  • Page 4 LTV-R3: 2-AA batteries LTV-TH2: 2-AA batteries V30v2 (328-10618): 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. Power cord is required. POWER INPUT: WILL THIS STATION WORK IN OTHER COUNTRIES?? •...
  • Page 5 MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSORS? All of your sensors read independently to your station. This provides freedom to position each sensor in the best location available. LTV-W1 OR LTV-W2: • 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.
  • Page 6 • Place your sensor in a well-vented area. Trapped moisture will cause inaccurate readings. • Maximum transmission distance from your Thermo-Hygro sensor to your station, in open air is 400 feet (121.92meters). • Insert the mounting screw through the front of the transmitter and into the wall. Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
  • Page 7 Purchase Extra Sensors: For additional sensors to read to your station or to the app visit the PARTS TAB at: http://bit.ly/V30V2(328-10618) Note: Not all sensors will read to the station. Be sure to check the chart to see if a sensor can read to the app only, or both station and app.
  • Page 8 2. Hold the MINUS (-) button for 3 seconds to delete this sensor. The sensor readings and ID will show dashes. 3. Sensor will no longer show in the Extra Sensor area. HOW DO I ADD EXTRA SENSORS TO MY APP? Open your La Crosse View app to add sensors.
  • Page 9 • 24 Hour Wind Speed – Shows the top speed in the past 24 hours from the last record. This is a rolling 24 hour period and not a set midnight to midnight reading. This means it updates each hour to show you the past 24 hours. •...
  • Page 10 • 24 Hours – Shows rainfall in the past 24 hours as a rolling value that updates every hour to show the past 24 hours.

  • Page 11 • Indoor HI Temperature • Indoor LO Temperature • Indoor HI Humidity • Indoor LO Humidity • Feels Like HI • Feels Like LO • Dew Point Note: Dew Point does not have a time/date of occurrence. HOW DO I RESET THE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY READINGS? Your temperature and humidity readings are reset individually.
  • Page 12 TIME: DOES THIS STATION HAVE ATOMIC TIME? • Standalone station: When operating as a standalone station, the time needs to be set manually on this station. • Connected to the La Crosse View™ app: When operating as a connected station the time and date will update from the Internet.

Please be patient. o Weather Forecast, Precipitation and Weather HI/LO temperature will not be displayed. Note: If connection to app is lost: The last readings from the Internet will remain for up to 3 hours to allow connection to reestablish on its own.
  • Page 15 • A battery icon will appear near your OUTDOOR temperature reading when you need to change batteries in your thermo-hygro sensor. • A battery icon will appear near your INDOOR humidity reading when you need to change batteries in your station. •...
  • Page 16 CONNECTED FORECAST FEATURES ADVANCED FORECAST ICONS & CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION Connected Station: When your station is connected to the La Crosse View™ app you will see an additional 8 forecast icons from AccuWeather. Your forecast will update multiple times per day. The forecast icons predict weather condition for the next 12 hours.
  • Page 17 WAIT FOR WEATHER will show if the station is currently updating. Wait a few minutes and try again. ACCUWEATHER HI/LO TEMPERATURES Daily AccuWeather HI/LO Temperature predictions will display below the Forecast Icons. The word TODAY will show as well as the Internet Indicator. Note: When operating as a standalone station this section will display your Outdoor Temperature Records registered daily by your Thermo-Hygro Sensor.
  • Page 18 • 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 press and release the SENSOR button until you see your sensor ID.
  • Page 19 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. 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.
  • Page 20 WHAT DOES A READING OF “HI” OR “LO” MEAN? • If your outdoor temperature reading shows “HI” or “LO”, check that your batteries are good. • Overpower or underpowered batteries can cause this reading. • If batteries are good, replace the outdoor sensor. •...
  • Page 21 • 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. • Check mounting location. Look for obstructions that prevent the wind from reaching the sensor.
  • Page 22 • 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.
  • Page 23 • 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 cause another barrier. Radio Frequency (RF) signal does not travel well through foliage due to the moisture content.
  • Page 24 Complete a Tip Test: Write down the Total Rain reading or reset the Rain Total to 0.00. With 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.
