La Crosse Technology TX5U SET-UP of Multiple Sensors, Selecting Which Sensor Data to Display

A.SET-UP OF MULTIPLE SENSORS

Note: The first sensor signal that the Weather Center receives is automatically assigned as the “boxed #1.” The 2nd to be received is the “boxed #2,” and the 3rd is the “boxed #3.”

1.It is necessary to remove the batteries from all units currently in operation.

2.Remove the battery covers to all sensor units (new and old).

3.Place all sensors in a numeric sequential order.

4.In sequential order, install batteries into the sensors (follow the same battery installation procedures seen in section I. A).

5.Install batteries into the Weather Center.

6.Follow the Programming Mode instructions to program and set-up the Weather Center.

B.SELECTING WHICH SENSOR DATA TO DISPLAY

1.To view the outdoor temperature and humidity from a different sensor, press the CH/+ button. A shift from a “boxed #1” to a “boxed #2” should be observed under the “MIN” icon in LCD 6.

2.Press the CH/+ button a second time to shift from the “boxed #2” to the “boxed #3”. (Information will display only if you have three sensors in operation).

3.To view information from the first sensor again, press the CH/+ button.

MOUNTING

Note: Before permanently mounting, ensure that the Weather Center is able to receive signals from the sensors at the desired location. Extreme and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the Weather Center, and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate weather forecasting for the next 12 to 24 hours. These changes will require a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable data. To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting the TX4U—Remote Thermo-Hygro (or any sensor) where direct sunlight can reach the sensor. We recommend that you mount the sensor on a North-facing wall. The sending range of the TX4U and the TX5U is 80-ft (25m) however obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range. Place all units in their desired location, and wait approximately 15 minutes before permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. The Weather Center should display an outdoor temperature in LCD 6 within 5 minutes of setting up. If the Weather Center loses the signal from the sensor, it will display the last temperature reading for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes of not receiving any signals, LCD 6 will display “- -.-”. LCD 5 should show “0.0” within 6 minutes of receiving signals from the TX5U. If the TX5U signal is lost “--.-” will appear in LCD 5.
