Page 4: Batteries: What Do I Need To Know About Batteries
WHAT ARE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS STATION? 868-LTV-WSDTH03: 3 “AA” batteries V50EU-V50UK: 5 volt power cord (required) and CR2032 batteries for backup of your time and date. Battery operation only will not update sensor or Wi-Fi data. Power cord is required. -
Page 5: Where To I Place My Station
WHERE TO I PLACE MY STATION? 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. -
Page 6: How Do I Add Extra Sensors To My Station
If you do not have or want additional sensors, this area will show you the Barometric Pressure from your weather station’s internal Pressure Sensor. Optional Extra Sensors: Up to 4 additional Thermo-Hygro, Wind Speed, Water Leak, Pool, BBQ, or any combination of these sensors can read to the EXTRA SENSOR area of your display. -
Page 7: Help Me Understand The Wind History Readings
• Compass Rose: o The Compass Rose displays the cardinal directions with visual indicators. o The large diamond on the rose indicates the wind direction. o The smaller triangles should be display next to the big triangle to create more emphasis to the direction and let the user know that the direction variates constantly. -
Page 8: How Do I Reset The Wind History Readings
HOW DO I RESET THE WIND HISTORY READINGS? Your wind speed history readings are reset individually. 1. Press and release the WIND button to view the history reading you wish to reset. 2. Hold the MINUS (-) button for 5 seconds to reset that value to current wind speed. 3. -
Page 9: How Often Does My Temp/Humidty Sensor Update
HOW OFTEN DOES MY TEMP/HUMIDTY SENSOR UPDATE? • Your Wind/TH Sensor checks for any change every 31 seconds. • Any change of +/- 0.5°C, or Hum +/- 2% RH will cause the sensor to send a reading. • If there is no change in temperature or humidity, the sensor will transmit every 3 minutes to preserve battery life. -
Page 10: Weather Station Messages
• Month • Date • Fahrenheit/Celsius • Pressure: InHg / hPa • Pressure number setting • Wind Speed MPH or KMH • Wind Direction Letters or Degrees • THANK YOU Note: Units in the settings menu reflect how sensors will show on the station and which units are shown in Data Stream. -

7. Press the LIGHT button to confirm exit. Note: Hold LIGHT button at any time to exit dimmer settings. CAN I OPERATE MY STATION ON BATTERY POWER ONLY? • No, the 5 volt power cord is required for your sensors to update. •... -
Page 13: Connected Forecast Features
• Your station calibrates barometric pressure based on its location over time to generate an accurate, personal forecast. Please allow 7-10 days for barometer calibration. Note: As the Station builds memory, it will compare the current average pressure to the past forty day average pressure for increased accuracy. -
Page 14: Accuweather Hi/Lo Temperatures
• Hourly Chance of Precipitation • 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 15: How Do I Delete Sensor Id Numbers
• These sensors will remain locked to your station until you manually delete them. • The barcodes are also important identifiers for the La Crosse View™ app if you choose to connect. HOW DO I DELETE SENSOR ID NUMBERS? In the rare event you need to replace your sensor, you will first need to delete the old sensor ID from your station. 1. -
Page 16: What Does A Reading Of "Hi" Or "Lo" Mean
1. Press SENSOR button once Station ID will show. 2. Press SENSOR button again ID WTH123 THW SENSOR will show. 3. Hold the MINUS (-) button for 5 seconds while viewing ID to delete ID WTH123. To add a separate LTV-TH2 sensor: •... -
Page 17: Why Are My Wind Cups Not Spinning
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. • In most cases, the wind sensor needs to be 4-6ft above the highest point on the roof to clear nearby obstructions and read accurately. -
Page 18: Wind And Temp Intermittant: Why Do My Readings Come And Go
• My first thought is always to check that my batteries are good. If it has been working and now is not, low batteries are the most common connection problem. • Next, check your distance, resistance, and interference. If everything was working previously at the same location, this is likely not the issue. -
Page 19: Why Are The Sensor Readings On My Station Different From The Sensor Readings In The App
WHY ARE THE SENSOR READINGS ON MY STATION DIFFERENT FROM THE SENSOR READINGS IN THE APP? • The reading on your station is the “real time” reading. Your station updates as soon as it receives a new reading from the sensor. •...
