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-TH2i TH sensor and L TV-WL1 Water Leak sensor each require 2 “AA” batteries.
HARDWARE: SENSORS AND STATION
- Your CA79103 station comes with:
- LTV-TH2i Temperature and Humidity sensor
- LTV-WL 1 Water Leak sensor
WHAT ARE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS STATION?
- LTV-TH2i: 2 “AA” batteries
- LTV-WL1: 2 “AA” batteries
- CA79103: 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.
- Insert batteries into the LTV-TH2i & LTV-WL1 sensors.
- Install 5 volt power cord into outlet, and into the station. Remove the insulation tab from the CR2032 battery in your station.
- 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-TH2i:
- Use the hole at the top to hang your sensor from the back using a nail. Or, insert one mounting screw through the front of your sensor.
- Mount your sensor on a north-facing wall or in any shaded area. Under an eave or deck rail is preferred to avoid inaccurate readings from the sun.
- The maximum wireless transmission range to the weather station is up to 400 feet (121 meters) in open air, not including walls or floors.
- Be sure your sensor is mounted vertically, to allow moisture to drain out properly.
Note: Watch sensor mounting video: http://bit.ly/TH SensorMountinq
LTV-WL1:
- The sensor will work best when simply placed 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.
Note: The Water Leak sensor will show in the Extra Sensor area.
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.
- 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 each sensor outside.
- The 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 THE DISTANCE I RESISTANCE I INTERFERENCE?
Distance:
- The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 400 feet (121.92 meters) between each sensor and your station.
- Consider the signal path from your station to each sensor as a straight line.
- Consider the distance the station is from other electronics in the home.
Resistance:
- Each obstacle: walls, windows, vegetation, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects will reduce the effective signal range by about one-half.
- Mounting your sensors on a metal fence can significantly reduce the effective signal range.
Interference:
- Consider electronics in the signal path between the sensors and your station.
- Simple relocation of the sensors or the station may correct an interference issue.
- Windows can reflect the radio signal.
- Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
- Stucco held to the wall by a metal mesh will cause interference.
- Transmitting antennas from: ham radios, emergency dispatch centers, airports, military bases, etc. may cause interference.
- Electrical wires, utilities, cables, etc. may create interference if too close.

TROUBLESHOOTING
BAR CODE: WHAT ARE THE BARCODES AND ID NUMBERS ON MY SENSORS ON MY STATION?
-
Did you know that your sensors will “lock” into your station?
-
This ensures that the sensor readings are from your sensor and not a neighbors’.
-
When you press and release your SENSOR button you will see your Station ID, your Thermo-Hygro sensor ID, & your Water Leak sensor ID.
Note: If you have Extra Sensors connected to you station you will also see these ID’s. -
The sensor ID on the station should match your first six numbers on the barcode of that sensor.
-
These sensors will remain locked to your station until you manually delete them.
-
The barcodes are also important identifiers for the La Crosse View'” app if you choose to connect.
HOW DO I DELETE SENSOR ID NUMBERS?
In the rare event you need to replace your sensor, you will first need to
delete the old sensor ID from your station.
- Remove batteries from your old sensor.
- Press and release the SENSOR button to view your sensor ID number.
- While viewing your sensor ID, hold the(-) button for 5 seconds to delete your old sensor ID. Dashes will show for the ID number.
- Your station will automatically begin searching for the new sensor.
- Install batteries in your new sensor and allow up to three minutes for your new sensor readings and ID to appear on your station.
FACTORY RESET
HOW DO I FACTORY RESET MY STATION?
- A factory reset will delete all sensor ID numbers and if connected, remove all Wi-Fi connections.
- Basically, this is a great way to return your station to “out of the box” condition.
- This is more effective than removing all power for clearing out the station.
- All history records will be removed, so write down anything you want to keep.
To factory reset your station:
- Hold the LIGHT and DAILY FORECAST buttons together for 5 seconds.
- When your station resets it will look for all sensors. Allow at least ten minutes to reacquire the sensors.
Note: If operating connected, you will need to reconnect to Wi-Fi from the app.
WHY DOESN’T THE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY READINGS
ON MY STATION MATCH THE WEATHER REPORT?
- Your temperature and humidity readings are from your sensor at your location. Your local reporting station can be miles away so readings will differ.
WHAT DOES A READING OF “HI” OR “LO” MEAN?
- If your outdoor temperature reading shows “HI” or “LO”, check that your batteries are good.
- Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this reading.
- If batteries are good, replace the outdoor sensor.
- If your temperature is fine but your humidity is reading “HI” or “LO” or dashes, your humidity may be below 10% Relative Humidity. Your sensor does not read below 10% humidity.
TEMP INTERMITTENT: WHY DOES MY TEMP/HUMIDITY READING COME AND GO?
- RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally. This can be normal in some environments (e.g. moister climates).
- If a sensor goes out, please wait 2-4 hours for it to reconnect on its own. Please be patient – these stations can reconnect on, after many hours out.
- RF (radio frequency) communication is not always 100% on. Certain temporary conditions can cause it to go out for a time (e.g. 100% humidity).
If a miss happens:
- If the sensor loses connection to the station for any reason, the station will show dashes after 30 minutes.
- The station will search for 5 minutes every hour to reconnect with the sensor.
- Be sure you have good batteries. Manually search for your sensor by holding the TEMP button.
Try this:
- Bring your sensor within 10 feet of your station and make sure it is connected to the station.
- After 15 minutes move the sensor into the next room with a wall between the sensor and the station for 1 hour.
- If there is no loss of signal in that hour, move the sensor just outside.
- Continue moving the sensor back to its original location.
- If you lose connection, look for sources of interference.
HOW DO I CHANGE BETWEEN FAHRENHEIT AND CELSIUS?
- On your sensor, open the battery cover and press the F/C button. This will change the temperature display on the sensor only.
- On your station enter the program menu to select Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature display on the station.
TEMPERATURE INTERMITTENT: WHY DO MY READINGS COME AND GO?
- RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally. This can be normal in some environments (e.g. moister climates).
- If a sensor goes out, please wait 2-4 hours for it to reconnect on its own. Please be patient – these stations can reconnect on, after many hours out.
- RF (radio frequency) communication is not always 100% on. Certain temporary conditions can cause it to go out for a time (e.g. 100% humidity).
- Check that your sensor is receiving full sun on the solar panel.
If a miss happens:
- If your TH sensor loses connection to the station for any reason, the station will show dashes after 30 minutes.
- The station will search for 5 minutes every hour to reconnect with TH sensor.
Try this:
- Bring your sensor within 10 feet of your station and make sure it is connected to the station.
- After 15 minutes move the TH sensor into the next room with a wall between the sensor and the station for 1 hour.
- If there is no loss of signal in that hour, move the TH sensor just outside.
- Continue moving the TH sensor back to its original location.
- If you lose connection, look for sources of interference.
WHY ARE THE SENSOR READINGS ON MY STATION DIFFERENT FROM THE SENSOR READINGS IN THE APP?
- The reading on your station is the “real-time” reading. Your station updates as soon as it receives a new reading from the sensor.
- The App updates data every 60-90 seconds.
