The Weather Station will search fora signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio stationderives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. Ateam of atomic physicists is continually measuring every second, ofevery day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. Thesephysicists have created an international standard, measuring a secondas 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum. Formore information on the atomic clock and WWVB please see the NISTwebsite at http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm.QUICK SET-UP GUIDEHint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeablebatteries.1. Have the Wireless Weather Station and remote temperature sensor3 to 5 feet apart.2. Batteries should be out of both units for 10 minutes.3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor first theninto the Wireless Weather Station.(All remote temperature sensors must be started before the WirelessWeather Station)4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.In this time the Wireless Weather Station and remote temperaturesensor will start to talk to each other and the display will show both theindoor temperature and humidity, and an outdoor temperature. If theWireless Weather Station does not display both temperatures after the15 minutes please retry the set up as stated above. After both indoorand outdoor temperatures are displayed for 15 minutes you can placeyour remote temperature sensor outdoor and set your time.The remote temperature sensor should be placed in a dry, shadedarea. The temperature sensor has a range of 330 feet. Keep in mindthat the 330 feet is in open air with no obstructions and that radiowaves DO NOT curve around objects. Actual transmission range willvary depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction(roof, walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signalrange in half.Example: A Wireless Weather Station with a 330 feet range is mountedon an interior wall, so that the signal has to pass through one interiorwall, one exterior wall, and across the 10 feet width of the room betweenthe 2 walls. The first wall will reduce the range to 165 feet, and thesecond wall will reduce the range to 87 feet. Factoring in the 10 footroom, this leaves a maximum of 77 feet of remaining signal range.This allowance is typically enough for a frame wall with non-metallicsiding; however certain materials can reduce range even further. Metalsiding, stucco, and some types of glass can reduce signal range by asmuch as 3/4 or more, compared to the 1/2 reduction typical of mostobstructions. It is possible to receive a signal through these materials,however maximum range will be much less due to their tendency toabsorb or reflect a much larger portion of the sensor’s signal.To complete the set up of your Wireless Weather Station after the 15minutes have passed please follow the steps that follow in the DetailedSet-Up Guide.DETAILED SET-UP GUIDEI. BATTERY INSTALLATION(When one temperature sensor is being used)1. First, insert the batteries to the temperature sensor (see “A. RemoteTemperature Sensor” below).2. Within 30 seconds of powering up the sensor, insert the batteriesto the Weather Station (see “B. Wireless Weather Station” below).Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will lightup briefly. Following the indoor temperature and humidity, and thetime as 12:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 secondsbefore reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed usermay proceed to the next step.3. After the batteries are inserted, the Weather Station will startreceiving data signal from the sensor. The outdoor temperatureshould then be displayed on the Weather Station. If this does nothappen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed fromboth units and reset from step 1 and the signal reception icon is nolonger shown.A. REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR1. Remove the mounting bracket. The bracket snaps on and off easily.GB P.4 GBP.5Battery Cover2. Remove the battery cover, by sliding the cover down.3. Observing the correct polarity install 2 AA batteries. The batterieswill fit tightly (to avoid start-up problems make sure they do notspring free).4. Replace the battery cover by sliding upwards. Be sure battery coveris on securely.B. WIRELESS WEATHER STATION1. Remove the battery cover. To do this, insert a solid object in thespace provided at the lower-central position of the battery cover,then push up and pull out on the battery cover.2. Observe the correct polarity, and install 2 AA batteries.3. Replace the battery cover.* When the signal is successfully received by the Weather Station,the icon will be switched on. (If not successful, the icon will not beshown in LCD) So the user can easily see whether the last receptionwas successful (icon on) or not (icon off). On the other hand, theshort blinking of the icon shows that a reception is being done now.• If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency(915MHz) for 45 seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHzand the learning is tried another 45 seconds. If still not successfulthe reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This will also bedone for re-synchronization.PROGRAM MODEProgramming Note: If 30 seconds is allowed to pass, or the CH buttonis pressed during the programming mode, the unit will confirm/set thelast information entered-the display will stop flashing and return tonormal time-date readings. If you don’t leave the program mode duringthe programming of sections III through XII, you can advance to step 4of the next program setting. If you do leave the program setting (orwant to program a specific setting) follow each instructional step toprogram that setting.I. PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE AND DEFAULT SETTINGSThe programming sequence and default (factory) settings are asfollows:LCD Contrast 5Time Zone -5 (Eastern)Daylight Saving Time 1 (on)Radio-controlled time reception ON12/24-hour time 12Time 12:00Year 2006Day and Month 1.1.Snooze (this function not used) 10Temperature Format ˚FForecast Sensitivity 2Please note that while there is a snooze adjustment in the programmingthis is an unused function as there is no alarm on the Wireless WeatherStation.II. FUNCTION KEYSThe function keys are located on the front of the unit directly below theLCD.III. SETTING THE LCD CONTRAST1. Press and hold the SET button for 5 seconds.2. “LCD” will show in the time LCD and the number setting will flash.Note: There are 8 LCD contrast levels to choose from-”Lcd 0" is thelightest, and “Lcd 7” is the darkest.GB P.6 GBP.7Battery CoverSensor signalreception icon* |
