Setup Preparation Welcome! Here are some items needed to setup your station (not included): 1. Phillips head screwdriver for assembly. 2. Fresh Batteries: 5 (five) AA alkaline or lithium batteries for the sensors. 3 (three) AAA alkaline batteries for the station (optional). For best results: • Remove weather station and sensors from the package and place together on a table or bench, within easy reach. • Place batteries and screwdriver within reach of setup location.
Initial Setup and Assembly Bubble Level for Mounting TX231RW Multi-Sensor Rain Gauge Wind Cups Solar Panel Pole Direction Vane Mounting Bracket 1. Install 3 AA batteries into the bottom of the Multi-sensor. 2. The red LED light on the bottom, will flash every 30 seconds when transmitting. Drain Vents for Rain Red LED AA AA AA 3. Insert pole into bottom of sensor and secure with two screws. Note: Your own mounting pole (1.2 inches, 3.
4. Align the square opening on the bottom or the pole over the square of the mounting bracket. 5. Turn the knob to tighten the bracket to the pole. Turn knob to tight. Do not over tighten TX232TH Sensor 1. Insert 2 AA batteries into the temperature/humidity sensor. 2. The red LED light will flash every 58 seconds when transmitting. 3. The transmission icon will show briefly when transmitting. 4. You can select a different channel on the sensor if you suspect interference.
Weather Station 1. Insert the 5 volt AC adapter into the back of the weather station. 2. Insert 3 AAA batteries into the weather station (optional). 3. Keep both sensors and the weather station together for 15 minutes to lock in the sensor signals. 4. (Optional)-Spin the wind cups to simulate wind speed. Take the Multi-sensor to the sink and slowly drip water into the rain bucket to simulate rain. 5. After 15 minutes, follow the mounting instructions for proper placement of each sensor.
Mounting Instructions TX232TH-LCD Temperature/Humidity Sensor Option 1: • Install one mounting screw into a wall leaving some extended. • Place the transmitter onto the screw, gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into place. Option 2: • Insert the mounting screw through the front of the transmitter and into the wall. • Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten). • Mount the temperature/humidity sensor on a north-facing wall or in any well shaded location. Sun will make it read high.
Mounting continued • The maximum wireless transmission range to the station is over 330 feet (100 meters) in open air, not including walls or trees. • Mount sensor vertically. • Cups should be on the top of the sensor. • Attach to mounting surface with screws through the mounting bracket. • The sensor can be mounted from the bottom or from the side. Alternatively: • Insert your own mounting pole sensor. • Tighten screws • Mounting bracket would not be used. Page | 7 www.lacrossetechnology.
