Note:
When the 433 MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the
outdoor temperature transmitter or radio-controlled clock, as the batteries may spring free
from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units
(see
Setting-up
above) otherwise transmission problems may occur.
The maximum transmission range is
330 feet
from the outdoor temperature transmitter to
the radio-controlled clock (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding
environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of
these factors, all system units have to be reset (see
Setting-up
). See our website
www.skyscaninfo.com for more information.
POSITIONING
Before permanently mounting ensure that the radio-controlled clock is able to receive
WWVB signals from the desired location. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature
will decrease the accuracy of the radio-controlled 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 RADIO-CONTROLLED CLOCK:
There are 2 possible ways to mount the radio-controlled clock:
•
use of the foldout table stands, or
•
wall
mounting
FOLDOUT TABLE STAND
The foldout table stand legs are located on the lower section of the backside of
the radio-controlled clock. Pull the stands out from the bottom center edge,
below the battery compartment. Once the foldout table stands are extended,
place the radio-controlled clock in an appropriate location.
