• The wind station will automatically search at UTC 7:00, 8:00, 9:00,
10:00, 11:00. If no WWVB reception, the station will search for the
WWVB time signal every 2 hours until the WWVB time is received.
• After reception, this station will only search for the atomic signal
after midnight.
• To perform a manual search for the atomic time signal, rst make
sure the Atomic feature is set to ON within the settings menu.
• Then press and release the TIME SET button to manually start or
stop a WWVB atomic time signal search.

• For the most accurate wind speed readings, mount the TX141W
sensor as the highest object for 50 feet in all directions.
• Cups should be on the top of the sensor. Mount vertically.
• The maximum wireless transmission range to the wind station is
over 300 feet (91 meters) in open air, not including walls or trees.
1. Insert mounting pole into sensor.
2. Tighten screws
3. Insert bottom of pole into mounting bracket
4. Tighten knob to secure
5. Use screws through the bottom of the
mounting bracket to attach.
6. The sensor can be mounted from
the bottom or side. (the picture is
of the sensor mounted from the side)
Alternatively:
1. Insert your own mounting pole into
the sensor.
2. Tighten screws
3. Mounting bracket would not be used.
Note: Do not attempt to insert a pole into the hollow back of the
mounting bracket.
Position Wind Sensor
• Mount the TX141TH-BCH add-on sensor on a north-facing wall or in
any well shaded area. Under an eave or deck rail is preferred.
• The maximum wireless transmission range to the weather station is
over 300 feet (91 meters) in open air, not including walls or oors.
• Be sure the sensor is mounted vertically
Option 1:
• Install one mounting screw into a wall leaving some extended.
• Place the transmitter onto the screw.
• Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into place.
Option 2:
• Insert the mounting screw through the front of the transmitter and
into the wall.
• Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
Position Add-on Sensors

Position Weather Station
• Pull out the stand and place on a at surface.
• Or use the three hanging holes on the back to mount on the wall,
near an outlet for constant backlight.
1. Choose a location 6 feet or more away from electronics such as
cordless phones, gaming systems, televisions, microwaves,
routers, etc.
2. Place within range of the outdoor sensors (300 ft, 91m open air).
3. Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal
objects can reduce the range.
4. For best WWVB reception, orientate the weather station with the
front or back of the station facing Ft. Collins, Colorado.
Care and Maintenance
• Do not mix old and new batteries
