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. A power Cord is required to operate this station.
•Your LTV-WSDTH03 Wind/TH sensor requires 3-AA batteries (not included). The solar panel
on the front of the sensor can extend battery life for up to 3 years.
HARDWARE: SENSORS AND STATION
Your C79790V2 station comes with:
LTV-WSDTH03 Sensor with Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Temperature, and Humidity
Transmission at 915MHz RF.
WHAT ARE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS STATION?
LTV-WSDTH03: 3-AA batteries (not included)
C79790V2:5-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. A power cord is required.
POWER INPUT: WILL THIS STATION WORK IN OTHER COUNTRIES??
•Your power cord input is 100-240V and may work in other countries if the proper plug
adapter is used (not included).
Note: There is no guarantee that this power cord will work in other countries.
SETUP AND MOUNTING
SETUP: HOW DO I SET UP MY STATION?
Your station is a fully functional standalone station.
1. Install 3-AA batteries into your LTV-WSDTH03 Breeze Sensor.
2. Install the power cord into a wall outlet, and the station. Remove the insulation tab from the
CR2032 battery in your station.
3. Let the 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 it as a standalone station. You can always connect later if you choose.

5 | Page
MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSORS?
LTV-WSDTH03:
•Place your wind sensor two times higher than any large object within 50 feet. Wind does not
pass through hard objects; they distort it. If your sensor is too close you will measure the air
turbulence and not the 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.
•The maximum transmission distance from your multi-sensor to your station, in the open air, is
400 feet (121.92 meters).
•Use the included mounting bracket or your mounting pole (no more than 1-inch outer
diameter to fit). Secure the sensor with screws provided. Tighten the screws to snug (do not
over-tighten).
•Solar panel must face South to provide correct Wind Direction.

Ba s ic Ins ta lla tion Op tio ns
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.
U-bolt Adapters
Tripod Setup
Chimney Mount
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.

•The best reception occurs when only one wall is between your station and each sensor
outside.
•Position your 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 DISTANCE | RESISTANCE | INTERFERENCE?
Distance:
•The maximum transmitting range in the 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.
WEATHER STATION READINGS
WHAT IS THIS EXTRA SENSOR AREA?

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 neighbor’s.
•When you press and release your SENSOR button you will see your Station ID, your
Thermo-Hygro sensor ID, your Wind Speed sensor ID, and your Rain sensor ID.
Note: If you have Extra Sensors connected to your station you will also see these ids.
•The sensor ID on the station should match the first six numbers on the barcode of that
sensor.
•These sensors will remain locked in 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.
1. Remove batteries from your old sensor.
2. Press and release the SENSOR button to view your sensor ID number.
3. While viewing your sensor ID, hold the (-) button for 5 seconds to delete your old sensor ID.
Dashes will show the ID number.
4. Your station will automatically begin searching for the new sensor.
5. 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.
•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:
1. Hold the WIND ALERTS and LIGHT buttons together for 5 seconds.
2. 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 DON’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.
TEMP ACCURACY: WHY DOES MY THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR READ
INACCURATELY?
•The thermo-hygro sensor reads the environment. Since your Temperature/Humidity
readings come from the Wind/TH sensor they may occasionally be inaccurate if the sunlight
hits the sensor.
•If this is a common occurrence you can purchase an LTV-TH2 sensor and replace the
Temperature/Humidity Reading from the Wind/TH sensor.

HOW TO REPLACE THE TH READING FROM THE WIND TH SENSOR WITH AN
LTV-TH2?
The new Wind Speed, Wind Direction Sensor with Temperature/Humidity may cause inaccurate
temperature readings in some locations. Because of this, you have the option to remove the TH
sensor reading (from the LTV-WSDTH03) and add an additional TH sensor to read in the
OUTDOOR area of the display.
1. Press the SENSOR button once the Station ID will show.
2. Press the SENSOR button again ID WTH123 THW SENSOR will show.
3. Hold the MINUS (-) button for 5 seconds while viewing ID to delete ID WTH123.
To add a separate LTV-TH2 sensor:
•After deleting the TH sensor built into the Wind Sensor (ID: WTH123), press the SENSOR
button on the station to view the ID, then press the + (PLUS) button to search.
•Press the TX button on the add-on sensor.
•Sensor Icon will show to indicate reading is coming from a separate TH sensor.
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 the 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., moist 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, 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.
