ABOUT WWVB (Radio Controlled Time)

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and T echnology-Time and Frequency Division) WWVB r adio station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits

P.4

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

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

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 plus resistance should not exceed 80 ft. in a straight line.

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.

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. TheWWVB 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. After 10minutes, the temperature alarm 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 alarm 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

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 alarm. Complete programming is usually done for the initial set-up, and will require you to skip step 1 of programming sections III through VIII. Press the "SNOOZE" button at any time to exit the program mode , or wait approximately 15

seconds for the temperature

alarm to automatically return to normal operation.
