IMPORTANT:

Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not followed as described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from all units and start the setup again from step 1.

Note: Daily WWVB reception (Atomic time) is attempted at the top of each hour between 12:00 am to 6:00 am. If the reception is successful, there is no reception attempt until the following day. When this is successful, the received time will override the manually set time. The date is also updated with the received time. (Please also refer to the notes on “WWVB Radio Controlled time” and “Manual Time Setting”)

WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology – Time and Frequency Division WWVB radio station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Wireless Weather Station. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The Wireless Weather Station will search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station receives the time data from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder,

Note: If the WWVB tower icon flashes on the top left of the LCD, but does not set the time or the tower does not appear at all, then please note the following:

Recommended distance from any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 6 feet (2 meters).

With ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back towards the Fort Collins, Colorado transmitter.

During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.

In case the Weather Station is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be manually set (please refer to the notes on Manual time setting).

INSTALL OR REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION

The Weather Station uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install or replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

Colorado. A team of atomic physicists is continually measuring every second, of every day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. These physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9.192.631.770 vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum. This atomic clock regulates the WWVB transmitter.

INSTALL OR REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER

The Temperature Transmitter uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6 and a 1.5V battery. To install or replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1.Remove the battery compartment cover at the back of the

transmitter.

2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking).

3. Replace the battery compartment cover on the unit.

Note:

When changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setup procedures. This is because a random security

code is assigned by the transmitter at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Weather station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to it.

BATTERY CHANGE:

1.Remove the cover at the back of the Weather Station.

2.Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking).

3.Replace compartment cover.
