Lacrosse Weather Station How-to and Troubleshooting Guide

Lacrosse weather stations are known for their reliability when monitoring multiple parameters, and durability to withstand the surrounding elements.

But, just like any other technologically advanced equipment and devices, sometimes they may act up, or prove difficult to operate. This is a how-to and troubleshooting guide to some of the issues facing users with these weather stations.

How to Factory Reset a Lacrosse Weather Station

Factory resetting returns the weather station and remote sensor to an “out of the box” default state. To factory restart;

• Remove all power (AC and batteries) from the remote sensor and the weather station.
• Press one of the weather stations’ buttons at least 20 times to clear the memory.
• Verify your weather station is blank before proceeding.
• Leave both units without power for 15 minutes.
• Insert the AC power into the weather station and fresh batteries into the remote sensor.
• On the remote sensor, press the TX button to transmit the RF signal and keep it 5-10 feet from the weather station.

How long does the learning mode last on a Lacrosse weather station?

The Lacrosse weather station learns over time for more accurate forecasts.

It takes about 3-4 weeks for barometer calibration to generate an accurate forecast. As the weather station builds memory, it will compare the average pressure to the past 40-day average pressure for better accuracy.
