• Hourly Temperature • Hourly Wind Direction Internet Indicator will show in the Forecast and HI/LO areas, and next to Wind Direction. WAIT FOR WEATHER will show if the station is currently updating. Wait a few minutes and try again. ACCUWEATHER HI/LO TEMPERATURES Daily AccuWeather HI/LO Temperature predictions will display below the Forecast Icons. -
Page 18: How Do I Delete Sensor Id Numbers
Thermo-Hygro sensor ID, your Wind Speed sensor ID and your Rain sensor ID. Note: If you have Extra Sensors connected to you station you will also see these ID’s. • The sensor ID on the station should match your first six numbers on the barcode of that sensor. -
Page 19: Temp Accuracy: Why Does My Thermo-Hygro Sensor Read Inaccurately
TEMP ACCURACY: WHY DOES MY THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR READ INACCURATELY? • The thermo-hygro sensor reads the environment. Since your Temperature/Humidity readings come from the Wind/TH sensor they may occasionally be inaccurate if the sunlight hits the sensor. • If this is a common occurrence you can purchase an LTV-TH2 sensor and replace the Temperature/Humidity Reading from the Wind/TH sensor. -
Page 20: How Do I Change Between Fahrenheit And Celsius
• RF (radio frequency) communication is not always 100% on. Certain temporary conditions can cause it to go out for a time (e.g. 100% humidity). If a miss happens: • If sensor loses connection to the station for any reason, the station will show dashes after 30 minutes. -

Note: The screw in the wind cups will fit on the flat side of the metal stem on the sensor. WIND READING 0.00: WHY DO I ONLY SEE 0.00 FOR WIND SPEED? The 0.00 means your wind sensor is connected to your station. •... - Page 22 • RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally. This can be normal in some environments (e.g. moister climates). • If a sensor goes out, please wait 2-4 hours for it to reconnect on its own. Please be patient –...
- Page 23 • The App updates data every 60-90 seconds. • Since Wind Speed changes frequently, this is the common difference you may notice between your station and your app. 23 | P a g e...
