2. Install power cord into wall outlet, and into the station. Install batteries in the station if
you wish.
3. Let sensors and station sit within 10 feet of each other for several minutes to lock the
sensor signals to the display.
Once the sensors are connected, you can choose to connect to the La Crosse View™ app or
continue to use as a standalone station. You can always connect later if you choose. Click

MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSORS?

All your sensors read independently to your station. This provides freedom to position each
sensor in the best location available.
LTV-W1 or LTV-W2:
• Place your wind sensor two times higher than any large object within 50 feet. Wind does
not pass through hard objects; it is distorted by them. If your sensor is too close you will
measure the air turbulence and not actual wind speed.
• Place away from trees. Wind passing through trees moves slower than wind in open
areas.
• Mount your sensor in a vertical position with the wind cups on top.
• The maximum transmission distance from your multi-sensor to your station, in open air, is
400 feet (121.92meters).
• Use the included mounting bracket or your own mounting pole (no more than 1 inch
outer diameter to fit). Secure the sensor with screws provided. Tighten the screws to
snug (do not over tighten).
LTV-TH1:
• Place your thermo-hygro sensor at least 6 feet off the ground.
• For accurate temperature readings your sensor needs to be shaded from the sun in a well
vented area.
• Mount your sensor vertically to allow moisture to drain out the bottom.
• The preferred location is on a north facing wall under an eave or deck rail.
• Avoid placing it near a metal roof that will cause it to read high on sunny days.
• Avoid other sources of heat such as soffit vents, and window or door frames.
• For accurate humidity readings, avoid placement near vegetation and lakes or other
bodies of water when possible.
• Place your sensor in a well-vented area. Trapped moisture will cause inaccurate readings.
• Maximum transmission distance from your thermos-hygro sensor to your station, in open
air, is 400 feet (121.92meters).
Insert the mounting screw through the front of the transmitter and into the wall. Tighten
the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
