TX60U-IT
La Crosse Alerts™
Temperature and Humidity ADD-ON Sensor
With Threaded Wet Probe
TX60U-IT temperature and humidity sensor measures:
(A) Ambient air temperature and humidity (Channel 1)
(B) Probe temperature (Channel 2): **Use the optional 6 Ft. detachable
temperature probe to measure water (Wet probe only), soil, air, etc.
This Stainless Steele 1/8 inch Fine Pipe Threaded Probe on a 6 foot wire allows
you to just set the probe in soil, water, etc. for measurement or secure the
probe wire with through a hole with the 1/8 inch Fine Pipe Thread, to prevent
movement.
The sensor sends the temperature and humidity measurements to your existing
La Crosse Alerts™ Gateway (not included) with a wireless range of over 200 Ft.
(60.96 m). The Gateway uses your high-speed Internet connection to upload
the temperature and humidity measurements to your included
www.lacrossealerts.com account. Once set up, you can login to your account
and view your temperature and humidity sensor(s) with an Internet-connected
mobile device, tablet or computer with a web browser.
MONITORING OPTIONS

MEASUREMENT LOG DOWNLOAD
Once the sensor is activated and building a measurement log, you can
download the data as a comma separated values (CSV) file. You must use an
application such as Microsoft Excel® or Google Docs® that supports comma
separated values (CSV) formatted files to view the table data.
IMPORTANT SETUP & OPERATION NOTES
The sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. Please avoid a
location with direct sun, as that will cause incorrect readings.
location with direct sun, as that will cause incorrect readings.
Fog and mist will not harm the sensor but direct rain must be avoided.
Note: Exposing the sensor case to extreme humidity may temporarily
disrupt data. The sensor case reads humidity, but should not be
submerged in water. **Attach a 6 ft. wet probe to measure water
temperature.

The sensor has a wireless range of 200 feet (60.96 m). Keep in mind that
the 200 ft. range equates to open air with no obstructions, and that radio
waves DO NOT curve around objects. Actual transmission range will vary
depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction (roof,
walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in
half.

walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in
half.
Metal siding, stucco, and some types of glass can reduce signal range by
as much as ¾ or more, compared to the ½ reduction typical of most
obstructions. It is possible to receive a signal through these materials,
however maximum range will be reduced due to their tendency to absorb
or reflect a much larger portion of the sensor’s signal.

The sensor measures and updates the temperature and humidity on the
LCD every 6 seconds. Note: The new measurement is reported to your
account at intervals that you select using your online account.
