triangular arrow that points to the hour printed on the perimeter of the LCD  
screen, which corresponds to the local-time hour. The four options affect how the  
minutes are displayed. The hour-arrow and the minute-dots encompass the  
outermost perimeter of the LCD screen. When this mode is being set, a “clock-  
face” icon will be shown in the DATE DISPLAY. The Graphic Time Display  
Options are as follows:  
Option 1: The hour-arrow points and flashes to an hour that corresponds with the  
current local time. The minute-dots will line the perimeter of the LCD screen.  
The minutes that have past will remain (not flashing) on the screen, but the current  
minute will flash in a minute position that corresponds to the minute of the local  
time.  
Option 2: The hour-arrow points and flashes to an hour that corresponds with the  
current local time. The minute-dot will flash in a minute position that corresponds  
to the minute of the local time.  
Option 3: Appears on the screen to be the same as Option 2, except the hour-  
arrow and the minute-dot do not flash.  
Option 4: The hour-arrow points and flashes to an hour that corresponds with the  
current local time. The minute-dots will start at zero, and count up by fives until

FEATURES  
I. ABOUT WWVB (Radio Controlled Time)  
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and  
Frequency Division) WWVB radio station is located in FT. Collins, Colorado,  
and transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at  
60 kHz. The signal can be received from up to 2,000 miles away through the  
internal antenna in the Weather Center. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s  
Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The Weather Center  
will search for a signal every night, when reception is best. The WWVB radio  
station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. A  
team of atomic physicists continually measure every second, or every day, to an  
accuracy of ten billionths of a second a day, creating an international standard,  
measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a  
vacuum. This Weather Center regulates the WWVB sensor.  
II. WEATHER FORECAST  
The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate, basing the  
weather forecast solely upon the change of air-pressure over time. The  
WS-8010U averages past air-pressure readings to provide an accurate forecast—  
creating a necessity to disregard all weather forecasting for 12-24 hours after the  
Weather Center has been set-up, reset, or moved from one altitude to another (i.e.  
from one floor of a building to another floor).  
A. WEATHER ICONS  
There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed in the FORECAST  
DISPLAY:  
Sunny—indicates that the weather is expected to improve (not that the weather  
will be sunny).  
Sun with Clouds—indicates that the weather is expected to be fair (not that the  
weather will be sunny with clouds).  
Clouds with Rain—indicates that the weather is expected to get worse (not that  
the weather will be rainy).  
The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air pressure. The  
icons change in order, from “sunny” to “sun with clouds” to “clouds with rain,”  
or the reverse. It will not change from “sunny” directly to “clouds with rain,”  
10  
 
although it is possible for the change to occur quickly. If the symbols do not  
change then the weather has not changed, or the change has been slow and  
gradual.  
B. WEATHER TENDENCY ARROWS  
There are 2 weather tendency arrows, one appearing on each side of the Weather  
Icons. One tendency arrow points up (on the left side of the Display) and one  
points down (on the right side of the Display). These arrows reflect current  
changes in the air pressure. An arrow pointing up indicates that the air pressure  
is increasing and the weather is expected to improve or remain fair, an arrow  
pointing down indicates that the air pressure is decreasing and the weather is  
expected to become worse or remain poor. No arrow means the pressure is  
stable.  
III. ADDING MORE SENSORS (optional)  
The WS-8010U can receive signals from up to three Sensors. The Sensor  
model(s) that you choose will come with their own set of instructions—follow  
those instructions for a complete guide to setting up. Following are some brief  
instructions for the basic set-up of additional sensors with the WS-8010U.  
Additional sensors can be purchased through the same dealer as this Weather  
Center, or by contacting La Crosse Technology directly (contact information can  
be found at the end of this manual). A TX4U will monitor temperature and  
humidity (it is the same model that comes with the WS-8010U), a TX3U will  
monitor temperature only, and the TX3UP monitors temperature via a 10 foot  
probe for use in pools, spas, etc. The TX3 units do not monitor humidity, thus  
when they transmit their information to the Weather Center dashes “- -” appear in  
the Humidity Display.  
Note: When setting up multiple sensors it is important to remove the batteries  
from all existing units in operation, then to insert batteries first into all the  
sensors, and in numeric sequence. Second install batteries into the Weather  
Center. Transmission problems will arise if this is not done correctly and if the  
total time for set-up exceeds 6 minutes.  
SET-UP OF MULTIPLE SENSORS  
Note: The first sensor signal that the Weather Center receives is automatically  
assigned as the “boxed #1.” The 2nd to be received is the “boxed #2,” and the 3rd  
is the “boxed #3.”  
1. It is necessary to remove the batteries from all units currently in operation.  
2. Remove the battery covers to all sensor units (new and old).  
3. Place all sensors in a numeric sequential order.  
11  
 
4. In sequential order, install batteries into the sensors (follow the same battery  
installation procedures seen in section I. A).  
5. Install batteries into the Weather Center.  
6. Follow the Programming Mode instructions to program and set-up the  
Weather Center.  
B. SELECTING WHICH SENSOR DATA TO DISPLAY  
1. To view the outdoor temperature and humidity from a different sensor,  
press key #1. A shift from a “boxed #1” to a “boxed #2” should be  
observed under the DATE DISPLAY (between the Outdoor Temperature  
and Outdoor Humidity Displays).  
2. Press key #1 a second time to shift from the “boxed #2” to the “boxed #3”.  
(Information will display only if you have three sensors in operation).  
3. To view information from the first sensor again, press key #1.  
IV. DATE DISPLAY  
Note: The DATE DISPLAY defaults to the month/date/year format. This display  
area can show an alternate way of displaying the date.  
1. Press key #2. This changes the DATE DISPLAY  
from the standard month/date/year to a display  
showing the weekday/month/date.  
2. Press key #2 to change back to the original date  
Key #1

Key #2  
Key #3  
V.  
RAINFALL DISPLAY (optional)  
Note: If the Rainfall feature is opted, its information  
will display in the Date Display, in two possible configurations. To change what  
and how the information is displayed, use key #2.  
Following step 1 above:  
1. Press key #2 again to change from the DATE DISPLAY to the RAIN  
DISPLAY. “TOTAL RAIN - -.- in” is now displayed with corresponding  
measurements.  
Note: The display of “OFL” indicates that the TX4U Rainfall Gauge has  
reached 99.9 inches, and has overflowed. To reset, hold down key #2 for 3  
seconds.  
12  
 
2. Press key #2 again, and “RAIN 24h - -.- in” is displayed. This is the  
measure of the total number of inches of rainfall over a 24-hour period,  
updated daily at 7:00 am local time.  
3. To return to the standard DATE DISPLAY of month/date/year, press  
key #2.  
VI. RAIN GAUGE SET-UP (optional)  
The WS-8010U has the optional feature of adding the TX5U Rain Gauge, which  
can be purchased through the same dealer as the WS-8010U or by contacting  
La Crosse Technology directly. The rain gauge will measure rain as Total Rain in  
inches, or as 24-hour Rainfall in inches. The Rain Gauge comes with its own set  
of complete instructions, here we will briefly explain how to set-up.  
1. Remove batteries from all existing units in operation.  
2. Install batteries into all temperature sensors (as per instructions in section  
III. A under Features).  
3. Install batteries into the Rain Gauge.  
4. Install batteries into the Weather Center.  
5. Wait for proper reception (see detailed set-up in section I, B).  
6. Mount the Rain Gauge in a sturdy position, and in a position that is within  
transmission range.  
VII. MINIMUM & MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY RECORDS  
The WS-8010U keeps a record of the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM temperatures  
and humidity, and the time and date of their occurrence—for both the indoor and  
outdoor records.  
A. VIEWING THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE &  
HUMIDITY RECORDS  
1. Press key #3. The forecast icons, the outdoor temperature and humidity,  
and the current time and date are no longer displayed. “MIN” is flashing to  
the left of where the forecast icon was, the MINIMUM indoor temperature  
and humidity, the time and the date of occurrence are all shown in the LCD.  
2. Press key #3 while the MINIMUM indoor information is still displayed.  
“MAX” is now flashing to the right of where the forecast icon was, the  
MAXIMUM indoor temperature and humidity, the time and the date of  
occurrence are all shown in the LCD.  
3. Press key #3 again, while the MAXIMUM indoor information is still  
displayed. The information displayed by the LCD has now shifted from  
indoor temperature and humidity to outdoor temperature and humidity. No  
data is shown in the Indoor Displays, and “MIN” is flashing to the left of  
where the forecast icon was. The MINIMUM outdoor temperature and  
humidity, the time and the date of occurrence are all shown in the LCD.  
13  
 
4. Press key #3 while the MINIMUM outdoor temperature is still displayed.  
“MAX” is now flashing to the right of where the forecast icon was, the  
MAXIMUM outdoor temperature and humidity, the time and the date of  
occurrence are all shown in the LCD.  
5. Press key #3 to return to normal operating mode. (To exit the MINIMUM/  
MAXIMUM mode, either press key #1 or key #2, or wait for the 20-second  
automatic timeout).  
Note: The data displayed in the Outdoor MINIMUM/MAXIMUM fields are  
dependent on which sensor has been selected (if there is more than one in  
use). If a “boxed 1” is shown under the DATE DISPLAY then the  
MINIMUM/MAXIMUM information will relate to the data received by  
sensor #1. If a “boxed 2” is shown under the DATE DISPLAY then the  
MINIMUM/MAXIMUM information will relate to the data received by  
sensor #2. The same applies for a “boxed 3.” To view the  
MINIMUM/MAXIMUM temperature and humidity from different sensors, it  
is required to select a sensor before entering into the  
MINIMUM/MAXIMUM mode. To select a different sensor press key #1, the  
“boxed” number under the DATE DISPLAY will shift.  
B. RESETTING THE MINIMUM & MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE &  
HUMIDITY RECORDS  
1. Press and hold key #3 for 3 seconds. This will effectively clear the  
temperature and humidity for the indoor records, and all outdoor records for  
all sensors. The Minimum and Maximum records will be reset to current  
temperature and humidity readings.  
14  
 
MOUNTING  
Note: Before permanently mounting ensure that the Weather Center is able to receive  
WWVB signals from the desired location. Extreme and sudden changes in temperature  
will decrease the accuracy of the Weather Center, and changes in elevation will result  
with inaccurate weather forecasting for the next 12 to 24 hours. These changes will  
require a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable data. To achieve a true  
temperature reading, avoid mounting the TX4U—Remote Thermo-Hygro (or any sensor)  
where direct sunlight can reach the sensor. We recommend that you mount the sensor on  
a North-facing wall. The sending range is 80-ft (25m) however obstacles such as walls,  
concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range. Place both units in their desired  
location, and wait approximately 15 minutes before permanently mounting to ensure that  
there is proper reception. The Weather Center should display a temperature in the  
OUTDOOR DISPLAY within 5 minutes of setting up. If the Weather Center loses the  
signal from the sensor, it will display the last temperature reading for 15 minutes. After  
15 minutes of not receiving any signals the OUTDOOR DISPLAY of the Weather Center  
will display “- -.-”.  
THE TX4U—REMOTE THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR  
The TX4U—Remote Thermo-Hygro Sensor can be mounted in two ways:  
with the use of screws or,  
using the adhesive tape.  
A. MOUNTING WITH THE SCREWS  
1. Remove the mounting bracket/receptor from the packaging plastic.  
2. Place the mounting bracket over the desired mounting surface. Through the  
2 screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil.  
3. Where marked, start the screw holes using the provided screws. Remove  
screws from the mounting surface.  
4. Align the mounting bracket with the started screw holes.  
5. Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. The screws should be  
flush with the bracket.  
15  
 
6. Fit the mounting post (on the back of the sensor) into the receptor of the  
mounting bracket.  
B. MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE  
1. With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back of the mounting bracket  
and the mounting surface to ensure a secure hold. The mounting surface  
should be smooth and flat.  
2. Remove the protective strip from one side of the tape. Press firmly onto the  
designated area on the back of the mounting bracket.  
3. Remove the protective strip from the other side of the tape, and situate the  
mounting bracket. Firmly press the mounting bracket onto the mounting  
surface.  
4. Fit the mounting post into the receptor of the mounting bracket.  
II. THE WEATHER CENTER  
1. Using a straightedge, horizontally mark 3 screw positions with a pencil.  
The screw positions should be spaced 3 5/8 of an inch (94mm).  
2. Install 3 mounting screws (not included) into a wall within range, leaving  
approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.  
3. Place the Weather Center onto the screws, using the hanging holes on the  
backside. Gently pull the Weather Center down to lock the screws into  
place.
