POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER

The outdoor temperature transmitter can be mounted in two ways:

•with the use of screws, or using the adhesive tape.

MOUNTING WITH SCREWS

1)Remove the mounting bracket from the outdoor temperature transmitter.

2) Place the mounting bracket over the desired location. Through the three screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil.

3)Where marked, start the screw holes into mounting surface.

4) Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the screws are flush with the bracket.

MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE

1)With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back of the mounting bracket and the mounting surface to ensure a secure hold. The mounting surface should be smooth and flat.

2)Remove the protective strip from one side of the tape. Adhere the

tape to the designated area on the back of the mounting bracket.

3)Remove the protective strip from the other side of the tape. Position the outdoor temperature transmitter in the desired location, ensuring that the atomic clock can receive the signal.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem:

The LCD is faint.

Solution:

1)

Replace the batteries.

Problem:

No reception of WWVB signal

Solution:

1)

It may help reception to face the front of the atomic clock in the general

 

 

direction of Ft. Collins, Colorado.

 

2)

Wait overnight for signal.

 

3)

Be sure the atomic clock is at least 6 feet (2 meters) from any electrical

 

 

devices, i.e. TV sets, computers, or other radio controlled clocks.

 

4)

Remove batteries for five minutes, reinsert and leave the unit alone

Problem:

 

overnight without pressing any keys.

Hour is incorrect (minute and date are correct).

Solution:

1)

Be sure the correct time zone and daylight saving time are selected.

Problem:

"OFL“ appears in the indoor temperature section of the LCD

Solution:

1)

Move the atomic clock to an area with warmer or cooler surrounding

 

 

temperature. Current surrounding temperatures are outside measuring

Problem:

 

range.

"--.-" appears in the outdoor temperature section of the LCD.

Solution:

1)

Remove the batteries of both units for one minute, then reinsert them

 

 

again. Make sure the batteries are new and fresh.

 

2)

Move the atomic clock closer to the transmitter or place the transmitter

 

 

closer to the atomic clock. Make sure the clock is at a receivable range

 

 

from the transmitter.

 

3)

Move the units to another location. Interferences from other electrical

 

 

devices operating on the same signal frequency (433MHz) may prevent

Problem:

 

correct signal transmission and reception.

"OFL“ appears in the outdoor temperature section of the LCD.

Solution:

1)

Wait until the current surrounding temperature cools down or increases.

 

 

Current temperature is outside of the measuring range of the transmitter.

 

 

The outdoor temperature will be displayed again once the current

 

 

surrounding temperature is within the range of the transmitter.
