•
The best reception occurs when only one wall is between your station and each sensor
outside.
•
Position your 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 the 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.
Interference:
•
Consider electronics in the signal path between the sensors and your station.
•
Simple relocation of the sensors or the station may correct an interference issue.
•
Windows can reflect the radio signal.
•
Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
•
Stucco held to the wall by a metal mesh will cause interference.
•
Transmitting antennas from ham radios, emergency dispatch centers, airports, military bases,
etc. may cause interference.
•
Electrical wires, utilities, cables, etc. may create interference if too close.
Explanation: The Extra Sensor area is a place to show up to 4 additional, compatible, sensors
on the station itself. These sensors may also be scanned into your La Crosse View App.
So, if you want extra Temperature/Humidity sensors, or add a Rain sensor, you can display them
here.
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, Rain, Water Leak, Pool,
BBQ, or any combination of these sensors can read to the EXTRA SENSOR area of your display.
