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. For more information about WWVB
please see the NIST website at http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm
QUICK SET-UP GUIDE
Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.
1. Have the indoor station and outdoor remote 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 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.
