Once the sensor is connected, you can choose to connect to the La Crosse View™ app or
continue to use as a standalone station. You can always connect later if you choose.
MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSORS?
868-LTV-WSDTH01:
•
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. If your sensor is too close you will
measure the air turbulence and not actual wind speed.
•
Place away from trees. Wind passing through trees moves slower than wind in open areas.
•
Mount your sensor in a vertical position with the wind cups on top.
•
Maximum transmission distance from your multi-sensor to your station, in open air is 400 feet
(121.92meters).
•
Use the included mounting bracket or your own mounting pole (no more than 1 inch outer
diameter to fit). Secure to the sensor with screws provided. Tighten the screws to snug (do
not over tighten).
•
Solar panel must face South to charge the battery and provide correct Wind Direction.
•
General Wind Sensor mounting video:
Your station is designed for flexible placement on a desk or countertop, or to position on the
wall. When the stand is closed, it provides wall mounting holes.
•
Position within reach of an outlet that is always active. Some outlets in living rooms and in
bedrooms may only be active when the light switch is on.
•
This station must operate with the 5 volt power cord in order to receive sensor updates
and/or to update Wi-Fi data when connected. Operation on battery power will only maintain
time/date settings if you need to move your station.
•
Best reception occurs when only one wall is between your station and each sensor outside.
•
Position you station six feet from other electronics and wireless devices. If you suspect RF
(radio frequency) interference, simply move your weather station a few feet.
WHAT IS DISTANCE | RESISTANCE | INTERFERENCE?
Distance:
•
The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 400 feet (121.92 meters) between each
sensor and your station.
•
Consider the signal path from your station to each sensor as a straight line.
•
Consider the distance the station is from other electronics in the home.
Resistance:
•
Each obstacle: walls, windows, vegetation, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects will
reduce the effective signal range by about one-half.
•
Mounting your sensors on a metal fence can significantly reduce the effective signal range.
