GENERAL INFORMATION

BATTERIES: WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BATTERIES?

•Good fresh batteries are important for best performance in your sensors and as backup in

your station.

•Batteries with an expiration date of 2028, were manufactured in 2018.

•We recommend batteries with an expiration date no more than 6 years in advance of the

current year for best performance.

•A minimum voltage of 1.48 v per battery is required for the best performance.

•Lithium batteries may be used in outdoor sensors. Alkaline batteries for the station.

HARDWARE: SENSORS AND STATION

Your V21v3 station comes with:

LTV-W1 or LTV-W2 Wind Speed sensor.

LTV-TH1 Thermo-hygro sensor that reads Temperature and Humidity.

All sensors operate at 915MHz RF.

WHAT ARE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS STATION?

LTV-W1 or LTV-W2:2-C batteries

LTV-TH1: 2-AA batteries

V21v3:5 volt power cord (required) and 3-AA batteries for optional 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??

•Your power cord input is 100-240V 0.3A 50/60Hz and may work in other countries if the

proper plug adapter is used (not included).

Note: There is no guarantee this station will work in other countries.

•As a standalone station-, you can use this anywhere.

SETUP: HOW DO I SETUP MY STATION?

Your station is a fully functional standalone station.

1. Install batteries into each sensor (any order).

4 | Page

2. Install power cord into wall outlet, and into the station. Install batteries in the station if

you wish.

3. Let sensors and station sit within 10 feet of each other for several minutes to lock the

sensor signals to the display.

Once the sensors are connected, you can choose to connect to the La Crosse View™ app or

continue to use as a standalone station. You can always connect later if you choose. Click

here for instructions for connecting your station to the La Crosse View™ app.

MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSORS?

All 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. If your sensor is too close you will

measure the air turbulence and not actual wind speed.

•Place away from trees. Wind passing through trees moves slower than wind in open

areas.

•Mount your sensor in a vertical position with the wind cups on top.

•The maximum transmission distance from your multi-sensor to your station, in open air, is

400 feet (121.92meters).

•Use the included mounting bracket or your own mounting pole (no more than 1 inch

outer diameter to fit). Secure the sensor with screws provided. Tighten the screws to

snug (do not over tighten).

LTV-TH1:

•Place your thermo-hygro sensor at least 6 feet off the ground.

•For accurate temperature readings your sensor needs to be shaded from the sun in a well

vented area.

•Mount your sensor vertically to allow moisture to drain out the bottom.

•The preferred location is on a north facing wall under an eave or deck rail.

•Avoid placing it near a metal roof that will cause it to read high on sunny days.

•Avoid other sources of heat such as soffit vents, and window or door frames.

•For accurate humidity readings, avoid placement near vegetation and lakes or other

bodies of water when possible.

•Place your sensor in a well-vented area. Trapped moisture will cause inaccurate readings.

•Maximum transmission distance from your thermos-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).

WHERE TO I PLACE MY STATION?

5 | Page

Your station is designed for flexible placement on a desk or countertop, or to position on the

wall.

•Position within reach of an outlet that is always active. Some outlets in living rooms and

in bedrooms may only be active when the light switch is on.

•This station must operate with the 5 volt power cord in order to receive sensor updates

and/or to update Wi-Fi data when connected. Operation on battery power will only

maintain time/date settings if you need to move your station.

•The best reception occurs when only one wall is between your station and each sensor

outside.

•Position you station six feet from other electronics and wireless devices. If you suspect RF

(radio frequency) interference, simply move your weather station a few feet.

WHAT IS DISTANCE | RESISTANCE | INTERFERENCE?

Distance:

•The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 400 feet (121.92 meters) between

each sensor and your station.

•Consider the signal path from your station to each sensor as a straight line.

•Consider the distance the station is from other electronics in the home.

Resistance:

•Each obstacle: walls, windows, vegetation, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects will

reduce the effective signal range by about one-half.

•Mounting your sensors on a metal fence can significantly reduce the effective signal

range.

Interference:

•Consider electronics in the signal path between the sensors and your station.

•Simple relocation of the sensors or the station may correct an interference issue.

•Windows can reflect the radio signal.

•Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.

•Stucco held to the wall by a metal mesh will cause interference.

•Transmitting antennas from: ham radios, emergency dispatch centers, airports, military

bases, etc. may cause interference.

•Electrical wires, utilities, cables, etc. may create interference if too close.

READINGS: HOW DO I INTERPRET THE CURRENT WIND READINGS?

•Wind Speed - is the highest current wind speed at the last record.

•Top Speed – is the highest wind speed reading in the past hour.

Standalone station: When not connected you will see the 24HR wind speed next to the

6 | Page

1HR wind speed.

Connected Station: When station is synced to the La Crosse View™ App, the 24HR wind speed

will forecast Wind Direction.

HOW DO I INTERPRET THE WIND HISTORY READINGS?

In addition to the one hour history which is constantly shown on the station, you can view

wind speed history at 24 hours, 7 days, current month, and current year.

Press and release the WIND button to toggle through the Wind Speed History times.

oOne Hour - Past 60 minute period (default Top Speed record, always shown)

•24 Hour – 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.

•7 Days - Shows the top speed in the past 7 days from the last record. This is a rolling 7

day period, not a Monday through Sunday record. Updates at midnight each day.

•Month – Shows top wind speed for the current month. The record is from the first day

of the month to the last day of the month. When in the middle of the month, it will show

the readings from the first day of the month to the last full day. Example: If today is the

15th of the month, the top speed is from the 1st to the 14th. After midnight, the 15th will

be included.

Note: Press and release the PLUS button to view up to 11 previous months.

•Year – Shows top wind speed for the current year. January 1, through December 31st.

HOW DO I RESET THE WIND HISTORY READINGS?
