Features:
The
PCR426W Honeywell Atomic Projection Alarm Clock display is made up of three
circular "windows".
Time: The
large circular time
window displays the current time in 12 hour format, plus a day of
the week abbreviation in your choice of English, French or Spanish. You may configure the clock to display
seconds instead of day of the week. Below the time is the date in
Month/Date format.
The clock synchronizes
itself to the atomic clock in Ft. Collins Colorado by receiving WWVB radio
transmissions from up to 2000 miles away*. A signal
reception icon is displayed when the WWVB signal has been received. The
clock may be set for Pacific, Mountain, Central or Eastern time zones. Daylight Saving Time
changes are made automatically according to the WWVB transmission, and cannot be disabled.
The clock also has alarm functions,
including a weekday alarm, a
single day alarm, and a cold weather pre-alarm.
- The weekday alarm will sound at your
chosen time every day of the week, Monday through Friday.
- The single day alarm is set to sound
once. It can be used to wake at a different time any day of the
week without disturbing the weekday setting.
- The cold weather (ice warning) pre-alarm feature
allows you to set the alarm to go off early if the outdoor temperature
is below freezing. The pre-alarm feature can be set to trigger
the weekday or single alarm early in increments of 15 minutes, from
15 minutes to 90 minutes.
All three alarms have a 5 minute snooze
function activated by a snooze button on the top of the unit.
Weather forecast:
The weather window displays a weather
forecast icon representing the likely weather conditions for 12 to 24
hours into the future. Accuracy of the prediction is about 70%. One
of six icons will be displayed, Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy, Rainy or
Stormy.
Temperature and Humidity: The
temperature window shows the temperature (in °F
or °C) for indoors and the selected outdoor
(or other remote) channel. Up to three remote locations can be
displayed. One remote sender is supplied, additional TS13C sensors
are available separately. You also see a signal reception icon for
the selected remote sensor.

TS13C temperature sensor with display (maximum transmission range of
100 feet or 30 meters with no interference). This remote can
rest on a horizontal surface, or it can be wall-mounted via a
keyhole slot on the back.

The remote sender uses two AA alkaline
batteries. If below-freezing temperatures are expected, use lithium
batteries in the outdoor remotes instead of alkaline.
Projection: The Honeywell
PCR426W Atomic Projection Alarm Clock has two projectors. The time
projector projects current time and outdoor temperature. The projector can
project on the ceiling, or be rotated forward or back 90 degrees to
project on a wall. The projector has focus control, and a control to
rotate the image a full 360 degrees. Brightness is appropriate for a
darkened room. The weather projector always points at the ceiling, and has
no rotation capability. Brightness is also appropriate for a darkened
room.
For years, Honeywell has been the name to trust for high-quality indoor environmental controls. Now you can have the same
quality in environmental monitoring. For superior environmental
instrumentation, why not go with Honeywell, the name you know you
can trust?

Note:
The Honeywell
PCR426W Atomic Projection Alarm Clock 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. Also, Daylight Saving Time changes may
not be made the first night if location and weather are not favorable. |
