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 and date 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. For more information on the atomic clock and WWVB please see the NIST website at

http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm.

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE

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

1. Have the indoor weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor 3 to 5 feet apart.

2. Batteries should be out of both the indoor weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor

units for 10 minutes.

3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature/humidity sensor first then into the indoor weather

station.

4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.

In this time the indoor weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor will start to talk to each other

and the display will show the indoor temperature/humidity, outdoor temperature/humidity, heat index and dew

point. If the indoor weather station does not display all information after the 15 minutes please retry the set up

as stated above. After all information has been displayed for 15 minutes you can place your sensors outdoors

and set your time.

Important Notes on Set-up and Operation

•The remote temperature/humidity sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area.

•Fog and mist will not harm your remote temperature/humidity sensor but direct rain must be avoided.

•The remote temperature/humidity sensor has a range of 330 feet. Any walls that the signal will have to pass

through will reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window can have up to 30 feet of resistance and an interior

wall can have up to 20 feet of resistance. Your distance plus resistance should not exceed 330 ft. in a

straight line.

•The remote temperature/humidity sensor transmits a signal every minute. After the batteries have been

installed, the indoor weather station will search for the signal for a duration of 4 minutes. If there is no

temperature or humidity reading in the OUTDOOR LCD after 4 minutes, make sure the units are within

range of each other, or repeat the battery installation procedure.

•If a button is pressed before the indoor weather station receives the signal from the remote

temperature/humidity sensor, you will need to follow the battery installation procedure again.

To complete the set up of your new wireless weather station after the 15 minutes have passed please follow the

steps that follow in the Detailed Set-Up Guide.

VII. TIME SETTING

There are two methods by which the time and date can be set:

A) Automatically via WWVB reception, or

B) Manually.

A. WWVB (Remote Control Time)

This method requires you to do nothing, except wait for the signal to be received, and to select a

time zone. Reception usually takes approximately 10 minutes during optimal conditions. The best

conditions for reception is at night, between midnight and 6:00 am—when there is less atmospheric

interference. To keep your time as accurate as possible, the indoor weather station conducts a

WWVB search every night between these hours, and overrides any manually set time. The WWVB

tower icon (appearing in the TIME LCD) will flash when a signal-search is in progress and a signal

is being received, and will remain steady when the signal has been received. If the WWVB time has

not been received after 15 minutes of battery installation, you may manually set the time or leave the

time function alone (reception will occur regardless).

B. MANUAL TIME SETTING

Note: When in the 12-hour format “P.M.” will appear to the left of the hour in the time LCD

between the hours of noon and midnight.

Note: Reception of the WWVB signal will automatically set the time. The reception of the

signal will override any programmed time.

pressing the WIND/SNZ button will deactivate the alarm and it will not come back on.

6. Press and release the SET button to confirm and advance to the forecast sensitivity setting.

X. SETTING THE FORECAST SENSITIVITY

Note: The forecast sensitivity can be adjusted to allow for areas that have a higher or lower

sensitivity to changing air pressure (for example coastal areas have more pressure change than

areas such as southern Arizona).

The numbers correspond to the amount of air pressure change necessary to trigger a change in

the forecast icon. Areas that tend to have more air pressure change would set the sensitivity to 3,

while areas that experience lower than normal air pressure change would set the sensitivity to 1.

1. Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds.

2. “LCD” will show in the TIME LCD and the number setting will flash.

I. WEATHER FORECAST

The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate and is for the next 12 to 24 hours. The

weather forecast is based solely upon the change of air pressure over time. The WS-9043U averages past

air-pressure readings to provide an accurate forecast—creating a necessity to disregard all weather

forecasting for 12-24 hours after the unit has been set-up, reset, or moved from one altitude to another

(i.e. from one floor of a building to another floor). In areas where the weather is not largely affected by

the change of air pressure, the sensitivity setting should be set to 1. In areas where the air pressure

changes more rapidly (such as coastal areas) the sensitivity setting should be set to 3.

A. WEATHER ICONS

There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed in the FORECAST LCD:

Sunny—indicates that the weather is expected to improve (not that the weather will be sunny).

Sun with Clouds—indicates that the weather is expected to be fair (not that the weather will be

sunny with clouds).

Clouds with Rain—indicates that the weather is expected to get worse (not that the weather will

be rainy).

These icons indicate the expected weather change in the next 12 to 24 hours. The icon does not

give an exact prediction of the weather, however it should be viewed as a generalization of the

expected weather change (for example a “sunny” icon indicates the weather is expected to

improve).

The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air pressure. The icons change in

order, from “sunny” to “partly sunny” to “cloudy” or the reverse. It will not change from
