1.0 Set Up

1.1. Installing Batteries and Magnets:

1.1.1. IMPORTANT: Set up sensors first. Install batteries into receiver only when all sensors have been operating

for at least ten minutes. Failure to do this may result in poor reception. If this occurs, remove batteries and

magnets for at least one minute and follow set up instructions.

1.1.2. Plug the PC Interface into the computer

1.1.3. Install the program by inserting the CD and following instructions (if program does not automatically run,

double-click D:/Setup.exe)

1.2. Test Mode: After installing batteries and magnets in the sensors and receiver, they will go into test mode. During

this time, no buttons should be pressed.

1.2.1. The display on your computer will cycle through the indoor temperature, humidity and pressure, outdoor

temperature and humidity, rainfall amount, and wind speed/direction. At first, the cycle will last for only a few

seconds on each display. During this time, it is recommended that you place the sensors in desired locations

to assure reception.

1.2.2. After several successful cycles, the receiver will display each reading for one minute. Once all data has been

received, usually after ten minutes, you may end the test mode. It will automatically end after 30 minutes.

1.3. Calibration (To be done after the completion of the test mode—approximately 10 minutes.)

1.3.1. Select File Calibr. to enter the calibration mode. (“Calibration” is displayed)

1.3.2. “0000” is displayed under the air pressure display

1.3.2.1. Choose the unit of measurement; inHg or hPa (millibars)

1.3.2.2. Set the height (in meters) above sea level. The WS2010PC shows absolute pressure. To measure

relative pressure, the height above sea level needs to be set. Multiply feet by .305 to get meters.

1.3.3. “370” is displayed under the rainfall display

1.3.3.1. This is the “Rain-volume-measurement”. This normally doesn’t need to be adjusted. See instruction

manual (4.2) for directions.

1.3.3.2. Choose the unit of measurement--inches or mm.

1.3.4. Time & Date Setting:

1.3.4.1. Set the time and date

1.3.5. A “7” is displayed in the indoor temperature, wind speed and rainfall displays

1.3.5.1. These should always be set to “7” unless there happens to be two WS2010PC in operation near one

another (i.e. a neighbor has a WS2010PC). If this is the case, please call La Crosse Technology for

directions. If the number is not “7”, information from that sensor will not be displayed.

1.3.5.2. Select °F to °C.

1.4. Normal Operation: Press the Store key to return to normal operation. If no button is pressed for one minute, the

display will return to the normal operating mode. The Weather Station is now operational. If any problems

occur, see section 6 of the instruction manual.
