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 “ ”
READING THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY
The kinetic wave display shows the main unit (receiver) signal
reception strength.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES
The maximum and minimum record of the indoor and
remote temperature 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 the "CHANNEL" and " " at the same time. The unit
will return to the current temperature display in 15 seconds.
To clear the memory, press and hold "CHANNEL" for
3 seconds and all 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.
* 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.
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 Color Weather
Forecaster with Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer 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.
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.
The unit is in searching mode.
