Low Battery Indicator - La Crosse Technology WS-1510-IT Instruction Manual

Total rainfall
icon
To reset the rainfall reading, press the + key once when the Rainfall
value and "Reset" icon is shown. Then the total rainfall amount will be
reset to 0, and the time updated to current time.
Note:
After power up, the time and date and total rainfall are displayed as "- - -
". After time is adjusted manually, the set time will be shown.
SWITCHING ON/OFF THE BUZZER
User may choose to turn off the buzzer so that when the time alarm is
switched on and activated, the buzzer will not sound but we can still see
the alarm icon ((( ))) flashing on the LCD for time alarm.
On the other hand, when the buzzer is turned off and any weather
alarm is activated, the particular weather digits will flash to show user
that the weather condition is being out of the preset threshold value, yet
the buzzer will not sound.
To switch off the buzzer:
1. In normal display mode, press and hold the SET key until the icon
"BUZZER OFF" is shown at the right side above the Wind
direction scale. The LCD will change to setting mode.

3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers
operating on the same signal frequency (915 MHz) may prevent
correct signal transmission and reception.
4. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915 MHz
signal frequency can also cause interference.
"Visibility" of weather center and transmitters increases the range.
5.
Note:
When the 915 MHz signal is received, do not re-open the battery
compartment cover of either the transmitter/ rain sensor or Weather
Center, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a
false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see
Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur.
During normal operation, after the outdoor display shows "- - -", the
weather center will change to receive the outdoor data every 15
minutes, until the data is read. Then the reception period for thermo-
hygro transmitter will return to 4.5 seconds (6.25 seconds for rain
sensor).
If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all
system units have to be reset (see Setting up).
POSITIONING:
Prior to permanently affixing any of the units, please ensure the
following points are considered:
Cable lengths of the units meet with your distance requirements at
•
the point of fixing
• Signals from the sensors can be received by the base station at
points of mounting
La Crosse Technology Sensor Extension Cable
When you require additional length to properly mount your sensor, you
can use La Crosse Technology extension cable. The extension cable is
32 feet in length and comes with the appropriate connecter attached.
Please visit your local retailer or www.greatbigoutlet.com to purchase.
Phone cables and connections have much more resistance than our
extension cable and are not recommended for use. Using phone
cable/connection may damage your sensors.
Note: Using extension cables will shorten battery life.
Warning: Never cut, splice, shorten or modify your sensor cables or
extension cables. Doing so may damage your sensors and will void
your warranty.

2. Press ALARM key once to return to the normal display mode. The
"BUZZER OFF" icon will still be shown.
To re-enable the buzzer:
1. When the BUZZER OFF icon is shown on LCD, press and hold
the SET key until the BUZZER OFF icon disappears.
2. Press ALARM key once to return to the normal display mode. The
"BUZZER OFF" icon will no longer be shown. Then the alarm will
sound normally.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR

The low battery indicator of the weather station and the transmitter will
be displayed at the top and bottom portion of the LCD respectively
when the battery power is low. It is recommended to replace the
batteries in all units on an annual basis to ensure optimum accuracy of
the system.
Note:
• After battery change, both the Weather Station and the
transmitters need to be reset (see note "Setting up")
The History data record will be clear after the battery change.

OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER 915 MHz RECEPTION CHECK
The outdoor temperature, humidity, wind data are transmitted from
thermo-hygro transmitter every 4.5 seconds; the rainfall data are
transmitted from the rain sensor every 6.25 seconds. The receiver will
be synchronized to the thermo-hygro transmitter and rain sensor then.
The transmission range (supposedly up to about 330 feet /100 meters)
of the thermo-hygro transmitter/ rain sensor may be affected by the
ambient temperature. At cold temperatures, the transmitting distance
may be decreased. Please keep this in mind when placing the
transmitter and the rain sensor.
If (1) the outdoor data are not being received within first several minutes
after setting up; (2) the outdoor display always show "- - -" on the
outdoor display; or (3) the reception icon of thermo-hygro transmitter
(Mode 1) and rain sensor (Mode 2) is not displayed on the display, user
shall check the following points:
1. The distance of the Weather Center or transmitter/ rain sensor
should be at least 5 to 6.5 feet (1.5 to 2 meters) away from any
interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2. Avoid positioning the Weather Center onto or in the immediate
proximity of metal doors or window frames.

The Weather Center
The Weather Center has been designed to be hung onto wall or free
standing.
To wall mount
Choose a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and
sunshine.
Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor
values can be received from the desired locations.
To wall mount:
1. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall,
leaving the head extended out the by about
5mm.
2. Hang the station onto the screw. Remember to
ensure that it locks into place before releasing.

Main nit
An ideal mounting place for the thermo-hygro sensor would be the outer
wall beneath the extension of a roof, as this will protect the sensor from Wall Bracket
direct sunlight and other extreme weather conditions.
To wall mount, use the 2 screws to affix the wall bracket to the desired
wall, plug in the thermo-hygro sensor to the bracket and secure both
parts by the use of the supplied screw and ensure that the cables from
the wind and rain sensors are correctly plugged in otherwise data
transmission errors could occur.
