Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper

placement of both the display and outdoor sensor are critical to the accuracy

and performance of this product.

Display Placement

Place the display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. Display

stands upright for tabletop use and is wall-mountable.

Outdoor Sensor Placement

Sensor must be placed outside to observe outdoor conditions.

Sensor is water resistant and is designed for general outdoor

use, however, to extend its life place the sensor in an area

protected from direct weather elements.

Hang the sensor using the integrated hang hole or 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 (1 to 2 metres) above the ground with permanent

shade and plenty of fresh air to circulate around the sensor.

Important Placement Guidelines

•To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place units out of direct

sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents.

•Display and outdoor sensor must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other.

•To maximize wireless range, place units away from large metallic items, thick

walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication.

•To prevent wireless interference, place both units at least 3 ft (90 cm) away

from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).

(330 feet)

3 feet

(90 cm)

(100 metres maximum)

Setup is Complete

The sensor will now synchronize with the display. It may take a few minutes for

synchronization to complete. Please refer to the troubleshooting section of this

manual if anything appears to be functioning improperly.

OPERATION

Using the Weather Station

Weather Forecast

Self-calibrating forecasting uses a unique algorithm to analyze changes in

pressure over a time period (called Learning Mode) to determine your altitude.

After 14 days, the icon disappears from the display screen. At this point,

the self-calibrated pressure is tuned in to your location and the unit is ready for

superior weather prediction.

Barometric Pressure

Subtle variations in barometric pressure greatly affect the weather. This

weather station displays the current pressure with an arrow icon to indicate

the direction the pressure is trending (FALLING, STEADY, or RISING).

High and Low Records

High and low records for today and all-time are displayed for indoor and

outdoor temperature and humidity. Today’s records automatically clear at

12:00am midnight every day.

Press the “ “ and ““buttons to cycle through high and low recorded

values for outdoor and indoor temperature and humidity. While viewing all-time

records, a date and timestamp are shown for when each value was recorded.

You will automatically exit records if no buttons are pressed for 8 seconds.

To manually clear a HIGH or LOW record, press and HOLD both the “ “ and

““ buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds while viewing the record(s) you wish

to clear. Dashes display to conrm you have cleared the record(s).
