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. Click here
for instructions for connecting your station to the La Crosse View™ app.
MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSOR?
Your sensor reads independently to your station.
LTV-TH2:
• Place your thermo-hygro sensor at least 6 feet off the ground.
• For accurate temperature readings your sensor needs to be shaded from the sun in a well
vented area.
• Mount your sensor vertically to allow moisture to drain out the bottom.
• Preferred location is on a north facing wall under an eave or deck rail.
• Avoid placing near a metal roof that will cause it to read high on sunny days.
• Avoid other sources of heat such as soffit vents, and window or door frames.
• For accurate humidity readings, avoid placement near vegetation and lakes or other bodies
of water when possible.
• Place your sensor in a well-vented area. Trapped moisture will cause inaccurate readings.
• Maximum transmission distance from your thermos-hygro sensor to your station, in open air
is 400 feet (121.92meters).
• Insert the mounting screw through the front of the transmitter and into the wall. Tighten the
screw to snug (do not over tighten).
WHERE TO I PLACE MY STATION?
Your station is designed for flexible placement on a desk or countertop, or to position on the
wall.
• 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 your 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 your
sensor and your station.
• Consider the signal path from your station to your sensor as a straight line.
• Consider the distance the station is from other electronics in the home.
