Lightning Sensor Installation Guidelines
False Detection
This Lightning Sensor features advanced technology to
distinguish between lightning strikes and interference,
however in rare cases the Lightning Sensor may "false
detect" lightning activity due to interference. In these
situations, verify there is no lightning in the area and then
relocate the Lightning Sensor. If the false detections persist,
identify and relocate the source of interference or relocate
the Lightning Sensor.
Interference
The Lightning Sensor features enhanced interference
rejection capabilities to prevent false lightning detection.
When the Lightning Sensor cannot detect lightning due to
interference from nearby equipment, the Lightning Sensor's
interference indicator will flash.
• Electric motors (windshield wiper motor or fan motors
in cars, hard drive and optical drive motors on your PC
and AV equipment, well pumps, sump pumps)
• CRT monitors (PC monitors, TVs)
• Fluorescent light fixtures (turned off or on)
• Microwave ovens (while in use)
• Personal computers and mobile phones
WARNING:
Take shelter IMMEDIATELY when lightning is present, whether
or not it has been detected by the Lightning Sensor. If you are
concerned about lightning strikes, follow all safety precautions
to keep yourself and others safe. DO NOT rely on this Lightning
Sensor as your only source for warnings about potentially
deadly lightning strikes or other severe weather conditions.
STEP 5
Placement for Maximum Accuracy
CRAFTSMAN sensors are sensitive to surrounding
environmental conditions. Proper placement of the Indoor
Display, Wireless Outdoor Sensor and Lightning Sensor is
critical to the accuracy and performance of this product.
Indoor Display Placement
Place the Indoor Display in a dry area free of dirt and dust.
Indoor Display stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-
mountable.
Wireless Outdoor Sensor Placement
The Wireless Outdoor Sensor is designed to remain outdoors
all year long. Choose an open location with no obstructions
above or around the Wireless Outdoor Sensor for the most
accurate measurements.
Lightning Sensor Placement
Lightning Sensor must be placed outside to observe
outdoor conditions. Lightning Sensor is water resistant and
is designed for general outdoor use, however, to extend its
life place the Lightning Sensor in an area protected from
direct weather elements.
Hang the Lightning Sensor using the integrated hanger,
or by using string (not included) to hang it from a suitable
location, like a well covered tree branch. The best location
is 4 to 8 feet above the ground with permanent shade and
plenty of fresh air to circulate around the Lightning Sensor.
Important Placement Guidelines
• Indoor Display, Wireless Outdoor Sensor and Lightning
Sensor must be within 330 feet (100 meters) of each
other
• Place units away from large metallic items, thick walls,
metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless
communication.
• Place units at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronic
devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).
• Position sensors away from heaters, air conditioners,
chimneys, exhaust vents, asphalt and concrete (surfaces
that radiate heat).
• Avoid installing the sensors near pools, spas, or other
bodies of water. Water sources may impact humidity
accuracy.
• DO NOT install the sensors where it will be sprayed by a
sprinkler system. This may force water inside the sensor.
• DO NOT mount the sensors with obstructions around
it. Consider a location that is a wide open area, with
few structures around to ensure accurate wind
measurement.

• Re-add Wireless Outdoor Sensor to Indoor Display by accessing the “Sensors” sub-menu (see page 10).
Outdoor temperature
and/or humidity is
flashing or showing
dashes
Flashing of the outdoor temperature and/or humidity is generally an indication of wireless interference.
1. Bring the Wireless Outdoor Sensor indoors and remove at least one battery. Remove the power adapter from the Indoor
Display.
2. Reinstall the battery into the Lightning Sensor.
3. Reinstall the power adapter into the Indoor Display.
4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other for a few minutes to gain a strong connection.
Inaccurate temperature or
humidity
Make sure the Lightning Sensor is placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents (see page 9).
Inaccurate wind readings • What is wind reading being compared to? Pro weather stations are typically mounted at 30 ft (9 m) high or more. Make
sure to compare data using a sensor positioned at the same mounting height.
• Check location of the Wireless Outdoor Sensor. Ensure it’s mounted a minimum of 5 ft (1.5 m) in the air with no
obstructions around it (within several feet).
• Ensure wind cups are spinning freely. If they hesitate or stop try lubricating with graphite powder or spray lubricant.
Inaccurate forecast • Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours, not current conditions.
• Allow unit to run continuously for 33 days. Removing power (adapter and back-up batteries) or resetting the Indoor
Display will restart Learning Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be fairly accurate, however Learning Mode calibrates
for a total of 33 days.
Interference Indicator is
flashing
• Relocate the Lightning Sensor.
• Make sure the Lightning Sensor is placed at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronics that may cause interference (see
page 9).
TROUBLESHOOTING
13
CALIBRATION
The rain gauge on the Wireless Outdoor Sensor can be calibrated to improve accuracy.
CAUTION: If the sensor is mounted out of arm's reach with a ladder it would be best to perform the calibration on a level
surface that is not out of arm's reach.
Items Needed: Wireless Outdoor Sensor, Indoor Display, plastic cup, pin, screw driver
1. First, ensure Wireless Outdoor Sensor is perfectly level using built-in bubble level.
2. Place Indoor Display close so you can monitor it during calibration.
3. Make a pin hole in the bottom of a plastic cup. Hold the cup over the rain gauge and fill it with exactly 1 cup (8oz)
of water, allowing the water to drip into the rain gauge. You should hear the internal buckets tip and see water drain
through the rain gauge.
4. A few seconds after each bucket tip, the Indoor Display displays rainfall in approximately 0.01” (.25 mm) or more
increments.
5. The cup of water should take more than 20 minutes to empty; a quicker period will result in inaccurate calibration. Try to
simulate a normal steady rainfall. When cup is empty of water, Indoor Display should register 1.06” (27 mm).
Tips
• There should be nearly an equal number of water drops (about 25 water drops) between bucket tips. If not, adjust the
calibration screws on the bottom of the Wireless Outdoor Sensor until an equal number of water drops are tipping the
buckets. Then, restart the calibration procedure.
• If you don’t hear the buckets tipping and see water dripping alternately out of each drain, there may be an issue with the
rain gauge or it’s adjustment. See Troubleshooting on page 16.
Adjustment
If the rain gauge doesn’t register close to 1.06” (27 mm), make an EQUAL adjustment to the two calibration screws on the
bottom of the Wireless Outdoor Sensor. Turning screws clockwise increases rainfall; counter clockwise decreases rainfall.
• To adjust the rainfall reading by 2% turn both screws 1/8 of a turn.
• To adjust the rainfall reading by 4% turn both screws 1/4 of a turn.
• To adjust the rainfall reading by 8% turn both screws 1/2 of a turn.
