WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
radio station is located in Ft. Collins Colorado. It transmits
an exact time signal continuously throughout the continental
United States at 60 KHz frequency. The Atomic Clock
can receive this WWVB signal through its internal antenna
from up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth’s
ionosphere, reception can be limited during the daylight hours.
The radio controlled clock will search for an alternate station
that derives 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 station.
If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time is not set
automatically, please consider the following:
* During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are
typically less severe and reception may improve.
A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep
the accuracy reading within 1 second.
* Make sure the main unit is positioned at 8 feet minimum
distance from any interference source such as a TV,
computer monitor, microwave, etc. The successful reception
of the atomic time signal depends on the positioning and
location of the clock. Always place the unit by the
window for better reception.
* Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office
buildings, the received signal may be weakened.
Always place the unit near the window.
