SETUP

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 unit.

Display Placement

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

stands upright for tabletop use and is wall-mountable.

Important Placement Guidelines

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

and away from any heat sources or vents.

• Display and sensor(s) must be within 330 feet (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 units at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from

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

menu, you can view records, set alarms, setup an additional sensor and more.

1. Records

Access the “Records” sub-menu to view high and low values recorded

for each location by date and view trends for the sensor’s readings on a

graphic chart.

2. Alarms

Access the “Alarms” sub-menu to set and edit alarm values, including

temperature, humidity, wind speed and rainfall. The display also includes

an alarm clock feature (time alarm) and storm alarm (activated when

barometric pressure drops).

3. Setup

4. Display

Access the “Display” sub-menu to adjust display settings (brightness, contrast,

tint), display mode (screen cycle) and backlight (auto dim, sleep mode).

When auto dim mode is activated in display setup, the backlight automatically

dims the brightness based on the time of day. When “Sleep Mode” is

activated, the display automatically dims during the timeframe you choose

and shows only the most important readings for at-a-glance viewing.

5. Connections

Access the “Connections” sub-menu to add, remove or view information

about a sensor, or enable Wi-Fi setup.

6. Units

Access the “Units” sub-menu to change measurement units for barometric

pressure, temperature, wind speed, rainfall and distance.

7. Calibrate

Access the “Calibrate” sub-menu to adjust display or sensor data. First,

select the display or sensor for which you wish to calibrate readings.

Second, select the reading you wish to calibrate. Lastly, follow the on-screen

prompts to adjust the value.

Access the “Factory Reset” sub-menu to revert the display back to factory

defaults. Follow the on-screen prompts to perform the reset.

Weather Forecast

While connected to Wi-Fi, weather forecasts for today and tomorrow are

downloaded from Dark Sky. Dark Sky is one of the most accurate sources of

hyperlocal weather information. It is backed by a wide range of weather data

sources, which are aggregated together to provide the most accurate forecast

possible for a given location. With down-to-the-minute forecasts, you’ll know

exactly when conditions will change so you can plan your day.

If the weather station is not connected to Wi-Fi, the forecast is generated

using data from the outdoor sensor. 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 self-calibrated pressure is

tuned in to your location and the unit is ready for superior weather prediction.

AUTO DIM MODE: Automatically adjusts display brightness based on time of day.

6:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. = 100% brightness

9:01 p.m. - 5:59 a.m.= 15% brightness

Moon Phase

The moon phase is displayed between 7:00 p.m. to 5:59 a.m. when conditions

allow for moon visibility. The phases of the moon are conveyed through simple

lunar phase icons:
