ABOUT WWVB (Radio Controlled Time)
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency
Division) WWVB radio station 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 Temperature Clock.
However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during
daylight hours. The Temperature Clock 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 is continually measuring every
second, of every day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per 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.
QUICK SET-UP GUIDE
1)
Insert two AAA batteries into the remote transmitter.
2)
Insert two AA batteries into the Temperature Clock.
3)
Wait 10 minutes for WWVB reception and remote temperature.
4)
If there is no WWVB reception, manually set the time and date (instructions
in the Program Mode).
5)
Program the settings.
6)
Mount the WS-8011UM in a suitable location, where WWVB and
transmitter signals can be received.
7)
Mount the transmitter where remote temperature measurement is desired
(on the North side of a house for example).
