WS-2310-15 Wind Sensor
The WS-2310-15 wind sensor is used in conjunction with the WS-2310-16 rain sensor and WS-
2310-25 temperature/ humidity sensor to gather and transmit information to the WS-2300 series
wireless weather station. The WS-2310-15 wind sensor measures the wind speed and direction
and sends the information to the WS-2310-25 temperature/ humidity sensor. This sensor then
transmits all outdoor weather information from the three outdoor sensors to the display indoors.

SETTING UP
First, choose to use the adaptor (included in this set) or batteries for operation. Both these
methods allow for operation using wireless 433MHz transmission or cable connection between
the base station and the sensors and setting up for both methods is as follows:
Base Station:
Battery compartment
Socket for
Thermo-Hygro
Sensor
Socket for
Adaptor
PC COM
Port
Setting up using batteries:
Important: To avoid operating problems, please take note of battery polarity if inserting any
batteries. Also do not press any buttons after start up until all sensor information has
been displayed and the radio controlled time has set. Doing so may interrupt
communication between the sensors and display or interrupt the WWVB time
reception.
1) Pull away the rain cover of the thermo-hygro sensor to reveal the
three sockets (for the wind sensor, rain sensor and the base
station)
2) Connect the attached cables of wind and rain sensors to the
corresponding sockets of the thermo-hygro sensor by clicking
them into place
3) Open the battery cover of the thermo-hygro sensor located
below the three sockets and insert 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V
batteries and close the cover
4) Open the base station’s battery cover located at the back of the
unit and insert 3 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries into the battery
compartment and close the battery cover
Setting up using the AC adaptor:
1) Power up all the sensors as described in setting up using batteries above
2) Using the AC adaptor (included), plug it into the mains outlet and power up the base
station by inserting the adaptor jack into the DC 6.0V socket located on the side of the
base station
Every time the thermo-hygro sensor is powered up (for example after a change of batteries), a
random security code is transmitted and this code must be synchronized with the base station to
receive weather data.
When the base station is powered up, a short beep will sound and all LCD segments will light up
for about 5 seconds before it enters into a 15 minute learning mode to learn the sensors security
code. After the learning mode (or by pressing the MIN/MAX key at anytime), the base station will
start the WWVB radio controlled time reception.
Note for WWVB Radio Controlled Time:
The time and date display is based on the signal provided by the highly accurate government
operated atomic clock in Ft. Collins, Colorado. This radio-controlled clock does not only provide
for the weather station’s time and date display but also functions as the time and date source for
all of this weather station’s memory and history values using time and date information.

Mounting the wind sensor onto a mast
Mast
Wind-vane
Wind-fan
First, check that the wind-fan and the wind-vane can rotate freely before mounting the unit. For
correct and accurate readings it is important to mount the sensor so that the front (marked E) is
pointing in East-West direction. The wind sensor should now be mounted using the screws
provided onto a mast to allow the wind to travel around the sensor unhindered from all directions
(ideal mast size should be from Ø.63” – Ø1.3”).
Once the wind sensor is fixed onto the mast, connect the cable to the corresponding thermo-
hygro sensor socket so that operating power can be supplied and data can be transmitted to the
base station.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
1. Extreme temperatures, vibrations, and shock should be avoided to prevent damage to the
units
2. Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents, they
may mark the displays and casings
3. Do not submerge in water.
4. Do not subject the units to unnecessary heat or cold by placing them in the oven or freezer.
5. Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair the unit. Contact La Crosse
Technology for repairs.
