WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The NIST radio station, WWVB, is located in Ft. Collins, 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 Weather Station. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception

is very limited during daylight hours. The Weather Station 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 continually measures every second of every day to an accuracy of

ten billionths of a second a 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. This atomic clock regulates the

WWVB transmitter.

WWVB RECEPTION ICON with full signal strength will appear on screen in front of the date

when the reception of time is successful.

The tower icon will show solid when the Weather Station has received the WWVB signal.

No tower icon is shown. The Weather Station was unable to receive a signal at this time.

Reposition the Weather Station for better signal reception or try again at bedtime.

The Weather Station will start searching at UTC: 07:00 and if no reception on the first attempt they

will try again at 08:00, 09:00 and 10:00. Each attempt will be at least 2 minutes and the most will be

10 minutes.

If there is no signal or too much interference the receiver will only be on for 2 minutes.

If the signal is good it may catch a signal in ABOUT 2-3 minutes.

If the signal is marginal it will try to catch a signal for up to 10 minutes.

IMPORTANT: When operating on a/c power, the backlight and USB charge port will turn off while the

Weather Station searches for the WWVB signal, to avoid interference. Both features will return after

the 2-10 minute search which occurs during the late night or early morning hours.

Note: In case the Weather Station is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting

distance, etc.); the time may be manually set.

Manual Signal Search: In normal mode, hold the RCC button until the reception icon appears to force a

search of the WWVB signal. The WWVB icon will flash during the search. If this icon disappears after

the 2-minute search, the radio time signal is not available at the moment.

Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of

6 feet (2 meters).

Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened.

In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back towards the

Fort Collins, Colorado, transmitter.

During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in

most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.

Note: In case the Weather Station is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting

distance, etc.), the time and date can be manually set (see “program menu”).

the back of the Weather Station and allow your phone to charge. The Weather Station must be operating

with a/c power in order to charge your device.

DO NOT try to charge the weather station by connecting a USB cable from the Weather Station to your

computer etc. This is an output port only.

Connect your existing USB charging cord for your external device

to the USB charging port on the back of the Weather Station to

begin to charge. Charging times will vary.

Note: Check that your device will charge with the USB cord it came

with. Many USB cords are for data transfer only, and cannot be

used for charging.

Output: 1A maximum current USB.

Do NOT overload USB port.

Note: This is a power output (charging) port only. This port will

not supply power to the Weather Station.

IMPORTANT: When operating on a/c power, to avoid interference, the backlight and USB charge port

will turn off while the Weather Station searches for the WWVB signal. The backlight and USB charge port

resume after a 2-10 minute search which occurs during the late night or early morning hours.

when operating on batteries only.

WEATHER FORECAST ICONS:

The Weather Station unit predicts weather condition for the next 12-hours based on the change of

atmospheric pressure. As weather conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted we cannot be

responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast.

THIS STATION LEARNS!

Please allow 3-4 weeks for barometer calibration to generate an accurate forecast.

IMPORTANT: As the forecast station builds memory, it will compare the current average pressure to the

past forty day average pressure for increased accuracy. The longer the forecast station operates in one

location the more accurate the forecast icons will be.

The icons forecast the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or rainy as

each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does

not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has

dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy.

Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The weather forecasting

feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to the varying areas the Forecast Station

has been designed for use. In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny

to rain), the Forecast Station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is

stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny).

10

LCD SCREEN:

The LCD screen is split into 5 sections displaying the information for time, calendar, weather forecast,

indoor data, and outdoor data.

MIN/MAX TEMPERATURE/HUMIDTY DATA: This Weather Station features daily minimum and

maximum temperatures each day starting at midnight (12:00 AM). The Weather Station automatically

resets the min/max temperatures at midnight (12:00 AM).

VIEW MIN/MAX:

MAX: From a normal display press and release the MIN/MAX button once to view maximum

temperature and humidity values for Indoor and Outdoor data. The word MAX will appear next to the

indoor and outdoor temperature.

MIN: From a normal display press and release the MIN/MAX button twice to view minimum temperature

and humidity values for Indoor or Outdoor data. The word MIN will appear next to the indoor and

outdoor temperature.

RESET MIN/MAX: Hold the MIN/MAX button for 5 seconds to manually reset all indoor and outdoor

minimum and maximum values. (The Weather Station automatically resets the min/max temperatures

at midnight: 12:00 AM).

Note: If you are using multiple transmitters connected to the Weather Station, all channels will reset at the

same time.

11

HEAT INDEX:

Heat Index combines the effects of heat and humidity. It is the apparent temperature

of how hot it feels to a human being. When relative humidity increases, the air feels

warmer than it actually is because your body is less able to cool effectively by

evaporation of perspiration.

Note: Heat index will be the same number as the temperature until the temperature

is above 80 degrees °F (26.7°C).

View Heat Index: From a normal display press the HEAT/DEW button once and the

Heat Index will show (indoor/outdoor) instead of the ambient temperature. The

words Heat Index will show near the indoor and outdoor temperatures.

DEW POINT:

Dew point is the saturation point of the air, or the temperature to which the air has to be cooled in order to

create condensation. The higher the dew points, the higher the moisture content of the

air at a given temperature. Dew Point Temperature is the absolute measure of the

moisture in the air at a given temperature. Relative humidity is the relative measure of

moisture in the air at a certain temperature.

Note: Dew Point is lower than the actual temperature.

View Dew Point: From a normal display press the HEAT/DEW button twice and the

Dew Point temperature will show (indoor/outdoor) instead of the ambient temperature.

The words Dew Point will show near the indoor and outdoor temperatures.

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY FLASHING:

Low battery icon present: Change batteries in the transmitter, and then hold the CH button until

the station beeps to search for the outdoor transmitter again.

End of Transmission Range: Move the transmitter closer to the Weather Station. Avoid obstructions

in the signal path. Keep transmitter and Weather Station away from electronics.

LOW BATTERY ICON:

When this icon appears in the indoor (IN) data reading section, replace the batteries in the Weather

Station.

When this icon appears in the outdoor (OUT) data readings section, replace the batteries in the

outdoor transmitter.
