SETUP: HOW DO I SETUP MY WEATHER STATION?
Your station is a fully functional standalone station.
1. Install batteries into each sensor (any order).
2. Install power cord into wall outlet, and into the station. Install batteries into the station if you
wish.
3. Let sensors and station sit within 10 feet of each other for several minutes to lock the sensor
signals to the display.
Once the sensors are 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 SENSORS?
Both of your sensors read independently to your weather station. This provides freedom to
position each sensor in the best location available.
LTV-WR1:
The solar panel is designed to extend the life of your batteries. The multi-sensor is designed to
operate on battery power. The solar panel alone will not operate the sensor 24/7.
• Batteries are required to operate the sensor at night or days without sufficient sunlight.
• For correct wind direction, the solar panel should face south. The letters S, E, W and N are
embossed on the top of the sensor to assist in proper positioning.
• Place your multi-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.
• Since this is also a rainfall sensor, you will need to use the bubble level on top of your multi-
sensor to ensure it is level.
• Rain sensors occasionally need to have leaves and other debris removed for accurate rain
readings.
• Maximum transmission distance from your multi-sensor to your weather station, in open air is
400 feet (121.92meters).
• Use the included mounting bracket or your own mounting pole (no more than one inch
outside diameter). Secure to the sensor with screws provided. Tighten the screws to snug
(do not over tighten).
LTV-TH3:
• 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 in 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.
