when for 3
seconds when you
press the SNOOZE/LIGHT
bar. The remote temperature sensor
and the rain collector are each
powered by two AA batteries. All batteries are included, and those for
the rain collector are preinstalled. By the way, when you replace the
batteries in the rain collector, you'll need a precision screwdriver to
remove six screws that secure the battery compartment cover. We found
that a 000
Phillips screwdriver works well for this.
With handsome styling, lots
of useful features, and a really cool display, the Maverick WS-1000
Weather Station makes a great gift. And don't forget to get one for
yourself! This product comes with a manufacturer's limited 1-year
warranty.

Note:
This product has "atomic" clock functionality. Atomic, or Radio Controlled clocks receive
a radio signal to set themselves. Like any radio receiver however, they may not
be able to receive the signal if they are in a building with a lot of steel in
the structure, near computers or other electrical equipment that may generate
interference, or if the weather is unsuitable. The signal they receive does not
propagate well during the day. That's the nature of the signal, not the clock.
These clocks are designed to catch the signal when they can, generally in the
middle of the night, calibrate themselves, and then run quite accurately for
days until they can catch another signal. When you first put in the batteries,
they will most likely not set themselves until the middle of the night. That's
normal. By morning, weather permitting, it should be correct. Under less than
ideal conditions, it could take a few days. Daylight savings time changes may
not be made the first night if location and weather are not favorable.
