fig.18

For Accurate Measurements

  • Mount the Rain Sensor horizontally and ensure it’s level.
  • The sensor should be mounted more than 3 feet (91.4 cm) above ground.
  • Your Rain Sensor needs to be in an open area for accurate readings.
  • Ensure the base of your Rain Sensor is not in a depression.
  • This sensor has drainage holes in its base that allow it to self-empty.
  • For more info, watch our sensor mounting video here: bit.ly/mounting_rain

Rain Sensor Cleaning & Storage

La-Crosse-Technology-V61-Wi-Fi-Professional- Weather-Station-
fig.19

Cleaning Your Rain Sensor

  • Leaves, grass, or other debris may need to be removed periodically from the funnel of your Rain Sensor.
  • Be sure to check inside your Rain Sensor as well. Insects or dirt can begin to restrict the movement of the Rocker.
  • Unlatch the Locking Tabs on the side of the Rain Sensor to remove the Funnel.
    This will allow you to easily clean each part separately.

Winter Storage Options

  • Remove batteries and store them in a safe place.
  • Remove batteries and cover in place.
  • Leave outside, uncovered. While the Rain Sensor cannot accurately record snowfall, when the snow melts the water will be  counted as rain.
  • The Rain Sensor is self-emptying, so water should not freeze inside.
  • This Rain Sensor is designed for outdoor use and will withstand temperatures below freezing.

WIND Positioning the Breeze Pro Sensor

For Accurate Measurements

  • Ensure the sensor is mounted level with the Solar Panel facing directly to the south. This will help optimize battery life and transmit correct wind direction readings.
  • Ideally, the Breeze Pro Sensor should be mounted on the tallest object in your area. Avoid positioning the sensor in line or below eaves, rooflines, trees, or other objects that may obstruct wind readings.
  • Make sure all screws on the Mounting Bracket, Winds Cups, Wind Vane, and Battery Compartment are securely fastened.
  • The sensor should be mounted with the Wind Cups on top.

Included Mounting Accessories

La-Crosse-Technology-V61-Wi-Fi-Professional- Weather-Station-

  • Mast
    The horizontal conduit where the sensor attaches. This piece will connect to either the Adjustable Base or Pole Adapter.

  • Adjustable Base
    The main bracket used for mounting onto flat surfaces or with added U-bolts (not included). The grooves and Hand Screw allow the bracket to secure to angled surfaces while still ensuring the Mast and sensor are level.

  • Hand Screw
    Used to lock down and secure the Mast to the Adjustable Base or Pole Adapter.

  • Alignment Arrows
    Provide exact 90 or 180-degree angles when aligned with the arrow on the Mast.

  • Pole Adapter
    Used in place of the Adjustable Base for mounting on top of cylindrical conduits.
    1-Inch Maximum Pole Diameter

Installation Options

Basic Assembly

Fence posts, poles, decks, and even mailboxes are all common mounting options due to their convenience. Many users prefer these types of locations as the data they provide is accurate from their ground level perspective. However, because wind in these spots is often affected by obstructions, the readings may differ compared to local reporting stations.

For Accurate Measurements

  1. 1A. Mount the Adjustable Base onto a flat surface using the four long screws provided.
  2. 1B. Secure the Pole Adapter to a cylindrical conduit using the two smaller screws provided.
  3. Insert the Mast into the Breeze Pro Sensor and tighten the provided screws on the sides.
  4. Use the Hand Screw to attach the Mast to either the Adjustable Base or Pole Adapter. Ensure the sensor is level, facing south, and securely fastened at all mounting points.

Advanced Installation Options

Some advanced installation options include tripods, wall mounts, eave cross mounts, chimney mounts, and many others. Any of these can be combined with U-bolts for attachment onto a tall cylindrical conduit using our Adjustable Base. Please note that these advanced options will require additional equipment and possibly professional help for best results.
