Benefits of Connecting to La Crosse View™

MOUNT YOUR SENSORS

THERMO-HYGRO
Keep out of direct sunlight & ensure the sensor is well ventilated. We recommend mounting under a deck or eave facing north.
WIND
Ensure the sensor is mounted vertically, an unobstructed rooftop is ideal. Your Wind Sensor should be the tallest object in the area to avoid reduced wind speed values.
RAIN
Mount in an open area 3-6 feet off the ground on a level platform. Check the sensor often to remove leaves or other debris that could cause low rainfall readings.

BUTTONS & FUNCTIONS

ACCUWEATHER FORECASTS

Other benefits of connecting your station to the La Crosse View™ app include Daily and Hourly Forecasts from AccuWeather. These will display changes in your station’s Weather Icons, HI/LO Temps, Wind Direction, and Chance of Precipitation values.
DAILY FORECAST
Press the DAILY button to view predictions for each of the next 7 days of weather data.
HOURLY FORECAST
Press the HOURLY button to view predictions for each of the next 12 hours of forecast data.
Note:
These buttons will not provide a function if your station is not connected to the La Crosse View app.

SENSOR PLACEMENT AND MOUNTING

• 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 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.

ADD-ON SENSORS
Whether you choose to connect to the La Crosse View app or not, this station can display data for up to 4 extra sensors. This data will appear in the light green section on the LCD and in your La Crosse View app if connected.
Adding Sensors to Your Station

1. Hold the EXTRA SENSOR button until the Sensor Reception Indicator starts to animate.
2. Install batteries into your sensor. If the sensor has a TX button, press it to force a transmission signal. This button is usually located in or near the sensor’s battery compartment. The LED light on the sensor will flash once.
3. Your sensor should connect within the next 3 minutes, briefly displaying its ID and type on the LCD. The Sensor Reception Indicator will show solid on the screen when a sensor is connected

Note:
When first powering up, or after a factory reset, extra sensors should automatically connect to your station.

• Water Leak Sensor Example

If you have multiple add-on sensors connected, press the EXTRA SENSOR button to cycle through the data you’d like displayed on the LCD. The relative pressure data shares space with the extra sensors(s).
