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 Temperature station. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The temperature 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.

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

1. Have the indoor temperature station and remote

temperature sensor 3 to 5 feet apart.

2. Batteries should be out of both units for 10

3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature

sensor first then into the indoor temperature station. (All outdoor remotes must be started before the indoor station)

4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15

MINUTES. In this time the indoor temperature station and remote temperature sensor will start to talk to each other and the display will show the indoor temperature, humidity and an outdoor temperature. If the indoor temperature 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 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 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 80 ft. in a straight line. Note: Fog and mist will not harm your remote temperature sensor but direct rain must be avoided. Note: The remote temperature sensor transmits a signal every minute. After the batteries have been installed, the indoor temperature station will search for the signal for a duration of 15 minutes. If there is no temperature reading in the OUTDOOR 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

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 condition 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 temperature 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).

IV. ADDING REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSORS

(OPTIONAL) The WS-7215U 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 DATE TIME DST

P.15set-up of remote temperature sensor units with the WS-7215U. These extra 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 use in pools, spas, etc. Note: When setting up multiple units it is important to remove the batteries from all existing units in operation, then to insert batteries first into all the remote temperature sensor units, and in numeric sequence. Second install batteries into the indoor temperature station. Transmission problems will arise if this is not done correctly and if the total time for set-up exceeds 6 minutes.

A. 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 temperature

6. Follow the Detailed Set-Up Guide for

programming and operating instructions.

B. VIEWING AND OPERATING WITH MULTIPLE

REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR UNITS

1. To view the temperature of a different remote

temperature sensor unit, press and release the CH button. A shift from one “boxed” number to the next should be observed in the OUTDOOR LCD.

2. To view the Minimum/Maximum temperature: first

select which remote temperature sensor to read data from (indicated by the “boxed” number), then press the OUT button. Pressing this button once will display the minimum temperature, and the date and time the data was recorded. Pressing this button a second time (while “MIN” is still displayed, otherwise press the button twice) will display the same data for the maximum recordings.

3. To reset the Minimum/Maximum readings, it is

necessary to select which remote temperature sensor you wish to reset. Press and hold the OUT button for 5 seconds, the records for the selected remote temperature sensor unit will be reset. MOUNTING Note: Before permanently mounting ensure that the indoor temperature 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 temperature station. To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can reach the remote temperature sensor or indoor temperature station. While the remote temperature sensor is weather proof, avoid submersion in water or snow. We recommend that you mount the remote temperature sensor on an outside 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 15 minutes before permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. The indoor temperature station should display a temperature in the OUTDOOR LCD within 4 minutes of setting up.

I. THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The remote temperature sensor can be mounted in two ways:

• with the use of screws, or

• using the adhesive tape.

A. MOUNTING WITH SCREWS

1) Remove the mounting bracket from the remote

2) Place the mounting bracket over the desired

3) Through the three screw holes of the bracket,

mark the mounting surface with a pencil.

4) Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting

surface. Ensure that the screws are flush with the bracket.

5) Insert the remote temperature sensor into the

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 secure hold. The mounting surface should be smooth and flat.

2) Remove the protective strip from one side of the

3) Adhere the tape to the designated area on the

back of the mounting bracket.

4) Remove the protective strip from the other side

5) Position the remote temperature sensor in the

desired location, ensuring that the indoor temperature station can receive the signal.

II. THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE STATION

The indoor temperature station can be mounted in two ways:

• with the table stand or,

• 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.

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 indoor temperature station down

to lock the screw into place. TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: For problems not solved, please contact La Crosse Technology. Problem: No reception of WWVB time signal. Solution:

1) Wait overnight for signal.

2) Be sure the Temperature station is at least 6 feet

from any electrical devices, such as televisions, computers, or other radio-controlled clocks.

3) Remove batteries for five minutes, reinsert and

leave the unit alone overnight without pressing buttons.

4) If there are still problems, contact La Crosse

P.19Problem: Hour is incorrect (minute and date are correct) Solution: Be sure correct time zone and daylight saving time settings are selected. Problem: The LCD is faint Solution:

1) Set the LCD contrast to a higher number

2) Replace batteries

Problem: No outdoor temperature is displayed. Solution:

1) Remove all batteries, reinsert into remote

temperature sensor first, then display.

2) Place remote sender closer to display.

3) Be sure all batteries are fresh.

4) Place Remote Control Sender and Temperature

station in position so the straight-line signal is not passing through more than two or three walls. Problem: Temperatures do not match if units are placed next to each other. Solution: Each temperature sensor is manufactured to be accurate to within 1 degree plus or minus and under normal conditions, so two sensors could be as much as 2 degrees different. However, the difference can be exaggerated further because the sensors are designed for different working environments. The indoor sensor is less responsive to ambient air currents because of the shielding effect of the display’s case. In addition, the case can act as a heat sink to absorb and store heat from external sources (i.e. handling of the case or radiant heat). Also, the much greater range of the outdoor temperature sensor requires a different calibration curve than the indoor range. Error is usually greater at the extreme ends of a range, making it harder to compare different ranges with different curves. Under non-laboratory conditions, it is difficult to compensate for the above factors and obtain an accurate comparison.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• Extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock should be avoided to prevent damage to the units.

• Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents; they may mark the displays and casings.

• Do not submerge in water.

• Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage.
