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 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
Temperature Alarm. However, due to the nature of the
Earth's Ionosphere, reception is very limited during
daylight hours. The Temperature Alarm 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.
QUICK SET-UP GUIDE
Hint
: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid
rechargeable batteries.
1. Have the temperature clock and remote temperature
sensor 3 to 5 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 temperature clock.
(All remote temperature sensors must be started
before the temperature clock)
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES.
In this time the temperature clock and remote
temperature sensor will start to talk to each other and
the temperature clock will show both the indoor
temperature and an outdoor temperature. If the
temperature clock does not display both temperatures
after the 10 minutes please retry the set up as stated
above. After both indoor and outdoor temperatures are
displayed for 10 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 remote temperature sensor has
a range of 80 feet. Any walls that the signal will have to
pass through will reduce distance. An outdoor wall or
window will have 20 to 30 feet of resistance and an interior
wall will have 10 to 20 feet of
resistance. Your distance
plus resistance should not exceed 80 ft. in a straight line.
NOTE
: Fog and mist will not harm your remote
temperature sensor but direct rain must be avoided.
To complete the set up of your temperature clock after
the 10 minutes have passed please follow the steps
below.
DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE
I) BATTERY INSTALLATION
Note
: To avoid start-up problems make sure that the
batteries do not spring free.
A) REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR
1) Remove the battery cover.
2) Observing the correct polarity, install 2 AA batteries.
The batteries will fit tightly (to avoid start-up problems
make sure that they do not spring free during
installation).
3) Replace the battery cover.
