GENERAL INFORMATION
BATTERIES: WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BATTERIES?
•Good fresh batteries are important for best performance in your sensors and as backup in your station.
•Batteries with an expiration date of 2020, were manufactured in 2010.
•We recommend batteries with an expiration date no more than 6 years in advance of the current year for best
performance.
•A minimum voltage of 1.48 v per battery is required for the best performance.
•Lithium batteries may be used in outdoor sensors. Alkaline batteries for the station.
HARDWARE: SENSORS AND STATION
Your V22V2 station comes with:
LTV-W1 Wind Speed sensor.
LTV-R3 Rain sensor
LTV-TH2 Thermo-hygro sensor that reads Temperature and Humidity.
All sensors operate at 915MHz RF.
WHAT ARE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS STATION?
LTV-W1: 2-C batteries
LTV-R3: 2-AA batteries
LTV-TH2: 2-AA batteries
V22V2:5 volt power cord (required) and 3-AA batteries for optional backup of your time and
date. Battery operation only will not update sensor or Wi-Fi data. Power cord is required.
POWER INPUT: WILL THIS STATION WORK IN OTHER COUNTRIES??
•Your power cord input is 100-240V 0.3A 50/60Hz 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.
•As a standalone station-, you can use this anywhere.
•Weather information will be based on zip code, or city selected.
SETUP: HOW DO I SETUP MY STATION?
Your station is a fully functional standalone station.
1. Install batteries into each sensor (any order).
2. Install power cord into wall outlet, and into the station. Install batteries in the station if you wish.
3. Let sensors and station sit within 10 feet of each other for several minutes to lock the sensor signals to the
display.

4 | Page
Once the sensors are 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. Click here for instructions for connecting your
station to the La Crosse View™ app.
MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSORS?
All your sensors read independently to your station. This provides freedom to position each sensor in the best
location available.
LTV-W1:
•Place your wind sensor two times higher than any large object within 50 feet. Wind does not pass through
hard objects; it is distorted by them. If your sensor is too close you will measure the air turbulence and not
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 open air, is 400 feet
(121.92meters).
•Use the included mounting bracket or your own 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).
LTV-R3:
•Mount your rain sensor in an open area for a more accurate rain count.
•Placing the rain sensor on the ground provides the most accurate rainfall measurement as there is no wind
shear. Unfortunately, since insects think of rain gauges as personal hotels, placing the sensor 3-6 feet above
ground may deter the insects.
•Be sure your rain sensor is not sitting in a depression that would prevent rain from draining from the sensor
properly.
•Your rain sensor should be accessible to allow for periodic cleaning of leaves or other debris that may clog the
funnel.
•Install the Rain sensor on a level platform that is stationary and has a direct line of sight to your station.
•Insert three mounting screws through the holes in the base of the rain sensor. Do not over tighten.
•Avoid other wireless rain sensors, as this can cause inaccuracy.
•The maximum wireless transmission range to the rain station is over 400 feet (121 meters) in open air, not
including walls or floors.
LTV-TH2:
•Place your thermo-hygro sensor at least 6 feet off the ground.
•For accurate temperature readings your sensor needs to be shaded from the sun in a well vented area.
•Mount your sensor vertically to allow moisture to drain out the bottom.
•The preferred location is on a north facing wall under an eave or deck rail.
•Avoid placing it near a metal roof that will cause it to read high on sunny days.
•Avoid other sources of heat such as soffit vents, and window or door frames.
•For accurate humidity readings, avoid placement near vegetation and lakes or other bodies of water when
possible.
•Place your sensor in a well-vented area. Trapped moisture will cause inaccurate readings.
•Maximum transmission distance from your thermos-hygro sensor to your station, in open air, is 400 feet
(121.92meters).

5 | Page
•Insert the mounting screw through the front of the transmitter and into the wall. Tighten the screw to snug (do
not over tighten).
WHERE TO I PLACE MY STATION?
Your station is designed for flexible placement on a desk or countertop, or to position on the wall.
•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 a 5 volt power cord 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.
•The best reception occurs when only one wall is between your station and each sensor outside.
•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 DISTANCE | RESISTANCE | 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.
READINGS: HOW DO I INTERPRET THE CURRENT WIND READINGS?
•Wind Speed - is the highest current wind speed at the last record.
•Top Speed – is the highest wind speed reading in the past hour.
•Blue circle-
oStandalone station: When operating as a standalone station, the blue circle will remain solid.
oConnected to the La Crosse View™ app:Your blue circle will forecast Weather Service wind direction.

FORECAST ICONS: WHAT DO THE FORECAST ICONS MEAN?
Standalone Station: When operating as a standalone station, the forecast icons predict weather conditions over
the next 12-hours based on the change of atmospheric pressure with about 70-75% accuracy. As weather
conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted we are not responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect
forecast.
Forecast Icons for standalone station:
•Sunny
•Partly Sunny
•Cloudy
•Rain
•T-Storm
•Snow
Note: The “snow” icon appears when the temperature is below 32°F (0°C) and the forecast is rainy or stormy.
•Your station calibrates barometric pressure based on its location over time to generate an accurate, personal
forecast. Please allow 7-10 days for barometer calibration.
•IMPORTANT: As the Station builds memory, it will compare the current average pressure to the past forty day
average pressure for increased accuracy. The longer the Station operates in one location the more accurate
the forecast icons will be.
Connected Station: When your station is connected to the La Crosse View™ app you will see an additional 8
forecast icons from the Weather Service. Your forecast will update multiple times per day. The forecast icons
predict weather conditions for the next 3-6 hours.
Additional forecast icons when connected:

TROUBLESHOOTING
HOW DO I CHANGE BATTERIES IN MY SENSORS WITHOUT LOSING DATA?
We designed this station for convenience, so that a simple change of batteries does not lose data or require you to
power down your station.
•If you have a low battery icon on your station, you need to replace the batteries in the sensor or in the station
as indicated.
•Simply install fresh batteries into your sensor then hold the SENSOR button for 3 seconds and your station will
search for your sensors.
•When changing the batteries in the station, continue using the power cord. After replacing the batteries, no
other action is needed. The batteries in the station only maintain time/date in the event of a power outage.
BAR CODE: WHAT ARE THE BARCODES AND ID NUMBERS
ON MY SENSORS AND 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, and your wind speed sensor ID and your rain sensor ID.
•The sensor ID on the station should match your 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, press the MINUS 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.

13 | Page
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:
1. Hold the RAIN 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. Click herefor details.
DASHES TEMP/HUMIDITY: WHY DOES MY THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR SHOW DASHES ON THE
STATION?
Dashes indicate the connection is lost between your station and the outdoor sensor.
•My first thought is always to check that my batteries are good. If it has been working and now is not, low
batteries are the most common connection problem.
•Next, check your distance, resistance, and interference. If everything was working previously at the same
location, this is likely not the issue. However sometimes there is new growth on trees or bushes that causes
another barrier. Radio Frequency (RF) signal does not travel well through foliage due to the moisture content.
•Occasionally adding a new wireless electronic device to the home will cross the signal path for the sensor. If
this occurs try moving your station a few feet or turning the station 90 degrees for a better angle to receive
the sensor signal.
•When you have good batteries, and in a good location, hold the SENSOR button for three seconds to search
for your sensors. If you regain connection while the sensor is mounted, great. If you do not regain
connection, bring the sensor within 10 feet of the station and search again.
WHY DON’T MY 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. If your sensor reads high during the day but not at night it is
a mounting problem.
•Side-by-side test: Bring the thermo-hygro sensor in the house and place it next to your station for 2 hours.
•Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4 degrees to be within
tolerance. The humidity should be within 14% to be within tolerance.
•If the sensor reads correctly when next to your station then try a different location outside.
•Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door, or window frames, or reflected heat that may cause inaccurate
readings.

14 | Page
•Press and release the SENSOR button to view the thermos-hygro sensor ID number. Compare the barcode on
your sensor to be sure they match.
•If your temperature is reading low, and location is not an issue, you may have a bad 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 INTERMITTANT: 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 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 sensor.
•Be sure you have good batteries. Manually search for your sensor by holding the SENSOR button for three
seconds.
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.
WHY AM I GOING THROUGH BATTERIES QUICKLY?
•Test a new set of batteries. Write down the date of installation and the voltage of the batteries.
•When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again. This is helpful in determining the problem.
•Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the sensor.
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.
WHY ARE MY WIND CUPS NOT SPINNING?
•Check for debris or ice preventing cups from moving.

15 | Page
•Check mounting location. Look for obstructions that prevent the wind from reaching the sensor.
•In most cases, the wind sensor needs to be 4-6ft above the highest point on the roof to clear nearby
obstructions and read accurately.
•A 50-foot clearance in all directions is best.
•Push down firmly on the center of the cups to reseat them.
•Cups are replaceable.
CAN I REPLACE MY WIND CUPS?
Occasionally, a bad storm with hail or debris that will damage your wind cups. These are easily replaced.
Replace wind cups:
1. Loosen the screw on side of cups
2. Remove cups
3. Install new cups
4. Tighten screw
Note: The screw in the wind cups will fit on the flat side of the metal stem on the sensor.
WIND READING 0.00: WHY DO I ONLY SEE 0.00 FOR WIND SPEED?
The 0.00 means your wind sensor is connected to your station.
•Check that the cups spin freely. Something may be preventing movement.
•Are your wind cups unbroken? After a storm it is good to check this.
WIND DASHES: WHY ARE THERE DASHES FOR WIND READINGS?
Dashes indicate the connection is lost between your station and the wind sensor.
•My first thought is always to check that my batteries are good. If it has been working and now is not, low
batteries are the most common connection problem.
•Next, check your distance, resistance, and interference. If everything was working previously at the same
location, this is likely not the issue. However sometimes there is new growth on trees or bushes that causes
another barrier. Radio Frequency (RF) signal does not travel well through foliage due to the moisture content.
•Occasionally adding a new wireless electronic device to the home will cross the signal path for the sensor. If
this occurs try moving your station a few feet or turning the station 90 degrees for a better angle to receive
the sensor signal.
•When you have good batteries, and in a good location, hold the SENSOR button for three seconds to search
for your sensors. If you regain connection while the sensor is mounted, great. If you do not regain
connection, bring the sensor within 10 feet of the station and search again.
WIND INTERMITTANT: WHY DO MY WIND READINGS COME AND GO?
•RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally. This can be normal in some

•Continue moving the wind sensor back to its original location.
•If you lose connection, look for sources of interference.
WIND ACCURACY: WHY IS MY WIND SPEED INACCURATE?
•What are you comparing your wind speed to? Your local reporting station is miles from your location and
should not be used for comparison.
•Check the unit of measure (MPH, or KMH).
•Check to see if your station receives the same repetitive wind speed recording from the sensor multiple times.
•Check that the cups turn freely.
•Check for obstructions that prevent clear wind flow to the cups.
•Check mounting. In most cases, the wind sensor needs to be 6 feet or more above the highest point on the
roof to clear nearby obstructions and read accurately. A 50-foot clearance in all directions is best.
•It is helpful to send pictures of the sensor mounting if you need to contact customer support.
RAIN DASHES: WHY ARE THERE DASHES FOR RAIN READINGS?
Dashes indicate the connection is lost between your station and the rain sensor.
•My first thought is always to check that my batteries are good. If it has been working and now is not, low
batteries are the most common connection problem.
•Next, check your distance, resistance, and interference. If everything was working previously at the same

•Continue moving the rain sensor back to its original location.
•If you lose connection, look for sources of interference.
RAIN LOW: WHY IS MY RAINFALL READING LOW?
•Low rain readings indicate the rain sensor and station are connected.
•Check that the rocker tips freely.
•Check the funnel and the inside of the rain sensor for insect nests or debris that may cause loss of rocker
motion.
•Be sure to mount the rain sensor level.
Complete a Tip Test:
Write down the Total Rain reading or reset the Rain Total to 0.00. With the rain sensor mounted slowly pour water
into the funnel to tip the rocker of the rain sensor 10 times. Wait at least 2 minutes for all the rain to collect. Repeat
three times.
•Compare these tests. If they are the same, then your rain is reading correctly. If the rain readings are different,
repeat the test 3 times to avoid human error. Then look for causes such as mounting too tight or debris
clogging the funnel.
RAIN HIGH: WHY IS MY RAINFALL READING HIGH?
•Check for sources of RF (radio frequency) interference such as other wireless rain sensors, ham radios or
electric transformers.
•Keep the station six feet from cordless phones or wireless routers etc.
Complete a Tip Test:
Write down the Total Rain reading or reset the Rain Total to 0.00. With the rain sensor mounted slowly pour water
into the funnel to tip the rocker of the rain sensor 10 times. Wait at least 2 minutes for all the rain to collect. Repeat
three times.

•Compare these tests. If they still read high then contact support.
HOW CAN I CLEAN THE RAIN SENSOR?
1. Remove rain funnel (open locking tabs on both sides and pull off funnel)
2. Gently remove debris or insects from inside the rainsensor.
3. Clear debris from drain vents.
4. Clear debris from the rain funnel.
5. Reinstall the rain funnel.
Note: Do not oil the rain sensor.
