communications between the main unit (receiver) and the remote sensor

(transmitter) are wireless, thus simplifying the installation. The remote

temperature and humidity sensor transmits data to the main unit, with an

operating range of up to 200 feet (60 meters) in the open.

The remote temperature and humidity sensor can be placed indoors or

outdoors, depending on the area where the temperature and humidity are intended to be measured. If you intend measuring outdoor temperature and humidity, place the remote sensor outdoors.

NOTE: It is critical to power the remote sensor BEFORE setting up the main

unit.

NOTE: It is critical to power up and test communication between the remote sensor and the main unit BEFORE permanently mounting it outside.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

REMOTE TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY SENSOR

• We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote sensor and the

main unit. When outdoor temperatures are below 32°F (0°C) we recommend using lithium batteries.

• Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries cannot

maintain correct power requirements)

• ALWAYS install batteries in the remote sensor before the main unit

• Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity in the battery

compartment

• Remove protective plastic screen from LCD display (if any)

• During initial set up, place the remote sensor close to the main unit

• After reception is established (remote readings will appear on the main

unit’s display), position the remote sensor and the main unit within the

effective transmission range of up to 200 feet (60 meters). Ideally the

remote sensor should be placed within the line of sight from the main

unit.

WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) radio station

(WWVB) is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits an exact time signal

continuously throughout the most of the continental United States. The Atomic

Time Clock in your weather station receives this WWVB signal through the

internal antenna from up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth’s

ionosphere, reception can be limited during the daylight hours. The radio

controlled clock will search for the atomic time signal.

The WWVB tower icon on the unit’s display will flash indicating a radio signal

reception from the WWVB station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time

and date are not set automatically, consider the following:

• During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are typically less

severe and radio signal reception may improve. A single daily reception

is sufficient enough to keep the clock accuracy within 1 second.

• Make sure the unit is positioned at 8 feet (2 meters) distance from any

interference source such as a TV, computer monitor, microwave, etc.

received signal may be weakened. Always place the unit near the

window for better reception.

Once the atomic time signal is received, the date and time will be set

automatically, and the [ ] icon will appear. The atomic clock receiver is

programmed that it will continue to search for the atomic time signal daily for

every hour between 1:00 am and 4:30 am. Once the time signal has been

successfully received, the time and date will be updated automatically.

To enable or disable the atomic time receiver:

• Press and hold UP (+) - if atomic time reception is activated, a tower

icon will start flashing next to the clock icon. If reception is disabled, the

tower icon will disappear.

than the measured air temperature, since perspiration evaporates rapidly to

cool the body. However, when humidity is high (i.e., the air is saturated with

water vapor) the apparent temperature “feels” warmer than the actual air

temperature, because perspiration evaporates more slowly.

Temperature °F VS relative humidity

1) When the air temperature is lower than 76 °F (24.4 °C), the heat index is

the same as the measured air temperature.

2) If the calculated heat index is lower than 80 °F (26.7 °C), the heat index

will be the same as the air temperature.

3) If the maximum value of heat index is limited to 199.9 °F (93.3 °C).
