About the Atomic Clock

A clock is considered atomic if it has an accuracy of one second in a million years. Consumer clocks are considered atomic if they attain this accuracy by receiving a signal from an atomic clock. In North America, the National Institute of Standards and Technologies operates an atomic clock in Colorado which transmits the time codes via the radio station WWVB. The Acurite clock you have purchased includes a built-in receiver which picks up the signal from the WWVB station. For the best possible reception, place the main unit with the back side facing Colorado. NOTE: Due to solar radiation in the atmosphere, the atomic clock signal is weaker during the day. Most synchronization with the WWVB atomic clock signal happens at night when there is less interference.

About the Wireless Sensor

This wireless weather station features a wireless sensor that provides wind, temperature and humidity data and broadcasts this information to the main display unit. This wireless sensor will provide accurate outdoor weather conditions when placed properly. The wireless sensor contains sensitive electronic components and a balanced anemometer (for wind speed measurement). Care must be taken during setup and when considering placement to make certain the unit is not dropped or struck with any falling debris from trees or structures.

ANEMOMETER:

Provides wind speed,

wind speed peak and

wind speed average

SOLAR-WEATHER SHIELD: Provides some protection

from solar radiation

aecting temperature

precipitation from entering

MOUNTING POINT:

The wireless sensor can be mounted onto a pipe (pipe not included) or onto the included surface mount bracket

SECTION 2 • SETUP

A/B/C Wireless Selection

To allow for more than one weather station and wireless sensor network to be used in close proximity, the main unit and the wireless sensor have a small switch labeled “A B C” within the battery compartments. This switch selects one of 3 wireless modes to use, and both switches MUST be set in matching positions (either A, B, or C) for wireless communication to take place successfully.

Battery Choice & Temperature Range

Extended periods of cold temperatures ( below -4ºF / -20ºC ) can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. This will cause the outdoor wireless sensor to stop transmitting temperature readings. Use lithium batteries in these low temperature conditions to ensure continued operation for wireless sensors placed outdoors. NOTE: Rechargeable batteries are not recommended due to higher operating voltages.

Install Batteries

NOTE: Install all batteries in both units within a 6 minute period to ensure proper wireless functionality. Always install batteries into the wireless sensor FIRST.
