4Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists continually measure everysecond of every day to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second a day. Thesephysicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium 133 atom in a vacuum. For moreinformation about WWVB please see the NIST website athttp://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htmQUICK SET-UP GUIDEHint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.1. Have the Wireless Weather Station and remote thermo/hygro sensor 3 to 5 feetapart.2. Batteries should be out of both units for 10 minutes.3. Place the batteries into the remote thermo/hygro sensor first then into theWireless Weather Station.(All remote thermo/hygro sensors must be started before the Wireless WeatherStation)4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.In this time the Wireless Weather Station and remote thermo/hygro sensor will start to talkto each other and the display will show both the indoor temperature/humidity and anoutdoor temperature/humidity. If the Wireless Weather Station does not display bothtemperatures after the 15 minutes please retry the set up as stated above. After bothindoor and outdoor temperatures and humidity are displayed for 15 minutes you can placeyour remote thermo/hygro sensor outdoor and set your time.The remote thermo-hygro sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The thermo-hygro sensor has a range of 330 feet. Keep in mind that the 330 feet is in open air with noobstructions and that radio waves DO NOT curve around objects. Actual transmissionrange will vary depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction (roof, walls,floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in half.Example: A Wireless Weather Station with a 330 feet range is mounted on an interior wall,so that the signal has to pass through one interior wall, one exterior wall, and across the 10feet width of the room between the 2 walls. The first wall will reduce the range to 165 feet,and the second wall will reduce the range to 87 feet. Factoring in the 10 foot room, thisleaves a maximum of 77 feet of remaining signal range.This allowance is typically enough for a frame wall with non-metallic siding; however certainmaterials can reduce range even further. Metal siding, stucco, and some types of glasscan reduce signal range by as much as ¾ or more, compared to the ½ reduction typical ofmost obstructions. It is possible to receive a signal through these materials, howevermaximum range will be much less due to their tendency to absorb or reflect a much largerportion of the sensor’s signal.DETAILED SET-UP GUIDEBattery InstallationI. BATTERY INSTALLATION (When on thermo/hygro sensor is being used)1. First, insert the batteries to the thermo/hygro sensor (see “A. RemoteThermo/hygro Sensor” below).2. Within 2 minutes of powering up the sensor, insert the batteries to the WeatherStation (see “B. Wireless Weather Station” below). Once the batteries are in
