To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can reach the outdoor
temperature transmitter. It is recommended to mount the outdoor temperature transmitter on a
North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. The maximum transmitting range is 330 feet (100
meters). Obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.
Place both units in their desired location, and wait approximately 10 minutes before permanently
mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. The outdoor temperature transmitter is not
waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will become submerged in water or be directly in the
rain.
POSITIONING THE ATOMIC CLOCK:
There are two possible ways to mount the atomic clock:
•
use of the foldout table stands, or
•
wall mounting
FOLDOUT TABLE STAND
The foldout table stand legs are located on the backside, at the lower corners, just
below the battery cover. The hinges are towards the edges of the atomic clock, and the
ends (with no hinge) need to be folded out towards the edge. Once the foldout table
stands are extended, place the atomic clock in an appropriate location.
WALL MOUNTING
1) Using a straight edge, horizontally space at 2-3/4 of an inch (70 mm) three
screw positions on a wall.
2) Install three mounting screws (not included) into a wall —leaving
approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.
3) Place the atomic clock onto the screws, using the hanging holes on the
backside. Gently pull the atomic clock down to lock the screws into place.
Note:
Always ensure that the atomic clock locks onto the screws before releasing.
POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The outdoor temperature transmitter can be mounted in two ways:
•
with the use of screws
•
using the adhesive tape.
MOUNTING WITH SCREWS
1)
Remove the mounting bracket from the outdoor temperature transmitter.
2)
Place the mounting bracket over the desired location. Through the three
screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil.
3)
Where marked, start the screw holes into mounting surface.
4)
Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the
screws are flush with the bracket.
MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE
1) With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back of the mounting
bracket and the mounting surface to ensure a secure hold. The
mounting surface should be smooth and flat.
2) Remove the protective strip from one side of the tape. Adhere the
tape to the designated area on the back of the mounting bracket.
3) Remove the protective strip from the other side of the tape. Position
the outdoor temperature transmitter in the desired location, ensuring
that the atomic clock can receive the signal.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem:
The LCD is faint.
Solution:
1) Replace the batteries.
Problem:
No reception of WWVB signal
1) It may help reception to face the front of the atomic clock in the general
Solution:
direction of Ft. Collins, Colorado.
2) Wait overnight for signal.
