BATTERIES: WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BATTERIES?

• Your Station comes with a CR2032 battery installed to preserve Time and History Records in the event of a
power failure. The 5 Volt Power Cord is required to operate this station.
• Your 868-LTV-WSDTH03 Wind/TH sensor requires 3 "AA" batteries. This along with the solar panel extends
sensor life up to 3 years.
Your V50EU-V50UK station comes with:
868-LTV-WSDTH03 Sensor with Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Temperature and Humidity

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
operation only will not update sensor or Wi-Fi data. Power cord is required.
Your station is a fully functional standalone station.
1. Remove the Isolation Tab from the 868-LTV-WSDTH03 sensor and turn the switch to ON.
2. Install 5 volt power cord into outlet, and into the station. Remove the insulation tab from the CR2032 battery in
your station.
3. Let sensor and station sit within 10 feet of each other for several minutes to lock the sensor signal to the
display.
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-WSDTH03:
• 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 provide correct Wind Direction.
