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, remote temperature/humidity sensor and wind speed sensor 3 to 5 feet

apart.

2. Insert the telephone plug (RJ-11) from the wind speed sensor into the receptacle on the remote

temperature/humidity sensor.

3. Insert the telephone plug (RJ-11) from the rain sensor into the receptacle on the remote

temperature/humidity sensor (optional; sold separately)

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

for 10 minutes.

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

station.

6. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.

In this time the indoor weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor (and rain sensor if any) will start to talk

to each other and the display will show the indoor temperature/humidity, outdoor temperature/humidity and wind

speed. 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 is both the source of power for both outdoor sensors and source of

transmission for all remote sensor data.

•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.

•Direct rainfall will not harm the wind speed sensor.

•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 15 minutes. If there is no temperature or

humidity reading in the OUTDOOR LCD or wind speed in the WIND SPEED LCD after 15 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.

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE

BATTERY INSTALLATION

The first step to powering up the weather station is to insert the connector (RJ11) at the end of the wire attached to

the wind speed sensor to the remote temperature/humidity sensor. Please ensure when doing this that the connector

is inserted with the proper orientation. When seated properly you will hear the connector ‘click’ in place.

A. REMOTE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY

1. Remove the mounting bracket and humidity hood.

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.

5. Replace the humidity hood.

B. INDOOR WEATHER STATION

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 3 AA batteries.

3. Replace the battery cover.

C. RAINFALL SENSOR (optional)

The optional Rain Sensor does not need batteries to operate. Simply insert the telephone plug (RJ-11) of

the rain sensor into the receptacle on the remote temperature/humidity sensor.

Note: Immediately after the batteries have been installed, the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) will flash.

Within 15 seconds the indoor temperature, indoor relative humidity, and the weather icons (sun and

clouds) will be displayed. If not, remove batteries for 10 seconds and reinstall. If the outdoor

temperature is not displayed within four minutes, remove batteries from both units, wait 30 seconds,

and reinstall making sure to install batteries into the remote temperature sensor first. The time will

show -:-- and start searching for the WWVB signal. If it successfully receives the time signal (usually

at night), it will display the correct time (default time-zone is Eastern). You will need to adjust the time

zone to match your local time.

PROGRAM MODE

Programming Note: If 30 seconds are allowed to pass, or the WIND/SNZ button is pressed during the

programming mode, the unit will confirm/set the last information entered—the display will stop flashing and return

to normal time-date readings. If you don’t leave the program mode during the programming of sections IV through

XI, you can advance to step 4 of the next program setting. If you do leave the program setting (or want to

program a specific setting) follow each instructional step to program that setting.

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 10 minutes of

battery installation, you may manually set the time or leave the time function alone (reception will occur

regardless).

FEATURES OF THE WS-9046U

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-9046U 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 “sunny” directly to

“rainy”, although it is possible for the change to occur quickly. If the symbols do not change then the

weather has not changed, or the change has been slow and gradual.

B. WEATHER TENDENCY ARROWS

Other possible displays in the FORECAST LCD are 2 weather tendency arrows, one that points up

(on the left side of the LCD) and one that points down (on the right side of the LCD). These arrows

reflect current changes in the air pressure. An arrow pointing up indicates that the air pressure is

increasing and the weather is expected to improve or remain good, an arrow pointing down indicates

that the air pressure is decreasing and the weather is expected to become worse or remain poor. No

arrow means the pressure is stable.

II. INDOOR TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY, AND COMFORT LEVEL INDICATOR

The current indoor temperature and relative humidity are displayed in the INDOOR LCD.

The comfort level indicator is located at the bottom left of the INDOOR LCD. The indicator will display a

happy face icon when the temperature is between 68°F and 79°F (20°C and 25.9°C), and the humidity is

between 45% and 64%. A sad face icon will be displayed when the temperature and humidity are outside the

mentioned ranges.

III. OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY

The temperature and humidity received from the remote temperature/humidity sensor is viewed in the

OUTDOOR LCD.

IV. MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE RECORDS

The WS-9035U keeps a record of the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM temperature, and the time and date of their

occurrence, for both the indoor and outdoor modes.

A. VIEWING THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE RECORDS

2. Press and release the IN/HR button once. “MAX” appears to the right of the indoor temperature,

indicating that the maximum temperature (along with the humidity measured at that time) and the

time and date of occurrence are displayed. The maximum records will display for 30 seconds

before returning to the normal display mode.

3. Press and release the IN/HR button again (once while “MAX” is still displayed, twice otherwise).

“MIN” appears to the right of the indoor temperature, indicating that the minimum temperature

(along with the humidity measured at that time) and the time and date of occurrence are

displayed.

4. While “MIN” is still displayed press and release the IN/HR button again to return to the current

data display. Or you can wait 30 seconds, during either the minimum or the maximum readings,

and the unit will automatically return to current data readings.

B. VIEWING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE RECORDS

1. Press and release the OUT/MIN button once. “MAX” appears above the outdoor temperature and

the LCD will flash, indicating that the maximum temperature, and the time and date of occurrence

are displayed. The maximum records will display for 30 seconds before returning to the normal

display mode.

2. Press and release the OUT/MIN button again (once while “MAX” is still displayed, twice

otherwise). “MIN” appears to the right of the outdoor temperature, indicating that the minimum

temperature and the time and date of occurrence are displayed.

3. While “MIN” is still displayed press and release the OUT/MIN button again to return to the current

data display. Or you can wait 30 seconds, during either the minimum or the maximum readings,

and the unit will automatically return to current data readings.
