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.

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE

BATTERY INSTALLATION

A. REMOTE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY SENSOR

1. Remove the battery cover by sliding the cover down.

2. 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).

3. Replace the battery cover by sliding upwards. Be sure battery cover is on securely.

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.

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 12:00 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.

VIII. 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.

XI. 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.

3. Press and release the SET button eleven times.

4. Either “1”, “2” or “3” will flash in the TIME LCD and the forecast icon and tendency arrows will flash in

FEATURES OF THE WS-9118U

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-9118U 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.

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 center of the INDOOR LCD. The indicator will display a happy face icon

when the temperature is between 68°F and 78.6°F, and the humidity is between 45% and 65%. A sad face icon will be

displayed when the temperature and humidity are outside the mentioned ranges.

III. OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY / HEAT INDEX / DEWPOINT

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

When there is more than one remote temperature/humidity sensor unit in operation, a “boxed” number will appear to the

center of the temperature. This indicates which remote temperature sensor unit (1, 2, or 3) is currently displaying its data

in the OUTDOOR LCD. (This feature is explained in further detail in section VII—Adding Remote Temperature

Sensors). The Heat Index and Dew Point will then be calculated from the received temperature/humidity readings.

IV. MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE, HEAT INDEX AND DEW POINT RECORDS

The WS-9118U keeps a record of the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM and date of their occurrence, for both the indoor and

outdoor modes.

A. VIEWING THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY RECORDS

1. Press and release the IN/HR button once. “MAX” temperature appears with the indoor temperature,

indicating that the maximum temperature and the time and date of occurrence are displayed. The maximum

record will display for 30 seconds before returning to the normal display mode.

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

otherwise). “MIN” appears with the indoor temperature, indicating that the minimum temperature and the

time and date of occurrence are displayed. The minimum record will display for 30 seconds before

returning to the normal display mode

3. Press and release the IN/HR button again (once while “MIN” temperature is still displayed, 3 times

otherwise). “MAX” appears with the indoor humidity, indicating that the maximum humidity and the time

and date of occurrence are displayed. The maximum record will display for 30 seconds before returning to

the normal display mode.

4. Press and release the IN/HR button again (once while “MAX” humidity is still displayed, 4 times

otherwise). “MIN” appears with the indoor humidity, indicating that the minimum temperature and the

time and date of occurrence are displayed. The minimum record will display for 30 seconds before

returning to the normal display mode
