Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper

placement of both the display and the 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. To ensure

accurate temperature measurement, place out of direct sunlight

and away from heat sources or vents. Display stands upright for

tabletop use.

3-in-1 Sensor Placement

The 3-in-1 sensor is designed to remain outdoors all year long.

Choose an open location with no obstructions above or around the

sensor for the most accurate measurements.

Important Placement Guidelines

Display and sensor must be within 330 feet (100 m) of each other.

MAXIMIZE WIRELESS RANGE

Place units away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other

objects that may limit wireless communication.

PREVENT WIRELESS INTERFERENCE

Place both units at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV,

computer, microwave, radio, etc.).

LOCATE AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES

Position sensor away from heaters, air conditioners, chimneys, exhaust vents,

asphalt and concrete (surfaces that radiate heat).

LOCATE AWAY FROM HUMIDITY SOURCES

Avoid installing the sensor near pools, spas, or other bodies of water. Water

sources may impact humidity accuracy.

LOCATE AWAY FROM SPRINKLER HEADS

DO NOT install the sensor where it will be sprayed by a sprinkler system. This

may force water inside the sensor.

LOCATE AWAY FROM WIND OBSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT mount the sensor with obstructions around it.

Consider a location that is a wide open area, with few

structures around to ensure accurate wind speed measurement.

3-in-1 Sensor Installation Guidelines

INSTALLATION HEIGHT Mount the sensor at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 meters)

off the ground, in an open area. Higher is better for wind measurements - the

National Weather Service recommends 33 feet high!

MOUNTING OPTIONS The included mounting bracket it designed to screw directly

onto wooden posts or surfaces that are 2x4 or larger. The sensor can also be

mounted directly to common 3/4”

steel pipe (available at hardware

stores and home centers).

LEVEL INSTALLATION Use a

bubble level (not included) to ensure

level installation for accurate wind

measurement.

Top or Side Mount

1. Insert the mounting base into the

hole on the bottom of the sensor.

2. Use one of the screws included

in the hardware bag to fasten

the lower sensor housing to the

mounting base.

3. Fasten mounting base to a post or railing

using 2 screws.

Pipe Mount

1. Insert pipe or similar item all the way into

the hole on the bottom of the sensor. Note:

Mounting base is not used.

Pipe Mount

Do not install during

electrical storms.

Do not place pipe

or sensor near

electrical lines or

electrical equipment.

2. Use one of the screws included in the

hardware bag to fasten the lower sensor housing securely to the pipe.

The 3-in-1 sensor is now ready to use.

Basic Setup is Complete

The 3-in-1 sensor will now synchronize with the display. It may take a few minutes

for synchronization to complete. If both or one of the units appear to be functioning

improperly, please refer to the troubleshooting section.
