Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper

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

performance of this product.

Display Unit Placement

Place the display unit 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 unit 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 unit 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 least 5 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground

(higher is better for wind measurement) in an open area. Secure to fence post, 2”x4”

wood, 3/4” pole, etc. (not included)

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.

Top Mount Side Mount

Pole Mount

Do not install during

electrical storms.

Do not place pole

or sensor near

electrical lines or

electrical equipment.

Pole Mount

1. Insert pole (we recommend 3/4” schedule

40 PVC / 25.8 mm O.D., not included)

or similar item all the way into the hole on

the bottom of the sensor. Note: Mounting

base is not used.

2. Use one of the screws included in the

hardware bag to fasten the lower sensor

housing securely to the pole.

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 unit. 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.
