INVENTORY OF CONTENTS 1. WS-7058U—Wireless Weather Center, with table stand (Figure 1). 2. TX4U—Remote Thermo-Hygro (temperature- humidity) Sensor: includes a mounting bracket/receptor, rain cover, two mounting screws, and adhesive tape (Figure 2). 3. TX5U—Rainfall Sensor: includes a base, rainfall collector, and two mounting screws (Figure 3).
DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE BATTERY INSTALLATION Batteries will fit tightly. To avoid start-up problems, make sure that the batteries do not spring free. A. REMOTE THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR Rain Cover 1. Pull the cylindrical rain cover off the sensor. 2. Remove the battery cover (located on the backside of the sensor, above the mounting post and bracket).
C. WEATHER CENTER 1. Remove the battery cover. To do this, place a solid object in the space provided at the lower- central position of the battery cover (the cover has white writing on it) then push up and pull out on the battery cover.
PROGRAM MODE The Program Mode is laid out in a manner that allows you to program each function separately, or you can follow the instructions entirely to program the Weather Center. Complete programming is usually done for the initial set-up, and will require you to skip step 1 of each programming section (from section III to XI).
6. Press the SET button to confirm, and to advance to the Time Zone setting. TIME ZONE SETTING This is a feature available on the WS-7058U, it is designed for use in Germany. You may ignore this feature. 1. Press the SET button five times to enter this setting mode.
0.01 inHg for every 10 feet in altitude. In higher altitudes (above 6,500 feet), this effect is less noticeable. The WS-7058U will measure absolute pressure reliably up to 7,500 feet. There is no limit for relative air pressure since the user sets it.
displayed, the next setting mode will be to Manually set the Relative Air Pressure. MANUALLY SETTING THE RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE 1. Press the SET button twelve times to enter the Manual Setting of the Relative Air Pressure mode. 2. The air pressure digits in LCD 5 will flash. Press the + button to adjust the Relative Air Pressure to an appropriate one.
WEATHER FORECAST & WEATHER ICONS The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate, and is based solely upon the change of air pressure over time. The WS-7058U averages past air-pressure readings to provide an accurate forecast— creating a necessity to disregard all weather forecasting for 12-24 hours after the unit has been set-up, reset, or moved from one altitude to another (i.e.

A. WEATHER ICONS There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed at various times in LCD 3: Sunny Sunny—indicates that the weather is expected to improve (not that the weather will be sunny). Sun with Clouds—indicates that the weather is expected to be fair (not that the weather will be sunny with clouds).
D. COMFORT LEVEL INDICATOR The comfort level indicator appears in the center portion of LCD 2 (between the Indoor temperature and the Indoor humidity) as either a “happy-face” or as a “sad-face”. The indicator will display a “happy- face” when the temperature is between 68°F and 79°F (20°C and 25.9°C), and the humidity is between 45% and 64%.
pressure (in LCD 5) to evaluate what past air pressures have been. Air pressure trends can be determined by simply glancing at the bar graph. If the bars are rising (higher on the right than the left) then the air pressure has a rising trend, and the weather should improve. If the bars are dropping (lower on the right than the left) then the air pressure has a falling trend, and the weather should worsen.
To toggle through the 3 different quantities: 1. Press the RAIN button, the rain icon will appear. 2. Press the RAIN button again, “1h” appears. 3. Press the RAIN button a third time, no icon will be visible. RESETTING RAINFALL INFORMATION A.
Crosse Technology directly (contact information can be found at the end of this manual). A TX4U will monitor temperature and humidity (it is the same model that comes with the WS-7058U), a TX3U will monitor temperature only, and the TX3UP monitors temperature via a 10 foot probe for use in pools, spas, etc.
Note: When setting up multiple sensors it is important to remove the batteries from all existing units in operation, then to insert batteries first into all the sensors, and in numeric sequence. Second install batteries into the Weather Center. Transmission problems will arise if this is not done correctly and if the total time for set-up exceeds 6 minutes A.

Place all units in their desired location, and wait approximately 15 minutes before permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. The Weather Center should display an outdoor temperature in LCD 6 within 5 minutes of setting up. If the Weather Center loses the signal from the sensor, it will display the last temperature reading for 15 minutes.

Remove the protective strip from the other side of the tape, and situate the mounting bracket. Firmly press the mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. 4. Fit the mounting post into the receptor of the mounting bracket. THE TX5U—RAINFALL SENSOR The Rainfall Sensor can be mounted in two ways: Ensure that the Rainfall Sensor is completely horizontal and stable.

III) THE WS-7058U—WEATHER CENTER The Weather Center can be mounted in 2 ways: A) TABLE STAND 1) Insert the larger, front tab of the table stand into the receptacle underneath the Weather Center (if held upright). 2) Push up on the back of the table stand until the two tabs on the back snap into place.
Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace with new batteries only, and of recommended size. • Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair the units. Contact La Crosse Technology for Repairs. TROUBLESHOOTING Problem: The LCD is faint.
