TEMPERATURE TREND
The trend indicator shows the trend of temperatures collected
at a particular remote sight. There are three trends will be
shown: Rising, Steady, and Falling.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM TEMPERATURE
The maximum and minimum records of the indoor and
remote temperature will be automatically stored in the
memory.
The main unit will display the minimum, maximum and
the current reading upon each press of the MEM button.
If the MEM button is not pressed, the unit will return to the
current temperature display in 15 seconds.
To clear the memory, press and hold MEM for 3 seconds.
The maximum and minimum readings will be erased.
READING THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY
The kinetic wave display shows the signal receiving status
of the main unit. There are three possible forms:
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
radio station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado.
It transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout
the continental United States at 60KHz. Wireless Indoor/
Outdoor Thermometer can receive this WWVB signal
through its internal antenna from the distance up to 2,000
miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth’s ionosphere,
reception can be limited during the daytime. The radio control
clock will search for a signal every night when reception is
best. The WWVB radio station receives its signal from the
NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.
The WWVB tower icon on the main unit's display will flash
indicating radio signal reception from the WWVB radio
station. When the time signal is received, the WWVB tower
icon turns on and the time of the selected time zone will be
displayed. If only the part of the WWVB tower icon turns
on or the WWVB tower does not appear at all and the time
is not set, please consider the following:
* Make sure the main unit is positioned at 8 feet distance
from any interference source such as a TV, computer
monitors, microwave ovens, etc
* Within concrete rooms (basements, superstructures, office
buildings), the received signal will be weakened, and the
main unit should be placed close to a window.
* The successful reception of the atomic time signal depends
on the positioning and location of the main unit. Always
place the main unit by the window for better reception.
* During the night time, the atmospheric disturbances are
usually less severe and reception may be improved.
A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the
accuracy reading within 1 second.
Note: In case the radio-controlled clock is not able to detect
the WWVB signal (due to disturbances, transmitting
distance, etc), the time can be manually set and will
be maintained accurately until a signal is available.
