TX10U Rain Sensor
The TX10U rain sensor is used in conjunction with the TX15U wind
sensor and TX8U temperature/ humidity sensor to gather and transmit
information to the wireless weather station. The TX15U wind sensor
measures the wind speed and direction and sends the information to
the TX8U temperature/ humidity sensor. This sensor then transmits all
outdoor weather information from the three outdoor sensors to the
display indoors.

SETTING UP
BATTERY INSTALLATION
The first step to powering up the weather station is to insert the
connector (RJ11) at the end of the wire attached to the wind speed
sensor to the remote temperature/humidity sensor. Please ensure
when doing this that the connector is inserted with the proper
orientation. When seated properly you will hear the connector ‘click’ in
place.
A. REMOTE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY
1. Remove the mounting bracket and humidity hood.
2. Remove the battery cover by sliding the cover down.
3. Observing the correct polarity install 2 AA batteries.
The batteries will fit tightly (to avoid start-up problems
make sure they do not spring free).
4. Replace the battery cover by sliding upwards. Be
sure battery cover is on securely.
5. Replace the humidity hood.
B. INDOOR WEATHER STATION
1. Remove the battery cover. To do this, insert a solid
object in the space provided at the lower-central
position of the battery cover, then push up and pull
out on the battery cover.
2. Observe the correct polarity, and install 3 AA
batteries.
3. Replace the battery cover.

C. RAINFALL SENSOR (optional)
The optional Rain Sensor does not need batteries to operate. Simply
insert the telephone plug (RJ-11) of the rain sensor into the receptacle
on the remote temperature/humidity sensor.
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
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.
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
4
source for all of this weather station’s memory values using time and
date information.
MOUNTING THE RAIN SENSOR
For accurate results, the rain sensor should be securely mounted onto
a horizontal surface about 2-3ft above the ground and in an open area
away from trees or other coverings where rainfall may be reduced
causing inaccurate readings.
When securing into place, check that rain excess will not collect and
store at the base of the unit but can flow out between the base and the
mounting surface (test by pouring clean water).
After mounting the rain sensor, connect the cable to the thermo-hygro
sensor at the corresponding socket so power supply can be received
and data be transmitted to the base station

p
ortion
The rain sensor is now operable. For testing purposes, very slowly
pour a small amount of clean water into the rain sensor funnel. The
water will act as rainfall and will be received and displayed at the base

station after about 2 minutes delay i.e. when the reading interval is
reached.
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.
