  • Page 10: 433Mhz Reception Check For Outdoor Temperature Transmitter

    433MHz RECEPTION CHECK FOR OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER The atomic clock will receive the temperature data within 10 minutes. If the temperature data is not received 10 minutes after setting up (the display shows “- - -”), then please check the following points: The distance of the atomic clock or outdoor temperature transmitter should be at least 6 feet away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
  • Page 11: Wwvb Radio Controlled Time

    WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME The NIST radio station, WWVB, 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 atomic clock. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours.
  • Page 12: Icon Description

    ICON DESCRIPTION: Unsuccessful reception of WWVB Currently searching for the signal. Will work as normal quartz Successful reception of WWVB time signal (tower clock. Will search for the WWVB time WWVB time signal blinking) signal overnight. POSITIONING Before permanently mounting ensure that the atomic clock is able to receive WWVB signals from the desired location.
  • Page 13: Wall Mounting

    WALL MOUNTING 1) Using a straightedge, horizontally space at 2.36 inches (60 mm) three screw positions on a wall. 2) Install three mounting screws (not included) into a wall within transmission range—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.
  • Page 14: Troubleshooting

    Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the screws are flush with the bracket. MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back of the mounting bracket and the mounting surface to ensure a secure hold.

    Solution: 1) Remove the batteries of both units for ten minutes, then reinsert them again. Make sure the batteries are new and fresh. See setting 2) Move the atomic clock closer to the transmitter or place the transmitter closer to the atomic clock. Make sure the clock is at a receivable range from the transmitter.
