6. Check the cable for correct connection and test all the components for correct functionality by manually turning the wind-gauge; tilting the optional rain sensor to hear the impact of the internal moving seesaw, etc. (See Positioning below). 7. Time and date must be manually set (See Manual Setting below). 8. After the Weather Center has been tested and found fit, the initial set up of the weather station system is finished and the mounting of the system components can take place.
NOTE: When changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is because the thermo-hygro sensor at start-up assigns a random security code and this code must be received and stored by the Weather Center in the first several minutes of power being supplied to it. HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE THE BATTERIES INTO THE WEATHER STATION The Weather Station works with 2 x C, IEC LR14 1.5V batteries.
SET key Press and hold to enter manual setting modes: LCD contrast, Manual time setting, 12/24 hour time display, Calendar setting, ºC/ ºF temperature unit, Wind speed unit, Rainfall unit, Pressure unit, Relative pressure reference setting, Weather tendency threshold, Storm threshold setting Press to toggle between Mode 1 and Mode 2: - Mode1: "Wind speed + outdoor temp + rel.
** In normal display mode, user may press the SET key to toggle between Mode1 and Mode 2 display: Mode 1: Wind speed, outdoor temperature, relative air pressure are shown. Wind speed icon Outdoor temp icon Rel. Air Pressure icon In Mode 1, this reception icon is showing the condition of the reception of the signal from Thermo-hygro transmitter Mode 2: Wind gust, dew point, and rainfall (optional) reading are shown. Note: To view the rainfall data, press the + key after entering Mode 2 display.
MANUAL TIME SETTING: You then may manually set the time by following the steps below: Minutes Flashing Hour Flashing 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. The hour digit will flash. Use the + or MIN/MAX key to set the hour. Press the SET key to switch to the minutes. The minute digit will flash. Use the + or MIN/MAX key to set the minutes (holding of the key will forward the digit by 5). Confirm the time with the SET key and enter the 12/24-HOUR TIME DISPLAY SETTING.
The wind speed unit can be set as mph (mile per hour), km/h (Kilometer per hour), or m/s (meter per second). The default unit is mph. 1. Use the + or MIN/MAX key to toggle between the unit “mph”, “km/h”, or “m/s” 2. Confirm with the SET key and enter the RAINFALL UNIT SETTING. RAINFALL UNIT SETTING (OPTIONAL) Note: the rain unit setting is only available if there is a rain sensor. Skip this setting by pressing the SET key again to enter the Relative Air Pressure Unit Setting.

For example, if th he current we eather is cloud dy and the rainy icon is ng. It simply m displayed, it does not mean m that the e product is fa aulty because it is not rainin means that th he air pressure has dropped and the weatther is expected to get worrse but not ne ecessarily rain ny.
NOTE: For accurate barometric pressure trend, the Weather Center should operate at the same altitude. For example, it should not be moved. Should the unit be moved, for instance from the ground to the second floor of the house, the readings for the next 48-60 hours shall be discarded.. WIND SPEED MEASUREMENT In normal display mode, the second section of the LCD shows the following wind data.
NOTE: To view total rainfall or 24-hour rainfall in history records, first, in normal display mode, choose to show the particular rainfall data, then press the History key followed by the SET key to view the particular rainfall data in History records. (rain data information only available if a rain sensor is being usedoptional). HISTORY icon 3. When viewing History records, press MIN/ MAX to view older records. (Press MIN/MAX and + key to view "Previous" and "Next" record respectively.

Press MIN/MAX key to show the desired weather data.
To reset the rainfall reading: - Press the + key once when the Rainfall value and Reset icon are shown. - Then the total rainfall amount will be reset to 0, and the time updated to current time. NOTE: After power up, the time and date and total rainfall are displayed as "- - -". After time is adjusted manually, the set time will be shown.
attached. Please visit your local retailer or www.lacrossetechnology.com and click on the Buy button to locate an online dealer or other retailers. Using phone cables or connections may damage your sensors because phone cables and connections have more resistance than the La Crosse Technology extension cable. Phone cables or connections are not recommended for use. NOTE: Using extension cables will shorten battery life. Warning: Never cut, splice, shorten or modify your sensor cables or extension cables.
Once the wind sensor is fixed onto the mast, connect the cable to the corresponding thermo-hygro sensor socket so that operating power supply can be received and data can be transmitted to the base station. Secure cord from blowing. Do not use staples. Using PVC pipe or metal as a mast may cause static. Wood is recommended. The Rain Sensor (optional) Horizontal panel For best results, the rain sensor should be securely mounted onto a horizontal surface about 39.
Relative humidity measuring range: Outdoor: 1% to 99% with 1% resolution (Displays “- -” if < 1%, "99" Displays if 99%) Wind speed/ gust: 0 to 111.8 mph (0 to 180km/h; 0 to 50 m/s) (Displays "OF.L" when > 111.8 mph; 180 km/h; 50m/s) Wind chill/ dew point: -40°F to +139.8° F with 0.2° F resolution -40ºC to +59.9º C with 0.1º C resolution (“OF.L” displayed if outside this range) Relative pressure pre-set range: 27.14 to 31.90 inHg (919 to 1080 hPa) 24h rainfall: 0" to 39.3" with 0.
