POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The outdoor temperature transmitter can be mounted in two ways:
•
with the use of screws, or using the adhesive tape.
MOUNTING WITH SCREWS
1)
Remove the mounting bracket from the outdoor temperature transmitter.
2)
Place the mounting bracket over the desired location. Through the three
screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil.
3)
Where marked, start the screw holes into mounting surface.
4)
Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the
screws are flush with the bracket.
MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE
1) With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back of the mounting
bracket and the mounting surface to ensure a secure hold. The
mounting surface should be smooth and flat.
2) Remove the protective strip from one side of the tape. Adhere the
tape to the designated area on the back of the mounting bracket.
3) Remove the protective strip from the other side of the tape. Position
the outdoor temperature transmitter in the desired location, ensuring
that the atomic clock can receive the signal.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem:
The LCD is faint.
Solution:
1) Replace the batteries.
Problem:
No reception of WWVB signal
Solution:
1) It may help reception to face the front of the atomic clock in the general
direction of Ft. Collins, Colorado.
2) Wait overnight for signal.
3) Be sure the atomic clock is at least 6 feet (2 meters) from any electrical
devices, i.e. TV sets, computers, or other radio controlled clocks.
4) Remove batteries for five minutes, reinsert and leave the unit alone
overnight without pressing any keys.
Problem:
Hour is incorrect (minute and date are correct).
Solution:
1) Be sure the correct time zone and daylight saving time are selected.
Problem:
"OFL“ appears in the indoor temperature section of the LCD
Solution:
1) Move the atomic clock to an area with warmer or cooler surrounding
temperature. Current surrounding temperatures are outside measuring
range.
Problem:
"--.-" appears in the outdoor temperature section of the LCD.
Solution:
1) Remove the batteries of both units for one minute, then reinsert them
again. Make sure the batteries are new and fresh.
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.
3) Move the units to another location. Interferences from other electrical
devices operating on the same signal frequency (433MHz) may prevent
correct signal transmission and reception.
Problem:
"OFL“ appears in the outdoor temperature section of the LCD.
Solution:
1) Wait until the current surrounding temperature cools down or increases.
Current temperature is outside of the measuring range of the transmitter.
The outdoor temperature will be displayed again once the current
surrounding temperature is within the range of the transmitter.
