READING THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY
The kinetic wave display shows the main unit (receiver)
signal reception strength.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM
TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY
The maximum and minimum records of the indoor/outdoor
temperature and humidity will be automatically stored
in the memory of the main unit (receiver). Main unit
will display the minimum, maximum and the current reading
upon each press of
MEM
button. The unit will return to the
current temperature display in 15 seconds.
To clear the memory, press and hold
MEM
button and
stored readings will be erased.
TEMPERATURE TRENDS
The temperature trend indicator shows the trend of
temperatures collected at particular remote sight. There are
three trends will be shown: rising, steady, and falling.
COMFORT LEVEL INDICATORS
The comfort level indicators
COM
,
WET
or
DRY
will tell
you if the current environment is comfortable, too wet or
too dry. The comfort indicators will appear on the display
of the main unit when the following conditions are satisfied:
The unit is in searching mode.

CHECKING REMOTE AND INDOOR TEMPERATURES
The wave icon on the main unit's display located near the
remote sensor reading line, indicates a good reception from
the remote sensor. If the temperature goes above or below the
temperature operating range stated in specifications, the
display will show dashes “ ”
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 Weather Forecaster
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.
* 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 main 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.
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.
