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 or is wall-mountable.

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 (.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV, computer,

microwave, radio, etc.).

Using the Professional Weather Center

Learning Mode

Self-Calibrating Forecasting use a unique algorithm to analyze changes in

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

After 14 days, the Learning Mode 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.

Weather Forecast

AcuRite’spatentedSelf-CalibratingForecastingprovidesyourpersonalforecast

of weather conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours by collecting data from

the sensor in your backyard. It generates a forecast with pinpoint accuracy -

personalized for your exact location.

If your AcuRite product does not operate properly after trying

the troubleshooting steps, visit www.AcuRite.com or call

(877) 221-1252 for assistance.

Problem Possible Solution

Inaccurate

temperature or

humidity

• Make sure both the display and 5-in-1 sensor are

placed away from any heat sources or vents

(see page 7).

• Make sure both units are positioned away from

moisture sources (see page 7).

• Make sure 5-in-1 sensor is mounted at least 5 ft off of

the ground.

• Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature and

humidity (see page 11).

No rainfall

• Check to ensure the rain gauge stabilizer (plastic tab)

has been removed from the bottom of the sensor.

• Clear debris, such as leaves, out of the rain collector

funnel and debris screen.

• Calibrate the rain gauge (see sensor manual).

Inaccurate wind

readings

• What is wind reading being compared to? Pro

weather stations are typically mounted at 30 ft high

or more. Make sure to compare data using a sensor

positioned at the same mounting height.

•Checklocationofthesensor.Ensureit’smounteda

minimum of 5 ft 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.

Display screen

not working

• Check that the power adapter is plugged into the

display and an electrical outlet.

• Reset the display by pressing and holding the CLEAR

ALL/RESET button for 10 seconds, located in the

battery compartment of the display. Date and time

will need to be entered after a reset.
