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 weather
station. However, due to the nature of the earth’s ionosphere, reception is very
limited during daylight hours. The weather station 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


QUICK SET-UP GUIDE

 

Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.

 

1. Have the indoor weather station and remote temperature sensor 3 to 5
feet apart.
2. Batteries should be out of both units for 10 minutes.
3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor first then into
the indoor weather station.


(All remote temperature sensors must be started before the indoor
weather station)

4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES.


 

In this time the indoor weather station and remote temperature sensor will start to
talk to each other and the indoor weather station will show both the indoor
temperature and an outdoor temperature. If the indoor weather station does not
display both temperatures after the 10 minutes please retry the set up as stated above.
After both indoor and outdoor temperatures are displayed for 10 minutes you can
place your remote temperature sensor outdoors and set your time.

 

The remote temperature sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The remote
temperature sensor has a range of 80 feet. Any walls that the signal will have to pass
through will reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window will have 20 to 30 feet of
resistance and an interior wall will have 10 to 20 feet of resistance. Your distance
plus resistance should not exceed 80 ft. in a straight line.

 

NOTE: Fog and mist will not harm your remote temperature sensor but direct rain
must be avoided.

 

To complete the set up of your indoor weather station after the 10 minutes have
passed please follow the steps starting on page 6.

 

Note: The remote temperature sensor transmits a signal every 3 minutes;
after the batteries have been installed, the indoor weather station will
search for the signal for a duration of 5 minutes. If there is no temperature
reading in the OUTDOOR LCD after 5 minutes, make sure the units are
within range of each other or repeat the battery installation procedure.

 

 


DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE

 

 Battery Installation
A. Remote Temperature Sensor
1. Remove the mounting bracket. The bracket
snaps on and off easily.
2. Remove the battery cover, by sliding the cover
down.
3. Observing the correct polarity install 2 AA
batteries. The batteries will fit tightly (to avoid
start-up problems make sure they do not spring
free).
4. Replace the battery cover by sliding upwards. Be
sure battery cover is on securely.
1. Remove the battery cover. To do this,
insert a solid object in the space provided
at the lower-central position of the battery
cover, then push up and pull out on the
battery cover.
2. Observe the correct polarity, and install 2
AA batteries.
3. Replace the battery cover.


B. Indoor Weather Station

 


 

 

 


 

 

Note: Immediately after the batteries have
been installed, each LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) will flash and a tone will
sound. Within a few seconds the indoor temperature, indoor relative
humidity and the weather icons (sun and clouds) will be displayed. If not,
then remove batteries for 10 seconds and reinstall. If the outdoor
temperature is not displayed within four minutes, remove batteries from
both units, wait 10 seconds, and reinstall. The time will show -:-- and start
searching for the signal. If it successfully receives the time signal (usually
at night), it will display the correct time (default is Eastern).

 

 


Program Mode


 

Programming Note: If 30 seconds are allowed to pass or either the IN or the OUT
button is pressed during programming modes, the unit will set the last information
entered—the display will stop flashing and return to normal time-date readings.

WEATHER FORECAST AND WEATHER TENDENCY:

 

WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS:

 

Note: The weather forecast icons of this indoor weather station are a prediction of
what the weather is going to do in the next 12 to 20 hours. These are not
indications of the current weather.

 

Weather icons in the fourth section of LCD can be displayed in any of the following
combinations:

 

 

 


 

 

 

Sunny Cloudy with sunny intervals Rainy

 

For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure the weather icons will
update accordingly to represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change,
then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow
for the indoor weather station to register. However, if the icon displayed is a sun or
raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better (with
sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already at their extremes.

 

The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not
necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current
weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is
faulty because it is not raining. This simply means that the air pressure has dropped
and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy.

 

Note: After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the
next 12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the indoor weather
station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in
a more accurate forecast.

 


Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The
weather forecasting feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due
to the varying areas the indoor weather station has been designed for use in. In areas
that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the
indoor weather station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the
weather is stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny).

 

If the indoor weather station is moved to another location significantly higher or
lower than its initial standing point (for example from the ground floor to the upper
floors of a house), disregard the weather forecast for the next 12-24 hours. By doing
this the indoor weather station will not mistake the new location as being a possible
change in air-pressure when really it is due to the slight change of altitude.

 

WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR

 

Working together with the weather icons is the weather tendency indicators (located
on the upper left and right side of the weather icons). When the indicator points
upwards, it means that the air-pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to
improve, but when indicator points downwards, the air-pressure is dropping and the
weather is expected to become worse.

 

Taking this into account one can see how the weather has changed, and is expected
to change. For example, if the indicator is pointing downwards together with cloud
and sun icons, then the last noticeable change in the weather was when it was sunny
(the sun icon only). Therefore, the next change in the weather will be cloud with rain
icons since the indicator is pointing downwards.

 

Note: Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in air pressure, it
will remain permanently visualized on the LCD.

 

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE:

 

 


 

 

 

 

Text Box: Outdoor temperature in °F or °C
Text Box: Transmitter identification number (only if there are more than one transmitter)
Text Box: MAX or MIN display of selected transmitter

The last LCD section can show the outdoor temperature, the reception indicator and
the minimum or maximum reading. A number beside the temperature will also be
shown if more than one remote temperature sensor has been used.

 

TOGGLING AND RESETTING THE OUTDOOR RECORDINGS:

 

1. To toggle between the outdoor current, maximum and minimum temperature
data and the times they were recorded press and release the “MAX/MIN R”
button:


• Once to show the maximum outdoor temperature data with the recorded
time and date.
• Twice to show the minimum outdoor temperature data with the recorded
time and date.
• Three times to return to the current displayed values.


2. To toggle between transmitters, press and release the “CHANNEL” button:


• Once to show transmitter 2
• Twice to show transmitter 3
• Three times to return to transmitter 1


 

Note: The transmitter number will only be displayed if there is more than one
transmitter being used.

 

3. To reset the maximum and minimum outdoor temperature, and the time at which
they were recorded, press and hold the “MAX/MIN R” button for 4 seconds.
This will reset all minimum and maximum data recorded to the displayed values
for the selected remote temperature sensor.


 

ADDING OUTDOOR REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSORS (OPTIONAL)

 

The WS-9016U is able to receive signals from 3 different remote temperature
sensors. The remote temperature sensor model(s) that you choose will come with
their own set of instructions. Follow these instructions for a complete guide to
setting up. Following are some brief instructions for the basic set-up of remote
temperature sensor units with the WS-9016U. These extra remote temperature
sensors can be purchased through the same dealer as this unit, or by contacting La
Crosse Technology directly. A TX6U will monitor temperature only, a TX3U will
monitor temperature and display the temperature on its LCD, and the TX3UP will
monitor the temperature via a probe for measuring soil or water temperatures..

 


Note: When setting up multiple units it is important to remove the batteries
from all existing units in operation. Then insert batteries into all the
remote temperature sensor units in numeric sequence. Second, install
batteries into the indoor weather station. Transmission problems will arise
if this is not done correctly and if the total time for set-up exceeds 6
minutes.

 

SET-UP OF MULTIPLE UNITS

 

1. It is necessary to remove the batteries from all units currently in
operation.

2. Remove the battery covers to all remote temperature sensor units.

3. Place all remote temperature sensor units in a numeric sequential order.

4. In sequential order, install batteries (follow the same battery
installation procedures seen in section I. A) of the Detailed Set-Up
Guide).

5. Install batteries into the indoor weather station.

6. Follow the Detailed Set-Up Guide for programming and operating
instructions.

 

MOUNTING

 

Note: Before permanently mounting ensure that the indoor weather station
is able to receive WWVB signals from the desired location. Also, extreme
and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the
indoor weather station and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate
weather forecasting for the next 12 to 24 hours. These changes will require
a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable data. To achieve a true
temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can reach the
remote temperature sensor. We recommend that you mount the remote
temperature sensor on a North-facing wall. The sending range is 80ft—
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 indoor weather station should display a temperature in the
OUTDOOR LCD within 4 minutes of setting up.

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR

 

 The remote temperature sensor can be mounted in two ways:

• with the use of screws
• using the adhesive tape


 

 

 

A. MOUNTING WITH SCREWS

 

1. Remove the mounting bracket from the remote
temperature sensor.
2. Place the mounting bracket over the desired location.
3. Through the three screw holes of the bracket, mark the
mounting surface with a pencil.
4. Where marked, start the screw holes into mounting
surface.
5. Screw the mounting bracket onto the mounting surface.
6. Ensure that the screws are flush with the bracket.


 

B. 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

THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE STATION

 

The indoor temperature station can be mounted in two ways:

• with the table stand

• on the wall with the use of a wall hanging screw (not included)

 

A. USING THE TABLE STAND

 

The indoor temperature station comes with the table stand
already mounted. If you wish to use the table-stand all that is
required is to place the indoor temperature station in an
appropriate location.

 

 

B. WALL MOUNTING

 

1. Remove the table stand. To do this, pull down on the
stand from the rear and rotate forward.
2. Fix a screw (not included) into the desired wall leaving
approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the
wall.
3. Place the indoor temperature station onto the screw using
the hanging hole on the backside.
4. Gently pull the station down to lock the screw into place.
