POSITIONING
Before permanently mounting ensure that the atomic clock is able to receive WWVB signals from the
desired location. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the
atomic clock, and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate temperatures readings for the next
12 to 24 hours. These changes will require a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable data.
To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can reach the outdoor
temperature transmitter. It is recommended to mount the outdoor temperature transmitter on a
North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. The maximum transmitting range is 82 feet (25 meters)
obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.
Place both units in their desired location, and wait approximately 10 minutes before permanently
mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. The outdoor temperature transmitter is not
waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will become submerged in water or be directly in the
rain.
POSITIONING THE ATOMIC CLOCK:
There are two possible ways to mount the atomic clock:
• use of the foldout table stands, or
• wall mounting
FOLDOUT TABLE STAND
The Foldout table stand legs are located on the backside, at the
lower corners, and on both sides of the battery cover. The hinges
are towards the edges of the atomic clock, and the ends (with no
hinge) need to be folded out towards the edge. Once the Foldout
table stands are extended, place the atomic clock in an appropriate
location.
WALL MOUNTING
1) Using a straightedge, horizontally space at 2-3/4 of an inch (70 mm) three
screw positions on a wall.
2) Install three mounting screws (not included) into a wall within transmission
range—leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.
3) Place the atomic clock onto the screws, using the hanging holes on the
backside. Gently pull the atomic clock down to lock the screws into place.
Note:
Always ensure that the atomic clock locks onto the screws before releasing.
