  • Page 5: Mounting: Where Do I Mount/Position My Sensors

    MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSORS? All of your sensors read independently to your station. This provides freedom to position each sensor in the best location available. LTV-W1: • 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.

  • Page 6: Where To I Place My Station

    • Place your sensor in a well-vented area. Trapped moisture will cause inaccurate readings. • Maximum transmission distance from your Thermo-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).

  • Page 7: Weather Station Readings

    Purchase Extra Sensors: For additional sensors to read to your station or to the app visit the PARTS TAB at: http://bit.ly/V30 Note: Not all sensors will read to the station. Be sure to check the chart to see if a sensor can read to the app only, or both station and app.

  • Page 16: Connected Forecast Features

    CONNECTED FORECAST FEATURES ADVANCED FORECAST ICONS & CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION Connected Station: When your station is connected to the La Crosse View™ app you will see an additional 8 forecast icons from AccuWeather. Your forecast will update multiple times per day. The forecast icons predict weather condition for the next 12 hours.

  • Page 17: Accuweather Hi/Lo Temperatures

    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. The word TODAY will show as well as the Internet Indicator. Note: When operating as a standalone station this section will display your Outdoor Temperature Records registered daily by your Thermo-Hygro Sensor.

  • Page 18: Bar Code: What Are The Barcodes And Id Numbers On My Sensors On My Station

    • If you have a low battery icon on your station, you need to replace the batteries in the sensor or in the station as indicated. • Simply install fresh batteries into your sensor then press and release the SENSOR button until you see your sensor ID.

    2. When your station resets it will look for all sensors. Allow at least ten minutes to reacquire the sensors. Note: If operating connected, you will need to reconnect to Wi-Fi from the app. DASHES TEMP/HUMIDITY: WHY DOES MY THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR SHOW DASHES ON THE STATION? Dashes indicate the connection is lost between your station and the outdoor sensor.

  • Page 20: What Does A Reading Of "Hi" Or "Lo" Mean

    WHAT DOES A READING OF “HI” OR “LO” MEAN? • If your outdoor temperature reading shows “HI” or “LO”, check that your batteries are good. • Overpower or underpowered batteries can cause this reading. • If batteries are good, replace the outdoor sensor. •...

  • Page 21: Why Are My Wind Cups Not Spinning

    • On your station enter the program menu to select Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature display on the station. WHY ARE MY WIND CUPS NOT SPINNING? • Check for debris or ice preventing cups from moving. • Check mounting location. Look for obstructions that prevent the wind from reaching the sensor.

  • Page 22: Wind Intermittant: Why Do My Wind Readings Come And Go

    • If you regain connection while the sensor is mounted, great. If you do not regain connection, bring the sensor within 10 feet of the station and search again. WIND INTERMITTANT: WHY DO MY WIND READINGS COME AND GO? • RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally.

  • Page 23: Rain Intermittant: Why Do My Rain Readings Come And Go

    • Next, check your distance, resistance and interference. If everything was working previously at the same location, this is likely not the issue. However sometimes there is new growth on trees or bushes that cause another barrier. Radio Frequency (RF) signal does not travel well through foliage due to the moisture content.

  • Page 24: Rain High: Why Is My Rainfall Reading High

    Complete a Tip Test: Write down the Total Rain reading or reset the Rain Total to 0.00. With rain sensor mounted slowly pour water into the funnel to tip the rocker of the rain sensor 10 times. Wait at least 2 minutes for all the rain to collect.
