SETUP: HOW DO I SETUP MY 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

for instructions for connecting your station to the La Crosse View™ app. 

 

MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSORS? 

 

All of your sensors read independently to your station. This provides freedom to position each 

sensor in the best location available. 

 

LTV-W1: 

 

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). 

 

LTV-R2: 

 

Mount your rain sensor in an open area for a more accurate rain count.  

 

Placing the rain sensor on the ground provides the most accurate rainfall measurement as 

there is no wind shear. Unfortunately, since insects think of rain gauges as personal hotels, 

placing the sensor 3-6 feet above ground may deter the insects. 

 

Be sure your rain sensor is not sitting in a depression that would prevent rain from draining 

form the sensor properly. 

 

Your rain sensor should be accessible to allow for periodic cleaning of leaves or other 

debris that may clog the funnel. 

 

Install the Rain sensor on a level platform that is stationary and has a direct line of sight to 

your station. 

 

Insert three mounting screws through the holes in the base of the rain sensor. Do not over 

tighten. 

 

Avoid other wireless rain sensors, as this can cause inaccuracy.
