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 Projection alarm.

However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during

daylight hours. The Projection alarm will search for a signal every night when reception

is best.

The WWVB radio station receives the time data 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 detail, visit http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq.htm.

To listen to the NIST time, call (303)499-7111. This number will connect you to an

automated time, announced at the top of the minute in “Coordinated Universal Time”,

which is also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This time does not follow

Daylight Saving Time changes. After the top of the minute, a tone will sound for every

second. It is possible that your Projection Alarm may not be exactly on the second due to

the variance in the quartz. However, the clock will adjust the quartz timing over the

course of several days to be very accurate; under 0.10 seconds per day.

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE

1) Insert two AAA batteries into the remote transmitter.

2) Insert two AA batteries into the Projection alarm and/or plug into wall

3) Wait 10 minutes for WWVB reception and remote temperature.

4) If there is no WWVB reception, manually set the time and date (instructions

in the Program Mode).

5) Program the settings.

6) Mount the WT-5721 in a suitable location, where WWVB and transmitter

signals can be received.

7) Mount the transmitter where remote temperature measurement is desired

(on the North side of a house for example).

8) The projector will activate and remain on if the alarm clock is plugged in. If

only batteries are used, the projector will only be activated when a button is

pressed.

9) See the “Features” section III. for instructions on projection direction, etc.

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE

BATTERY INSTALLATION

A. REMOTE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER

1. Remove the battery cover. Observing the correct

polarity, install 2 AAA batteries. The batteries will

fit tightly (to avoid start-up problems make sure

that they do not spring free during installation).

attery

Cove

2. Replace the battery cover.

B. PROJECTION ALARM

1. Remove the battery cover.

2. Observe the correct polarity, and install 2 AA batteries.

3. In addition or instead of

inserting batteries, the AC

adapter can be used. Simply

plug the adapter into the

receptacle on the underneath of

the alarm clock and then plug

in adapter.

4. Replace the battery cover.

5. The projector will activate and remain on if the alarm clock is plugged in. If

only batteries are used, the projector will only be activated when a button is

pressed. The projection is a red light, not harmful under normal usage,

although care should be taken to not look directly into the light.

Note: After the batteries have been installed a tone will sound, and the LCD

(Liquid Crystal Display) will activate. The indoor temperature and the

remote temperature will be displayed (within three minutes). Also, the time

will appear as “-:--”. The WWVB search is automatically initiated, and a

tower icon appears and flashes with the time colon (no tower icon will

appear if the WWVB is too weak to be detected, and the time display will

remain on “-:--”). While the WWVB search is being conducted various

numbers will appear in the time display. After 10 minutes, the Projection

Alarm will either display the WWVB time, or discontinue the search if the

time is not found. If the search is cancelled “-:--” will remain in the time

LCD. The Projection Alarm will conduct a WWVB search every hour until

the first signal is found. Once the WWVB time is found, a search is

automatically conducted nightly at midnight. If the signal is found at

midnight, the tower icon will remain, if not, another search will take place

every hour (until 6:00 am) until the signal is found successfully. If no signal

is found during this period, the tower icon will not appear and the clock will

search again at 12:00 am the next night.

III. PROGRAM MODE

To enter the Program Mode hold down the “SET” button for 1 second, until the time

zone (“-5” default) flashes in the lower left. The Program Mode Guide is laid out in

a manner that allows you to program each function separately, or you can follow the

instructions entirely to program the Projection 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. Press the “SNOOZE” button at any time to

exit the Program Mode, or wait approximately 15 seconds for the Projection Alarm

to automatically return to normal operation.

time.

1. Hold down the “SET” button for 1 second (the selected time zone will

flash), press the “SET” button 3 more times, until the hour flashes in the

time LCD.

2. Press the “+” button to select the hour. Note: when setting the hour, “PM”

will appear to the left of the hour display, if it is AM nothing will be

B. RADIO-CONTROLLED TIME AND DATE

1. The projection alarm will automatically search for the time signal upon

initial set-up and every night.

2. When the signal is being received, there will be a “tower” icon flashing to

the left of the time display.

3. When the time signal has been received successfully, the tower icon will

remain steady until midnight.

4. 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 Projection alarm.

the NIST time, call (303) 499-7111. This number will connect you to an

automated time, announced at the top of the minute in “Coordinated

due to the variance in the quartz. However, the clock will adjust the quartz

timing over the course of several days to be very accurate; under 0.10

seconds per day.

C. PROJECTION OF TIME AND/OR REMOTE TEMPERATURE

1. When plugged into an AC outlet, the projection alarm can continuously

project the time and/or remote temperature.

2. When operating on batteries alone, the Projection Alarm will only project

when a button is pressed.

3. The projection will auto-focus for display from three to six feet away. A

dark surrounding will be necessary to clearly see the projection.

4. The default is projecting time (Hour and Minutes). The Projection Alarm

can be se to project the time (M0), remote temperature (M1), or alternating

between time and remote temperature (M2) by pressing the “DISPL”

button. The selected display mode will flash on the lower left as “M0”,

“M1” or “M2”.

5. The direction of the display can also be rotated 360°in 90°increments by

pressing the directional button. There is no display on the LCD that

signifies the direction.

6. The projector case can be rotated 180°to further help orient the projected

display.

7. The intensity of the projection can be adjusted to three different settings as

well as turned “off” by pressing the light Intensity button. When turned off,

the projection will only come on when a button is pressed. The intensity

cannot be set for the projected display when set to “off”. When only

batteries are used, the intensity setting is set to “off” with no other options.

D. EL BACKLIGHT

1. The Projection Alarm has an EL backlight designed for night-viewing. This

will light up for 2 seconds whenever a button is pressed.

2. The EL backlight cannot be turned on constantly; this would drain the

batteries and burn out the EL.

Display DirectionDisplay ModeLight intensity



E. INDOOR TEMPERATURE

1. The Projection Alarm measures indoor temperature with an internal sensor.

2. This temperature is displayed in °F or °C, depending on the time format (12

or 24 hour mode). When in 12-hour format, the temperature will be in °F.

When in 24-hour mode, the temperature will be in °C.

3. The indoor temperature will take time to adjust to the surrounding

temperature as the sensor is inside the case.
