How do I change the batteries in my sensors without losing data?
We designed this station for convenience, so that a simple change of batteries does not lose data or require you to power down your station.
• 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. Hold the PLUS (+) button for 3 seconds and your station will search for your individual sensor.
• When changing the batteries in the station, continue using the power cord. After replacing the batteries, no other action is needed. The batteries in the station only maintain time/date in the event of a power outage.
What are the barcodes and ID numbers on my sensors and my station?
• Did you know that your sensors will “lock” into your station?
• This ensures that the sensor readings are from your sensor and not a neighbors’.
• When you press and release your SENSOR button you will see your Station ID, your Thermo-Hygro sensor ID, your Wind Speed sensor ID and your Rain sensor ID.
Note: If you have Extra Sensors connected to you station you will also see these ID’s.
• The sensor ID on the station should match your first six numbers on the barcode of that sensor.
• These sensors will remain locked to your station until you manually delete them.
• The barcodes are also important identifiers for the La Crosse View™ app if you choose to connect.
How do I delete sensor ID numbers?
In the rare event you need to replace your sensor, you will first need to delete the old sensor ID from your station.
1. Remove batteries from your old sensor.
2. Press and release the SENSOR button to view your sensor ID number.
3. While viewing your sensor ID, hold the (-) button for 5 seconds to delete your old sensor ID. Dashes will show for the ID number.
4. Your station will automatically begin searching for the new sensor.
5. Install batteries in your new sensor and allow up to three minutes for your new sensor readings and ID to appear on your station.
How do I factory reset my station?
• A factory reset will delete all sensor ID numbers and if connected, remove all Wi-Fi connections.
• Basically this is a great way to return your station to “out of the box” condition.
• This is more effective than removing all power for clearing out the station.
• All history records will be removed, so write down anything you want to keep.
To factory reset your station:
1. Hold the RAIN and LIGHT buttons together for 5 seconds.
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.
Why am I going through batteries quickly?
• Test a new set of batteries. Write down the date of installation and the voltage of the batteries.
• When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again. This is helpful in determining the problem.
• Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the sensor.
How do I change between Fahrenheit and Celsius?
• On your sensor, open the battery cover and press the F/C button. This will change the temperature display on the sensor only.
• On your station enter the program menu to select Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature display on the station.
