Installing the Wind Cups (if needed)
Remove the Cyclone Sensor, Wind Cups,
and Mini Screwdriver from the package.
Take note of the flat edges located on the
head of the Cyclone Sensor and underside
of the Wind Cups.
Carefully tighten the screw on the side of the
cups using the Mini Screwdriver. The screw
should tighten into the flat edge of the post.
Align the flat edges and place the Wind
Cups on top of the Cyclone Sensor.
When the screw is tight, gently pull up on
the cups to ensure they are secure.
If they pull o, start again with step two.

Download the La Crosse View App
Visit the App Store or Google Play Store to download the free
La Crosse View app onto your mobile device.
Launch the App
Connecting Your Station to the App
Open the La Crosse View app. Follow the on-screen setup
instructions to create an account, add new devices, and connect
your station to your Wi-Fi network.
Stay connected to your home anytime, anywhere with the
La Crosse View app.
Monitor your home environment and set custom alerts to notify
you when conditions change.
Connecting your station is optional and the display will function
as a standalone unit without the Wi-Fi connection. However, we
recommend connecting during the initial setup, as it will save you
time and allows access to some advanced features right away.
Stay Connected to Your Home
Anytime, Anywhere.
Now that you’ve created your La Crosse View account, it’s time to add your station into your
account and connect it to your home router using the La Crosse View app.
NOTE: For the steps listed on the next page, you’ll need your Wi-Fi network name (SSID)
and password. Make sure your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Checking Your Station’s Wi-Fi Status
Press the SET button on the top of the station to view your Wi-Fi Status.
Having Trouble Connecting to Wi-Fi?
The app should guide you through the best method for your Wi-Fi network and router. However,
if you have trouble connecting, please go to: bit.ly/wifi_questions or scan the QR code. This will
explain additional connectivity options, including connecting by WPS or contacting our technical
support team for further assistance.
ALL OK CONNECTED
Your station is connected to your
Wi-Fi network and its data should
be available on the station and
in the app.
SEE APP TO CONNECT
Check the app for notifications.
NO WEATHER SERVICE
Your Internet weather and time
services are not connecting.
These should resolve on their
own, please be patient.
LOST WIFI
Check your router and network
connections.
The La Crosse View app is required to connect the station to your Wi-Fi network. Download, install,
and log into your La Crosse View account first.
New User Initial Setup: When first setting up your
station, the app will lead you through a series of
instructions to help get your station added into your
account and connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
Manually Add & Connect Display: After the initial walkthrough,
stations can be added and connected via the Devices tab in the
app’s main menu. Simply tap the Add Device or +button at the
bottom of the Devices page in the app.
1.
Follow the initial app instructions or manually add the display into your account.2.
Next, the app will prompt you to use your phone to scan the device ID barcode located on the back of
the station. Please note, adding a device to your account and connecting it to Wi-Fi are two dierent
steps. You can complete either step separately if you have any trouble.
When connected, the station will beep, and time and forecast information should populate on the
display. The indicator will also become solid.

* This step is only required if you do not receive the Add Device
notification within the app.
Prior to mounting/positioning your sensors, make sure your
station is receiving sensor data.
Upon getting the station connected to your Wi-Fi network, the app will
explain how your connected sensor should be brought in. Within the next
15 minutes, you should receive an Add Device notification in your app.
This is indicated by the Red Cloud and the numbers inside of it. Tap this
icon to begin adding your sensor into the app.

Sensor Placement & Mounting Cyclone Sensor Mounting
SENSORS SENSORS
21 22
• 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 a 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.
• For online video instruction visit: bit.ly/th_sensor_mounting
Fence posts, poles, decks, and mailboxes are common mounting options due to their convenience.
Many users prefer these types of locations as the data they provides is accurate from their ground
level. However, because the wind in these spots is often aected by obstructions, the readings may
dier when compared to local reporting stations.
 Use the built-in Bubble Level to ensure the Cyclone Sensor
(especially the rain gauge) is mounted level.
 Ensure the Solar Panel is facing to the South. This helps
optimize battery life and transmit correct wind direction data.
 Ideally, the Cyclone Sensor should be mounted on the tallest
object in your area. Avoid positioning the sensor parallel
or below eaves, roof lines, trees, or other objects that may
obstruct wind and rain readings.
 Make sure all the screws on the Mounting Bracket, Wind Cups,
Wind Vane, and Battery Compartment are securely fastened.
 The Cyclone Sensor should be mounted with the Wind Cups
on the top. See page 02 for wind cup installation information.
For Accurate Thermo-Hygro Sensor Measurements Basic Installation
For Accurate Cyclone Sensor Measurements
Bubble Level
Mount the Mast to a flat surface with the four
provided screws.
Check the integrated Bubble Level or use your own
across the Rain Funnel to ensure the sensor is level.
Place the Cyclone Pro Sensor on top of the Mast.
Ensure the Solar Panel is facing south.
Secure the Cyclone Sensor to the Mast by tightening
the screws on the side. After screws are tightened,
double check the sensor has remained level
through the installation process.

Cleaning the Rain Sensor
SENSORS
Remove the Rain Funnel by firmly twisting
the funnel counter-clockwise and lifting up.
After cleaning, re-install the Rain Funnel by
placing it back into the sensor and twisting
clockwise until secure.
Clear any leaves, insects, or other debris to
allow the Rain Tipper to rock freely. Check
and clear the Drainage Holes located on
the underside of the sensor.
You should feel the funnel lock into place
when one of the arrows lines up with the
center of the Lock/Unlock Line.

Flexible Installation
Some advanced installation options include tripods, wall 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. These options will require additional equipment and possibly professional help for
best results.
Advanced Installation
Install the Hand Screw to the bracket, then Secure
the Cyclone Sensor to the Mast by tightening the
screws on the side.
This configuration allows you to attach the sensor
to angled locations and easily make adjustments
to ensure the Mast and Sensor are level.
Tip: Remove the Cyclone Sensor’s batteries before cleaning to avoid accidental rain readings.
