ABOUT 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 and date 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 Temperature Station. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The temperature station will search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, 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. For more information on the atomic clock and WWVB please see the NIST website at http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm.

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE

Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.

1.Have the Wireless Temperature Station and remote temperature sensor 3 to 5 feet apart.

2.Batteries should be out of both units for 10 minutes.

3.Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor first then into the Wireless Temperature Station.

(All remote temperature sensors must be started before the Wireless Temperature Station)

4.DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.

In this time the Wireless Temperature Station and remote temperature sensor will start to talk to each other and the display will show both the indoor temperature and an outdoor temperature. If the Wireless Temperature Station does not display both temperatures after the 15 minutes please retry the set up as stated above. After both indoor and outdoor temperatures are displayed for 15 minutes you can place your remote temperature sensor outdoors and set your time.

The remote temperature sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The temperature sensor has a range of 330 feet. Keep in mind that the 330 feet is in open air with no obstructions and that radio waves DO NOT curve around objects. Actual transmission range will vary depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each
