INVENTORY OF CONTENTS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. The Wireless Temperature Station (Figure 1). One remote temperature sensor with mounting bracket (Figure 2). Three each, ½” Philips screws.
2. 3. Two fresh AA 1.5V batteries for the remote temperature sensor. One, Philips screwdriver for mounting. 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 Wireless Temperature Station.
obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in half. Example: A Wireless Temperature Station with a 330 feet range is mounted on an interior wall, so that the signal has to pass through one interior wall, one exterior wall, and across the 10 feet width of the room between the 2 walls. The first wall will reduce the range to 165 feet, and the second wall will reduce the range to 87 feet.
A. REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR 1. 2. 3. 4. Remove the mounting bracket. The bracket snaps on and off easily. Battery Remove the battery cover, by sliding the Cover cover down. 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). Replace the battery cover by sliding upwards. Be sure battery cover is on securely. B. WIRELESS TEMPERATURE STATION 1. 2. 3. Remove the battery cover.
successful (icon on) or not (icon off). On the other hand, the short blinking of the icon shows that a reception is being done now. • If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz) for 45 seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried another 45 seconds. If still not successful the reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done for re-synchronization.
II. FUNCTION KEYS The function keys are located on the front of the unit directly below the LCD. III. SETTING THE LCD CONTRAST 1. 2. Press and hold the SET button for 5 seconds. “LCD” will show in the time LCD and the number setting will flash. Note: There are 8 LCD contrast levels to choose from—“Lcd 0” is the lightest, and “Lcd 7” is the darkest. 3. 4. Press and release the IN button to select the level you desire. Press and release the SET button to confirm and advance to the Time Zone setting.
5. Press and release the IN button to select your time zone. Note: When a time zone for the U.S. is selected the corresponding abbreviation will appear above the time (please see the table on the next page). It is possible to select any time zone from –12 GMT to +12 GMT (for example to see the time in another country) TIME ZONES GMT ALT Atlantic EST Eastern CST Central MST Mountain PST Pacific ALA Alaska HAW Hawaii 6. V.
Note: Some locations (Arizona and parts of Indiana) do not follow Daylight Saving Time, and should select “DST 0.” 6. Press and release the SET button to confirm and advance to the radio-controlled time on/off setting. VI. RADIO-CONTROLLED TIME ON/OFF SETTING 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Press and hold the SET button for 5 seconds. “LCD” will show in the time LCD and the number setting will flash. Press and release the SET button three times.
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. 6. VIII. Press and release the SET button to confirm and advance to the time setting. 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.
4. The time will flash in the time LCD. 5. 6. 7. Press and release the IN button to advance the hours. Press and release the OUT button to advance the minutes. Press and release the SET button to confirm and advance to the year setting. IX. SETTING THE YEAR, DAY AND MONTH Note: Reception of the WWVB signal will also set the date and day. The reception of the signal will override any programmed date and day. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Press and hold the SET button for 5 seconds.
Note: This is an unused function of the Wireless Temperature Station and should be disregarded. The setting has no bearing on the operation. Please press and release the SET button to advance to select the temperature format. XI. SELECTING °F OR °C 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. XII. Press and hold the SET button for 5 seconds. “LCD” will show in the time LCD and the number setting will flash. Press and release the SET button nine times. Either ”°F” or “°C” will flash in the time LCD.
FEATURES OF THE WS-7215U-IT WWVB Tower Icon (indicates time reception) Comfort Level Indicator Satellite icon (indicates outdoor transmission) Sensor Identification number I. INDOOR TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY The current indoor temperature (viewed on the left) and relative humidity (viewed on the right) are displayed in the INDOOR LCD. II. OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE The temperature received from the remote temperature sensor is viewed in the OUTDOOR LCD.
III. MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE RECORDS The WS-7215U-IT 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 1. Press the IN button once. “MIN” appears above the indoor temperature and the LCD will flash, indicating that the minimum temperature and the humidity, and the time and date of temperature occurrence are displayed.
2. 3. are displayed. The minimum records will display for 30 seconds before returning to the normal display mode. Press the OUT button again (once while “MIN” is still displayed, twice otherwise). “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. While “MAX” is still displayed press the OUT button again to return to the current data display.
humidity, and the time as 12:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. 4. The outdoor temperature from the first sensor (channel 1) should then be displayed on the Wireless Temperature Station. If this does not happen and the signal reception icon is not shown, after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1. 5.
3. 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. 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.
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 bracket. 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 tape. 3) Adhere the tape to the designated area on the back of the mounting bracket.
B. WALL MOUNTING 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 Wireless Temperature Station onto the screw using the hanging hole on the backside. 4) Gently pull the Wireless Temperature Station down to lock the screw into place. TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: For problems not solved, please contact La Crosse Technology.
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.
