BATTERIES: WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BATTERIES?
•
Your Station comes with a CR2032 battery installed to preserve Time and History Records in
the event of a power failure. The 5 Volt Power Cord is required to operate this station.
•
Your LTV-WSDTH03 OR LTV-WSDTH04 Wind/TH sensor requires 3 “AA” batteries. This
along with the solar panel extends sensor life up to 3 years.
HARDWARE: SENSORS AND STATION
Your V50-C78861 station comes with:
LTV-WSDTH03 OR LTV-WSDTH04 Sensor with Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Temperature
and Humidity
WHAT ARE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS STATION?
LTV-WSDTH03 OR LTV-WSDTH04: 3 “AA” batteries
V50-C78861: 5 volt power cord (required) and CR2032 batteries for backup of your time and
date. Battery operation only will not update sensor or Wi-Fi data. Power cord is required.
SETUP AND MOUNTING
SETUP: HOW DO I SETUP MY STATION?
Your station is a fully functional standalone station.
1.
Remove the Isolation Tab from the LTV-WSDTH03 OR LTV-WSDTH04 sensor and turn the
switch to ON.
2.
Install 5 volt power cord into outlet, and into the station. Remove the insulation tab from the
CR2032 battery in your station.
3.
Let sensor and station sit within 10 feet of each other for several minutes to lock the sensor
signal to the display.
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.
MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSORS?
LTV-WSDTH03 OR LTV-WSDTH04:
•
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).
