POSITIONING
Before permanently mounting ensure that the atomic clock is able to receive WWVB signals from the desired
location. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the atomic clock, and
changes in elevation will result with inaccurate temperatures readings for the next 12 to 24 hours. These
changes will require a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable data.
POSITIONING THE ATOMIC CLOCK:
There are two possible ways to mount the atomic clock:
use of the foldout table stand, or
wall mounting
FOLDOUT TABLE STAND
The foldout table stand leg is located on the backside. Pull the stand out from the bottom center edge
of the atomic clock, below the battery compartment. Once the foldout table stand is extended, place
the atomic clock in an appropriate location.
WALL MOUNTING
1) Using a straightedge, horizontally space at 4 inches (100 mm) three screw positions on a wall.
2) Install three mounting screws (not included) into a wall within transmission range—leaving
approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.
3)
Place the atomic clock onto the screws, using the hanging holes on the backside. Gently pull the
atomic clock down to lock the screws into place.
Note:
Always ensure that the atomic clock locks onto the screws before releasing.
POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can reach the outdoor temperature
transmitter. It is recommended to mount the outdoor temperature transmitter on a North-facing wall or in any
well shaded area. The maximum transmitting range is 82 feet (25 meters) obstacles such as walls, concrete, and
large metal objects can reduce the range.
Place both units in their desired location, and wait approximately 10 minutes before permanently mounting to
ensure that there is proper reception. The outdoor temperature transmitter is not waterproof and should not be
placed anywhere it will become submerged in water or be directly in the rain.
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.

Unsucessful reception of WWVB signal. Will
work as normal quartz clock. Will search for
the WWVB time signal overnight.
