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 Moon Phase Clock.  
However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during 
daylight hours.  The Moon Phase 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.  This Moon Phase Clock regulates the 
WWVB transmitter.  For more information about WWVB please see the NIST website at 
http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm 

 
 
 

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE 
 

1)  Insert two fresh AA batteries into the moon phase clock. 
2)  Wait 10 minutes for WWVB reception. 
3)  If there is no WWVB reception, manually set the time and date (see 

instructions in the Program Mode section). 

4)  Program the settings. 
5)  Mount the WS-8007U in a suitable location where WWVB signals can be 

received.
