Installation

Flexible Breeze Pro and rain-gauge placement

La Crosse Breeze Pro included mast, adjustable base, hand screw, alignment arrows and pole adapter

Breeze Pro placement

Mount the sensor level, with the wind cups on top and clear of nearby eaves, trees, rooflines and other wind obstructions.
Choose the highest practical open position for more representative wind readings.
Keep the solar panel exposed to strong sunlight and follow the orientation marking supplied with the exact regional sensor so wind direction is reported correctly.
Use the adjustable base on a flat or angled surface, or the pole adapter on a compatible cylindrical conduit up to approximately 25.4 mm / 1 inch in diameter.
Confirm all cup, vane, bracket and battery-compartment fasteners are secure without overtightening.

Rain-gauge placement and care

Mount the rain gauge horizontally and level in an open area, ideally more than 91 cm above the ground.
Keep the base out of depressions and leave the drainage openings unobstructed.
Periodically remove leaves, insects and dirt from the funnel and tipping rocker.
The sensor self-empties and is designed for outdoor temperatures below freezing, but it does not directly measure snowfall; melted snow entering the funnel may register as rain.

The station connects using 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi. A 5 GHz-only network is not compatible.

Open-air sensor range

The stated 122 m / 400 ft wireless range is an open-air maximum. Building materials, metal, terrain, vegetation, interference and sensor placement can reduce real-world range.

Regional wind-sensor orientation

Breeze Pro regional variants may use different orientation markings. Follow the marking and mounting instructions supplied with the actual sensor for correct wind-direction reporting.

Add-on sensor compatibility

Not every compatible La Crosse View sensor displays every reading directly on the V61. Depending on the sensor, information may appear on the station, in the app, or both.

App services and plans

Available app functions, optional subscription features and service availability can vary by region, account, app version and future service changes.

Forecasts are predictive

Standalone and Internet forecasts are estimates of future conditions and can differ from the weather experienced at the station's exact location.

Manufacturer warranty

The supplied documentation states a 1-year limited manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase for qualifying defects, subject to the applicable warranty terms.

Button-cell safety: the V61 display uses a CR2032 coin-cell backup battery. Keep new and used button batteries out of reach of children. Swallowing or inserting a button battery can cause severe internal injury and requires immediate urgent medical attention.
