ABOUT WWVB

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency Division) radio station, WWVB, 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 Weather Station. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The Weather 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 continually measure every second of every day to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second a 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. This Weather Station regulates the WWVB transmitter.

SET-UP GUIDE

I. BATTERY INSTALLATION

1. Remove the battery cover—insert a solid object in the space provided at the lower-central position of the battery cover, push up and pull out on the battery cover.

2. Observe the correct polarity and install 3 AA batteries.

3. Replace the battery cover.

Immediately after the batteries have been installed

Note:

each LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) will flash. Within a few seconds the indoor temperature, indoor relative humidity, and the weather icons (sun and clouds) will be displayed. If not, then remove batteries for 10 seconds and reinstall. The time will show 12:00 am and start searching for the signal. If it successfully receives the time signal (usually at night), it will display the correct time (default is Eastern)

PROGRAM MODE

Programming Note:

during programming modes the unit will confirm/set the last information entered—the display will stop flashing and return to normal time-date readings. If for program settings IV through XI, you don’t leave the program mode you can advance to step 3 of the following program setting. If you do leave the program setting (or want to program a specific setting) follow each step in the program settings instruction.

Function Keys:

If 20 seconds is allowed to pass

II. TIME

There are two methods by which the time can be set:

1) Automatically via WWVB reception

2) Manually (see section III)

WWVB (Remote Control Time)

This method requires you to do nothing but wait for the signal to be received, and to select a time zone. Reception usually takes approximately 6-8 minutes during optimal conditions. The best conditions for reception is at night, between midnight and 6:00 am, when there is less atmospheric interference. To keep your time as accurate as possible, the Weather Station conducts a WWVB search every night between these hours, and overrides any time that has been set manually. The WWVB tower icon

(appearing in the TIME LCD) will flash when a search is in progress, will remain steady when the signal has been received, and nothing will be displayed in all other situations. If the WWVB time has not been received after 10 minutes of battery installation, you may manually set the time or leave the time function alone (reception will occur regardless).

III. MANUAL TIME SETTING

1. Press and hold the MODE/SET button for 5 seconds, or until “Lcd 5” flashes in the TIME LCD.

2. Press the MODE/SET button two more times. The digit representing the hour should be flashing.

3. Press the CH/+ button to select the appropriate hour.

Note: In 12h mode, “PM” will appear to the left of the time during PM hours. If the time is not within the PM hours nothing will be displayed. Be sure to set the time to the correct AM/PM time to ensure automatic reception.

4. Press the MODE/SET button to set the minutes. The digits that represent the minutes will flash.

5. Press the CH/+ button to advance the minutes.

6. Press the MODE/SET button to confirm and advance to the time zone setting.

IV. TIME ZONE SETTING

The default time zone is EST (Eastern Standard Time), to change this setting:

1. Press and hold the MODE/SET button for 5 seconds, or until “Lcd 5” flashes in the TIME LCD.

2. Press the MODE/SET button four more times; “-5” should flash in the TIME LCD.

3. Select your appropriate time zone using the CH/+ button. The TIME LCD displays the 3 letter abbreviations for the time zones found in North America. Observe the chart below, showing corresponding abbreviations, time zones, and codes.

GMT 0 Atlantic -4 EST; Eastern -5 CST; Central -6 MST; Mountain -7 PST; Pacific -8 ALA; Alaska -9 HAW; Hawaii -10

Note: There are more time zones represented by numbers than there are represented by letters. If you live in North America you need only be concerned with the ones in the chart above.

4. Press the MODE/SET button to confirm and advance to the Daylight Saving Time setting.

V. DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME (DST) SETTING

1. Press and hold the MODE/SET button for 5 seconds, or until “Lcd 5” flashes in the TIME LCD.

2. Press the MODE/SET button 5 more times to reach the DST selection mode. DST 1 is the default setting and both “DST” and “1” are flashing in the TIME LCD.

3. DST 1 shows that the feature is on and will change times automatically.

4. DST 0 shows that the feature is off and will not change times automatically.

Note:

Some locations (Arizona and parts of Indiana) do

not follow Daylight Saving Time.

5. Press the MODE/SET button to confirm and advance to the Year setting mode.

VI. SETTING THE YEAR

1. Press and hold the MODE/SET button for 5 seconds, or until “Lcd 5” flashes in the TIME LCD.

2. Press the MODE/SET button 6 more times to reach the Year setting mode.

3. The default year “2000” appears in the TIME LCD.

4. Press the CH/+ button to advance the years.

5. Press the MODE/SET button to confirm and advance to the numeric date setting mode.
