Oregon Scientific BAR636A Wireless Weather Station w/ Atomic Clock The Oregon Scientific BAR636A Wireless Weather Forecaster with Temperature is boldly styled in black with silver trim. In its backlit LCD panel, this compact forecasting station displays indoor temperature plus the temperature from 1 to 3 outdoor or other remote locations. The station also provides highly accurate weather forecasts based on barometric pressure changes. The BAR636A's radio-controlled "atomic" clock has a daily snooze alarm plus calendar and moon phase displays. Click to Enlarge Click to Enlarge Small, sleek, and stylish, the BAR636A weather forecaster provides basic weather information most folks want and need, along with absolutely accurate time and a daily alarm. The weather forecast icons are kinetic. The indoor temperature and the temperature for the selected remote channel are displayed simultaneously. Integral min/max memory lets you display indoor and all remote minimum and maximum temperature values. Along with the time are displayed the month, date, and weekday plus the moon phase. One reason that this forecast station looks so clean and handsome is that most of its control pushbuttons are located on the sides of the case where they curve around to the back. Also, the SNOOZE/LIGHT bar makes up the entire curved top of the station. The BAR636A weather forecast station is only 2.7 inches wide by 5.6 inches high, and its 4-line LCD panel is about 3 inches tall. If your vision is reasonably normal, you'll find the displays on this station easy to read. Hour and minute digits are just under 1/2 inch, and temperature digits are 1/2 inch except for degree tenths and calendar information, which are about 1/4 inch. For night viewing, the LCD panel has a bright blue, pushbutton-activated HiGloTM electro-luminescent backlight with 8-second auto-off. In the top line of the LCD panel is displayed one of four kinetic weather forecast icons: Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy, or Rainy (which means snowy when it's cold outside). The forecast is for 12 to 24 hours in the future. It covers an 18- to 30-mile (30- to 50-km) radius and is 70 to 75 percent accurate. The second line of the LCD panel is where indoor and outdoor (or other remote) temperature are displayed. These temperatures can be in your choice of °F or °C, as selected by a switch in the battery compartment. You press the CHANNEL button to alternately display temperatures for remote channels 1 through 3. The station can also be optioned to auto-scan, in which case data for all remote sensors in use alternates every 3 seconds. The station's memory allows you to display recorded minimum and maximum temperatures for indoors and all remotes in use since the last memory reset. You can do this at a push of the MEMORY button on the right side of the case. The third line of the LCD panel shows the time as hour and minutes in 12-hour format with AM or PM. If the clock has successfully received the WWVB 60 kHz time-synchronization radio signal from the U.S. atomic clock in Colorado, a tower and waves icon appears to the left of the time. In the fourth line of the LCD panel, the month, date, and weekday are shown digitally in that order. The weekday is a two-letter abbreviation in your choice of English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish. Clock seconds can be displayed as an alternative to the weekday. Although you must select your continental U.S. time zone (Pacific, Mountain, Central, or Eastern), the zone is only displayed during setup in the space where the weekday or seconds appear during normal operation. The current moon phase is displayed as one of eight icons just below the calendar information. You can also view the moon phases for past and future dates if you wish. The BAR636A's atomic clock has a single daily crescendo alarm with 2-minute duration and an available 8-minute snooze function. The set alarm time can be viewed as an alternative to the normal time and calendar display. One THN122N wireless remote temperature sensor is included with the BAR636A, and the station can actually monitor up to three temperature sensors at a distance of up to 100 feet (30 meters). The THN122N is a non-displaying sensor. Additional remote sensors can be obtained separately and include the following: THR268. This is a temperature sensor with its own display for local viewing. THC268. This is a temperature sensor with a waterproof probe on a 10-foot (3-meter) cable and its own display. The main unit with is designed for free-standing use only. The remote temperature sensor can be mounted on a wall, or you can install the included wire stand for free-standing use. The main unit uses three AA alkaline batteries, and the remote temperature sensor uses two AAA alkaline batteries. All five batteries are included. If the remote will be used in sub-freezing temperature conditions, lithium AAA batteries are recommended instead of alkaline. Features and Benefits: It's wireless! Easy setup with no cables to string--a remote sensor sends temperature data back to the main unit (base station) via 433MHz radio waves. Know the temperature both indoors and at up to three remote locations--outdoors or in your greenhouse, baby's room, warehouse, wine cellar or other location--from the comfort of your home or office. At a glance, check the current weather forecast, temperature, and moon phase. Four kinetic weather forecast icons indicate Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy, or Rainy (snowy when it's cold). Weather forecast is for 12 to 24 hours in the future, covers an 18- to 30-mile (30- to 50-km) radius, and is 70 to 75 percent accurate. Main unit can show temperatures in either °C or °F. Integral memory stores maximum and minimum temperature readings (indoor and from all remotes) for instant pushbutton display. Moon phase is preprogrammed for years 2001 through 2099 and can be viewed for any date in those years. Calendar must be set properly to see correct moon phase (one of eight icons).  Comes with one THN122N temperature sensor. Add one or two additional sensors (optional; not included) to monitor up to three remote locations, indoors or out. Integral radio-controlled clock with calendar and alarm automatically synchronizes itself to the U.S. atomic clock in Colorado and also automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time. A kinetic RF (radio frequency) tower-and-wave icon indicates that the clock is receiving the synchronizing radio signals for time and date. RF reception can be disabled for manual clock and calendar setting if desired (for example, if station is taken out of range of the time-synchronization signal). Clock displays time in 12-hour format as hour and minutes with AM or PM. Clock seconds are an alternative to weekday. Calendar display shows month and date numerically and shows weekday (if selected) as a two-letter abbreviation. Weekday abbreviation is user-selectable for any of five languages: English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish. Time zone (Pacific, Mountain, Central, or Eastern) is shown as an abbreviation that is only displayed during setup. Daily 2-minute crescendo alarm has an available 8-minute snooze function. Maximum transmission range for remote sensor is 100 feet (30 meters). Both main unit and remote sensor provide low-battery indications. Main unit is handsomely styled and is designed for free-standing use only. Remote temperature sensor can be free-standing (with included wire stand installed) or wall-mounted.

Note:  This product has "atomic" clock functionality. Atomic, or Radio Controlled clocks receive a radio signal to set themselves. Like any radio receiver however, they may not be able to receive the signal if they are in a building with a lot of steel in the structure, near computers or other electrical equipment that may generate interference, or if the weather is unsuitable. The signal they receive does not propagate well during the day. That's the nature of the signal, not the clock. These clocks are designed to catch the signal when they can, generally in the middle of the night, calibrate themselves, and then run quite accurately for days until they can catch another signal. When you first put in the batteries, they will most likely not set themselves until the middle of the night. That's normal. By morning, weather permitting, it should be correct. Under less than ideal conditions, it could take a few days. Daylight savings time changes may not be made the first night if location and weather are not favorable. osbar636 Regular price: $39.95Sale price: $19.95
