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-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 Thermo-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).

LTV-WL1:
•
The sensor will work best when simply placed flat on a floor. It will begin to detect water at
0.031 inches (0.787mm).
•
If sensor is placed vertically (Ex: hung inside a sump pump) the depth of the water needs to
be at least 0.25 inches (6.35mm) high to trigger the sensor.
IMPORTANT:
The metal contacts on the sensor should not be in contact with other metal. This
will cause false WET readings and may damage the sensor.
WHERE TO I PLACE MY STATION?
Your station is designed for flexible placement on a desk or countertop, or to position on the
wall. When the stand is closed, it provides wall mounting holes.
