INVENTORY OF CONTENTS 1) WS-8056U 2) TX6U remote temperature transmitter 3) Instruction manual and warranty card. ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT (not included) 1) 2) 3) 4) Two fresh 1.5V AA batteries. Two fresh 1.5V AA batteries. Three wall-hanging screws. Appropriate screwdriver for screws. ABOUT WWVB (Radio Controlled Time) The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency Division) WWVB radio station is located in Ft.
QUICK SET-UP GUIDE Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries. 1. 2. 3. 4. Have the temperature clock and remote temperature sensor 3 to 5 apart. Batteries should be out of both units for 10 minutes. Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor first then into the temperature clock. (All remote temperature sensors must be started before the temperature clock) DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES.
DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE I) BATTERY INSTALLATION Note: To avoid start-up problems make sure that the batteries do not spring free. A) REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR 1) Remove the battery cover. Place your thumb over the two air-vent slots on the face of the remote temperature sensor, push down gently, and slide battery cover down and off. 2) Observing the correct polarity, install 2 AA batteries. The batteries will fit tightly (to avoid start-up problems make sure that they do not spring free during installation).
II) PROGRAM MODE To enter the program mode hold down the “SET” button for 2 seconds, until “-5EST” flashes in the date LCD. The program mode is laid out in a manner that allows you to program each function separately, or you can follow the instructions entirely to program the temperature alarm. Complete programming is usually done for the initial set-up, and will require you to skip step 1 of programming sections III through VIII.
C) DST (DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME) SETTING Note: The DST default is “On”, meaning that the WWVB will automatically change the time according to Daylight Saving Time in the spring and fall. For areas that do not recognize DST changes (Arizona and parts of Indiana) turn the DST “OFF”. 1) Hold down the “SET” button for 2 seconds (the selected time zone will flash); press and release the “SET” button once more until “On” flashes in the time LCD and “DST” flashes where the weekday normally appears.
F) CALENDAR SETTING Note: When the WWVB signal is found, that date will over-ride the manually set date. 1) Hold down the “SET” button for 2 seconds (the selected time zone will flash), press and release the “SET” button 5 more times until the default year “00” flashes in the date LCD. 2) Press and release the “+” button to select the year. 3) Press and release the “SET” button to confirm the year and to move to select the month. 4) The default month “1” will flash.
III) FEATURES & OPERATIONS A) CHANGING DISPLAY MODE (DAY, SECONDS, AND TEMPERATURE) There are three possible display modes to view the day, seconds, and temperature. The month&date/weekday /indoor temperature/remote temperature is the default. To change the display: 1) Press and release the “+” button. 2) The display should now show the month&date/seconds/indoor temperature/remote temperature 3) Press and release the “+” button a second time.
B) THE ALARM 1) SETTING THE ALARM Note: The duration of the alarm is 85 seconds. After each of the first two 25 second periods, the rate of the alarm increases. (a) Hold down the “ALARM” button for 5 seconds. The “TIME” icon to the right of the minutes (in the time LCD) shifts to “ALARM” and the hour digit of the alarm flashes. (b) Press and release the “+” button to set the alarm hour. (c) Press and release the “ALARM” button to confirm the hour and to set the alarm minutes.
C) INDOOR TEMPERATURE The indoor temperature appears on the right side of the date LCD. The temperature is checked every 10 seconds and updated whenever there is a change. D) REMOTE TEMPERATURE The remote temperature will be shown on the right side of the lower LCD screen. The temperature alarm receives the outdoor temperature (°F or °C) from the remote temperature sensor, and the temperature appears in the outdoor LCD.
V) MAINTENANCE & CARE • • • • • Extreme temperatures, vibrations, 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 and damage the displays and casings. Do not submerge in water. Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace with new batteries only, and of recommended size. Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair the units.
TROUBLESHOOTING The LCD is faint. Problem: 1) Replace the batteries. Solution: “OFL” appears in the indoor temperature LCD. Problem: 1) Move unit to an area with warmer or cooler surrounding Solution: temperature. Current surrounding temperatures are outside measuring range. No reception of WWVB signal. Problem: 1) It may help reception to face the front of the temperature Solution: alarm in the general direction of Ft. Collins, Colorado. 2) Wait overnight for signal.
