La Crosse Technology, Ltd. Page 7 Mounting on a metal or white PVC pole may cause interference or static and inaccurate readings. Check that the cups turn freely. Check for insects or debris preventing free movement. Be sure the cups are below the mast holder. Check that the cups have not dropped. Push up firmly in the center of the cups to seat properly. 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 pointon the roof in order to clear nearby obstructions and read accurately. A 50 foot clearance in alldirections is best. It is helpful to send pictures of the sensor mounting, if you need to contact customer support. Check that your batteries are fresh in the thermo-hygro sensor and the weather station.Wind reading is OFL Place wind sensor under a light source for 24 hours. Please note if there are certain times of the day or night this occurs. Check the solar panel for damage of breakdown.Understanding wind readings Wind Gust: A sudden, brief increase in speed of the wind. The duration of a gust is usually less than20 seconds. The wind gust is a calculated value from a collection of wind speed data points over time. Peak Gustfor example, is calculated against the previous and next sample and may not be the same asmaximum wind speed reported. Wind Speed: Measure of wind in varying speeds throughout the entire day. The wind sensor “samples” wind speed twice every 17 seconds and then sends the average andpeak of these samples to the thermo-hygro sensor. The thermo-hygro sensor updates to the weather station every 13 seconds. The timing of the windsensor data packet to the weather station from the thermo-hygro sensor may create a short delay.This delay does not affect the accuracy of the data over time.Wind area on the weather station is blank (no dashes or numbers) Check that other areas of the weather station read properly. Check batteries in the weather station. The weather station, thermo-hygro sensor and wind sensor need testing.Wind direction shows dashes If the speed is working then the wind sensor is bad.Wind sensor is frozen Freezing rain and wet snow can clog the wind sensor and prevent it from reading speed ortemperature. Bring the sensor in the house for 2-3 days. The sensor will need to thaw out and dry out for preventrefreezing.Wireless Rain SensorHow to view rain on the weather station View: Press and release the ▼DOWN ARROW to select the rainfall value to display (1-hour, 24-hourweekly, monthly or total rain).
