Wind Speed Is Inaccurate; Understanding Wind Readings; Reset Wind Speed History - La Crosse Technology CA84688 Faqs

 Check that the cups spin freely.
 Check the unit of measure (MPH, KM/H or M/S).
 Check to see if the Wind speed station receives the same repetitive wind speed recording
from the sensor multiple times.
 Confirm the direction is working correctly.
 Check that the cups turn freely.
 Check for obstructions that prevent clear wind flow to the cups.
 Check mounting. In most cases, the wind sensor needs to be 6 feet or more above the highest
point on the roof in order to clear nearby obstructions and read accurately. A 50-foot
clearance in all directions is best.
 It is helpful to send pictures of the sensor mounting, if you need to contact customer support.
 Check that your batteries are fresh in the thermo-hygro sensor and the Wind speed station.
Current Wind Speed:
The current wind speed, which represents the highest speed in the past 30 seconds. This should

• Year: Defined by Calendar Year i.e. January 1 - December 31
Note: After 5 seconds, all readings default back to the 1-hour top wind speed.
Wind Speed Graph:
 The wind speed graph with sections based on current wind speed.
 One segment will flash indicating current wind speed.
Feels Like Temperature:
Wind Speed | Temperature | Humidity combined:
• When outdoor temp is higher than 80˚F, displays heat index
• When outdoor temp is lower than 50˚F, displays wind chill
• When outside of the above ranges will display current outdoor temperature.
• Press the WIND button to view individual wind speed readings.
• Hold the MINUS button for five seconds to reset each individual value.
