Frequently Asked Questions - WS-1517 LA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY
How do I set up my La Crosse Technology WS-1517 weather station?
Insert 2 AA batteries into the outdoor sensor first, then into the main unit. The main unit will automatically search for the sensor signal. Ensure the sensor is within 330 feet (100 meters) of the main unit. Wait up to 10 minutes for synchronization.
Why is the outdoor temperature not displaying?
Check that the sensor is powered and within range. Press and hold the 'TX' button on the main unit to force a resync. If the issue persists, change the batteries in the sensor and try again.
How do I set the atomic time?
The WS-1517 automatically syncs with the WWVB atomic time signal. Place the main unit near a window facing Colorado (USA) for best reception. It may take up to 24 hours to sync initially. To manually start a sync, press and hold the 'SET' button for 3 seconds.
What do the weather icons mean?
The icons indicate a forecast based on barometric pressure trends: Sunny (rising pressure), Partly Cloudy (steady), Cloudy (falling slightly), Rainy (falling), Stormy (falling quickly). They predict conditions up to 12 hours ahead.
How do I change between °F and °C?
Press and hold the 'SET' button until the display flashes. Use the '+' or '-' buttons to toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Press 'SET' to confirm and exit.
Why is the indoor humidity reading incorrect?
Ensure the main unit is not placed near sources of moisture like kitchens or bathrooms. Allow 10 minutes for stabilization. If the reading remains off, try resetting the unit by removing batteries and inserting them again.
Can I mount the outdoor sensor outside?
Yes, the sensor is weather-resistant. Mount it in a shaded location under an eave, away from direct sunlight and rain. Use the included bracket or a standard mounting screw.
How do I replace the sensor battery?
Open the sensor compartment with a small screwdriver. Remove old batteries and insert new 2 AA alkaline batteries. Close the compartment securely. The sensor will automatically reconnect.
The time is off by an hour. How to fix?
This usually happens due to Daylight Saving Time. The unit should adjust automatically. If not, go to settings and ensure DST is set to 'ON' (press SET, then choose DST option). You can also manually adjust the time via the SET button.
What does the barometric pressure reading indicate?
Barometric pressure shows current atmospheric pressure. A rising pressure indicates improving weather, while falling pressure indicates deteriorating weather. The unit displays in hPa or inHg based on your setting.
