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 Clock. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The Temperature Clock 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

1) Insert two AAA batteries into the remote transmitter.

2) Insert two AA batteries into the Temperature Clock.

3) Wait 10 minutes for WWVB reception and remote temperature.

4) If there is no WWVB reception, manually set the time and date (instructions

in the Program Mode).

5) Program the settings.

6) Mount the WS-8011UM in a suitable location, where WWVB and

transmitter signals can be received.

7) Mount the transmitter where remote temperature measurement is desired

(on the North side of a house for example).

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 TRANSMITTER

1) Remove the battery cover. Place your thumb over

the two air-vent slots on the face of the Remote Temperature Transmitter, push down gently, and

Battery Cover

slide battery cover down and off. Observing the correct polarity, install 2 AAA batteries. The batteries will fit tightly (to avoid start-up problems make sure that they do not spring free during installation).

2) Replace the battery cover.

B) TEMPERATURE CLOCK

1) Remove the battery cover,

located on the backside of the unit and directly below the

Battery Cover

function buttons.

2) Observe the correct polarity,

and install 2 AA batteries.

Battery Compartment

3) Replace the battery cover.

Note: After the batteries have been installed a tone will sound, and all the LCD’s (Liquid Crystal Display) will briefly light up. The indoor temperature, the date as “1/ 1”, the weekday as “MON”, and the remote temperature will be displayed (within three minutes). Also, the time will appear as “-:--” for approximately 1 minute. The WWVB search is automatically initiated, and a tower icon appears and flashes with the time colon (no tower icon will appear if the WWVB is too weak to be detected, and the time display will remain on “-:--”). While the WWVB search is being conducted various numbers will appear in the time display. Within 10 minutes the Temperature Clock will either display the WWVB time, or discontinue the search if the time is not found. If the search is cancelled “-:--” will appear in the time LCD. The Temperature Clock will conduct a WWVB search every hour until the first signal is found. Once the WWVB time is found, a search is automatically conducted nightly at midnight. If the signal is found at midnight, the tower icon will remain, if not, another search will take place every hour (until 6:00 am) until the signal is found successfully. If no signal is found during this period, the tower icon will not appear and the clock will search again at 12:00 am the next night.

II) PROGRAM MODE

To enter the Program Mode hold down the “SET” button for 2 seconds, until “-5EST” flashes in the Date LCD. The Program Mode is laid out in a manner that allows you to program each function separately, or you can follow the instructions entirely to program the Temperature Clock. Complete programming is usually done for the initial set-up, and will require you to skip step 1 of programming sections C

through H. Press the “SNOOZE” button at any time to exit the Program Mode, or wait approximately 15 seconds for the Temperature Clock to automatically return to normal operation.

A) FUNCTION BUTTONS

There are 4 function buttons located on the backside of the Temperature Clock. The function buttons are labeled: SET, +, ALARM, and SNOOZE.

B) TIME ZONE SETTING

1) Hold down the “SET” button for 2 seconds, the default setting “-5EST” will

flash in the Date LCD.

2) Press the “+” button to select the appropriate time zone. There are 13 time

zones to choose from:

-4ATL Atlantic Time

-5EST Eastern Time (default setting)

-6CST Central Time

-7MST Mountain Time

-8PST Pacific Time

-9ALA Alaskan Time

-10HAW Hawaiian Time

-11, -12 Next two time zones West of HAW GMT Greenwich Mean Time

-1, -2, -3GMT Three time zones West of GMT

3) Press the “SET” button to confirm the time zone setting, and to advance to

DST (Daylight saving time) setting.

C) DST (DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME) SETTING

Note:

The DST default is “On”, meaning that the WWVB will automatically change the time according to Daylight Saving Time in the spring and fall. For areas that do not recognize DST changes (Arizona, Hawa ii and parts of Indiana) turn the DST “OFF”.

1) Hold down the “SET” button for 2 seconds (the selected time zone will

flash); press the “SET” button once more until “On” flashes in the time LCD and “DST” flashes where the Weekday normally appears.

2) Press the “+” button to turn the DST off, as will be indicated by the display

of “OFF” in the time LCD.

3) Press the “SET” button to confirm the DST setting, and to advance to select

the language for the weekday.
