SETUP

Set the A-B-C Switch

The A-B-C switch is located inside

the battery compartment. It can be

set to A, B or C. However, you must

select the same letter choices for

both the sensor and the display unit

in order for the units to synchronize.

Install or Replace Batteries

AcuRite recommends high quality

alkaline or lithium batteries for the

best product performance. Heavy

duty or rechargeable batteries are

not recommended.

The 3-in-1 sensor requires lithium

batteries in low temperature

conditions. Cold temperatures can

cause alkaline batteries to function

improperly. Use lithium batteries in

the 3-in-1 sensor for temperatures

below -4ºF / -20ºC.

1. Press the release lever and pull

off the lower housing of the

sensor.

2. Remove the battery compartment

cover. Take note of the A-B-C

switch setting inside the battery

compartment for step 2.

3. Insert 4 x AA batteries into the

battery compartment, as shown.

Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram

in the battery compartment.

4. Replace the battery cover and

lower housing of the sensor.

as shown. Follow the polarity

(+/-) diagram in the battery

compartment.

3. Replace the battery cover.

PLEASE DISPOSE OF OLD OR DEFECTIVE BATTERIES IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE

WAY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

BATTERY SAFETY: Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Remove batteries from equipment which is not to be

used for an extended period of time. Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery compartment. Promptly remove dead batteries from the device. Dispose of used

batteries properly. Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended are to be used. DO NOT incinerate used batteries. DO NOT dispose of batteries in ﬁre,

as batteries may explode or leak. DO NOT mix old and new batteries or types of batteries (alkaline/standard). DO NOT use rechargeable batteries. DO NOT recharge

non-rechargeable batteries. DO NOT short-circuit the supply terminals.

Atomic Clock

AcuRite atomic clocks use a radio-controlled signal to synchronize to the correct time

broadcast by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Radio Station

WWVB, located near Fort Collins, Colorado. WWVB broadcasts the current time and

date with split-second accuracy.

This AcuRite atomic clock and calendar will maintain the correct time and date,

and automatically update for daylight saving time to provide the most accurate

timekeeping standard possible.

Please note: The atomic signal generally takes a few hours to synchronize, so it is

important to manually set the time and date after powering on the display.

Set the Time & Date

Press AND HOLD the “SET” button for 5 seconds to enter SET MODE. Once in set

mode, the preference you are currently setting will blink on the display.

To adjust the currently selected (ﬂashing) item, press the “ + ” button (press and

HOLD to fast adjust).

To save your adjustments, press and release the “SET” button again to adjust the next

preference. The preference set order is as follows:

TIME ZONE (PST MST CST EST)

DST (Daylight Saving Time ON OR OFF)

CLOCK HOUR

CLOCK MINUTE

CALENDAR YEAR

CALENDAR MONTH

CALENDAR DATE

You will automatically exit SET MODE if no buttons are pressed for 30 seconds. Enter

basic setup mode at any time by pressing and holding the “SET” button.

Select Measurement Units

To select between U.S. standard units or imperial units, press the “SCALE” button.

Please note: The “WIND SPEED” history chart only displays data in “mph”.

Measurement U.S. Standard Units Imperial Units

Temperature Degrees Fahrenheit (ºF) Degrees Celsius (ºC)

Barometric Pressure inHg (inches of mercury) hPa (Hectopascal)

Wind Speed Miles per hour (mph) Kilometers per hour (kph)

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 or is wall-mountable.

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. Make sure the sensor is level using

a bubble level.

4. Fasten mounting base to a post or

railing using 2 screws.

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.

3. Make sure the sensor is level using a

bubble level.

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.
