FIRST THINGS FIRST, OR BATTERIES, BATTERIES, BATTERIES

Batteries are the number one warranty issue that we have. We recommend new, plain alkaline

batteries for our products.

A good alkaline battery will have an expiration date printed on it. Alkaline batteries are dated six

to seven years beyond the current year. Therefore a battery with an expiration date three years

beyond the current year has already been sitting on a shelf for three to four years. Consider what

happens to your car battery if you let it sit unused for three to four years.

If you have a voltmeter and your older batteries test to 1.48 or better, they should power our

products. New plain alkaline batteries often test to 1.6 or better.

Use good quality alkaline batteries with an expiration date of at least six years into the future or

newer. If you are using questionable batteries, be sure they measure at least 1.48 on a

voltmeter. Generic or store brand batteries, and batteries labeled super, ultra, max, heavy duty,

lithium and rechargeable should be avoided. These batteries provide their power at different

rates than plain alkaline batteries. This may cause problems, especially with the display unit. It is

not always a low battery that causes problems. It may be an overpowered battery.

– Proper Restart (Quick Set-up Guide)

In the event of installing or changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by

following the setup procedures.

1. Remove batteries from the Thermo-hygro (outdoor) sensor, Rain sensor and the

Base station (s).

Let sit without batteries for 15 minutes.

2.Then disconnect and reconnect the Wind sensor cable (be sure it clicks into place).

Reinsert the batteries into the Thermo-hygro sensor and Rain sensor first. Be sure to

use a new, quality alkaline battery (heavy duty and rechargeable types should be

avoided)

Note: It is important that the sensors be at least 5 feet from your base during the

restart.

3. Return to the base station, with the batteries out, and press any button 20 times.

Verify that the display is completely blank before proceeding.

4. Reinstall batteries in the display and do not press any other buttons for AT LEAST

30 minutes while the station completes its startup sequence.

5. Please note you may see Wind and Temperature/humidity, but you will generally

not see Rain until you tip the rocker 30 minutes after start up. This is

because the station will first find the Thermhygro sensor and spend 15 minutes

locking in this code. Then is will actively search for the Rain gauge for 15

minutes to lock in its code.

Mounting Sensors

It is best to set everything up in the house to be sure it works before mounting the sensors. Tip

the Rain gauge and spin the Wind sensor, to be sure they read to the base.

We do not have a complete sensor installation guide as each Home Installation is different and

covering all of the variables would result in a guide far longer than anyone would be willing to

read. Our website http://www.lacrossetechnology.com/support/setup.php

has some tips.

With that said, here are a few general guidelines to remember when installing your sensors:

Place the Wind sensor as high as you can install it. In most cases 4-6 ft above the peak of your

roof (or more) is required for accurate readings. (Avoid tall trees or other obstructions that may

block or reflect the wind).

Be sure to observe the Directions listed on the sensor. The point of the vane will tell you where

the wind is coming from.

Please carefully thread the Wind cord through the mast and be sure the cord fits in the slot or

hole designed to prevent pinching. Please note the proper Direction when mounting.

Be sure not to overtighten U bolts to mast, as they can crack the mast.

Avoid: Transmitting antennas. PVC pipe (unless electrical grade) as a mast, improper extension

cords (phone cord is much more resistant than our sensor cord) and modifications of the cords in

any way.

Please note most recording stations have sensors mounted 33 ft up or higher.

5. Install the Rain gauge on a level platform that is stationary. If the gauge isn't level it will

read low, and it it isn't stationary wind will cause it to read rain that isn't falling.

Tip: Be sure not to screw the rain sensor down too tightly as that will result in a low or

inaccurate reading.

6. Place the Rain gauge 2-3ft (or more) above the ground. This will prevent dirt from clogging

the gauge and will place it higher than most insects are willing to climb. Placing the gauge

extremely high is generally not a good idea as you may need to periodically clear debris

such as leaves, spider nests etc.

7. Place the Thermo-hygro sensor in a well-shaded area that is protected from direct rainfall

and sun, as it will read high if exposed to the sun. If the sensor gets too wet it will never

read accurate humidity again, so take care to ensure that it will not be exposed to a

downpour. Light incidental exposure to water typically will not harm the sensor.

8- A good location is under the eaves on the north side of the house. You can also build a

small roof or box for it if you do not have an overhang. Please be sure it is well vented.

9- Your Wind cord, must be plugged into the Thermo-hygro sensor before installing batteries.

Be sure the cord is secured from blowing around (do not staple or pinch), and occasionally

check for animals chewing through.

–Program Set Up Menu

There are five function keys: SET, +, HISTORY, ALARM, and MIN/MAX. You begin by pressing

the SET button until the display flashes. When you press and release the SET button after each

step, you will be moved to the next step. You may exit the programming mode at any time by

pressing the ALARM button.

If you stay at the set mode for more than 30 seconds, the unit will return to normal display mode.

If you want to change the settings, you just need to press the function keys you need. At this

stage, the unit will not return to the normal display mode. After changing the settings, you can

press and release the SET button to get to the next step.

1. CONTRAST SETTING:

Press and hold the SET button for two seconds. LCD and a number from 1-8 will be flashing. To

increase the contrast of the LCD display, press and release the PLUS button. To decrease the
