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 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.

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE  
Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.  
1. Have the indoor weather station and remote temperature sensor 3 to 5  
feet apart.  
2. Batteries should be out of both units for 10 minutes.  
3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor first then into  
the indoor weather station.  
(All remote temperature sensors must be started before the indoor  
weather station)  
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES.  
In this time the indoor weather station and remote temperature sensor will start to  
talk to each other and the indoor weather station will show both the indoor  
temperature and an outdoor temperature. If the indoor weather station does not  
display both temperatures after the 10 minutes please retry the set up as stated above.  
After both indoor and outdoor temperatures are displayed for 10 minutes you can  
place your remote temperature 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 will have 20 to 30 feet of  
resistance and an interior wall will have 10 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.  
To complete the set up of your indoor weather station after the 10 minutes have  
passed please follow the steps starting on page 6.  
Note: The remote temperature sensor transmits a signal every 3 minutes;  
after the batteries have been installed, the indoor weather station will  
search for the signal for a duration of 5 minutes. If there is no temperature  
reading in the OUTDOOR LCD after 5 minutes, make sure the units are  
within range of each other or repeat the battery installation procedure.

start-up problems make sure they do not spring  
free).  
4. 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 2  
AA batteries.  
3. Replace the battery cover.  
Note: Immediately after the batteries have  
been installed, each LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) will flash and a tone will  
sound. Within a few seconds the indoor temperature, indoor relative  
humidity and the weather icons (sun and clouds) will be displayed. If not,  
then remove batteries for 10 seconds and reinstall. If the outdoor  
temperature is not displayed within four minutes, remove batteries from  
both units, wait 10 seconds, and reinstall. The time will show -:-- and start  
searching for the signal. If it successfully receives the time signal (usually  
at night), it will display the correct time (default is Eastern).

WEATHER FORECAST AND WEATHER TENDENCY:  
18  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS:  
Note: The weather forecast icons of this indoor weather station are a prediction of  
what the weather is going to do in the next 12 to 20 hours. These are not  
indications of the current weather.  
Weather icons in the fourth section of LCD can be displayed in any of the following  
combinations:  
Sunny  
Cloudy with sunny intervals  
Rainy  
For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure the weather icons will  
update accordingly to represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change,  
then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow  
for the indoor weather station to register. However, if the icon displayed is a sun or  
raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better (with  
sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already at their extremes.  
The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not  
necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current  
weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is  
faulty because it is not raining. This simply means that the air pressure has dropped  
and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy.  
Note: After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the  
next 12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the indoor weather  
station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in  
a more accurate forecast.  
Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The  
weather forecasting feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due  
to the varying areas the indoor weather station has been designed for use in. In areas  
that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the  
19  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
indoor weather station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the  
weather is stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny).  
If the indoor weather station is moved to another location significantly higher or  
lower than its initial standing point (for example from the ground floor to the upper  
floors of a house), disregard the weather forecast for the next 12-24 hours. By doing  
this the indoor weather station will not mistake the new location as being a possible  
change in air-pressure when really it is due to the slight change of altitude.  
WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR  
Working together with the weather icons is the weather tendency indicators (located  
on the upper left and right side of the weather icons). When the indicator points  
upwards, it means that the air-pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to  
improve, but when indicator points downwards, the air-pressure is dropping and the  
weather is expected to become worse.  
Taking this into account one can see how the weather has changed, and is expected  
to change. For example, if the indicator is pointing downwards together with cloud  
and sun icons, then the last noticeable change in the weather was when it was sunny  
(the sun icon only). Therefore, the next change in the weather will be cloud with rain  
icons since the indicator is pointing downwards.  
Note: Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in air pressure, it  
will remain permanently visualized on the LCD.

TOGGLING AND RESETTING THE OUTDOOR RECORDINGS:  
1. To toggle between the outdoor current, maximum and minimum temperature  
data and the times they were recorded press and release the “MAX/MIN R”  
button:  
Once to show the maximum outdoor temperature data with the recorded  
time and date.  
Twice to show the minimum outdoor temperature data with the recorded  
time and date.  
Three times to return to the current displayed values.  
2. To toggle between sensors, press and release the “CHANNEL” button:  
Once to show sensor 2  
Twice to show sensor 3  
Three times to return to sensor 1  
Note: The sensor number will only be displayed if there is more than one sensor  
being used.  
3. To reset the maximum and minimum outdoor temperature, and the time at which  
they were recorded, press and hold the “MAX/MIN R” button for 4 seconds.  
This will reset all minimum and maximum data recorded to the displayed values  
for the selected remote temperature sensor.  
ADDING OUTDOOR REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSORS (OPTIONAL)  
The WS-9016U 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 set-up of remote  
temperature sensor units with the WS-9016U. These extra remote temperature  
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 measuring soil or water temperatures..  
Note: When setting up multiple units it is important to remove the batteries  
from all existing units in operation. Then insert batteries into all the  
remote temperature sensor units in numeric sequence. Second, install  
batteries into the indoor weather station. Transmission problems will arise  
21  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
if this is not done correctly and if the total time for set-up exceeds 6  
minutes.  
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 weather station.  
6. Follow the Detailed Set-Up Guide for programming and operating  
instructions.  
MOUNTING  
Note: Before permanently mounting ensure that the indoor weather 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 weather station and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate  
weather forecasting 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  
remote temperature sensor. We recommend that you mount the remote  
temperature sensor on a 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 10  
minutes before permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper  
reception. The indoor weather station should display a temperature in the  
OUTDOOR LCD within 4 minutes of setting up.

THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR  
The remote temperature sensor can be mounted in two ways:  
with the use of screws  
using the adhesive tape  
A. MOUNTING WITH SCREWS  
1. Remove the mounting bracket from the remote  
temperature sensor.  
2. Place the mounting bracket over the desired location.  
3. Through the three screw holes of the bracket, mark the  
mounting surface with a pencil.  
4. Where marked, start the screw holes into mounting  
surface.  
5. Screw the mounting bracket onto the mounting surface.  
6. Ensure that the screws are flush with 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

THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE STATION  
The indoor temperature station can be mounted in two ways:  
with the table stand  
on the wall with the use of a wall hanging screw (not included)

the hanging hole on the backside.
