PC Connect PC Connect works with PCs to provide access to your Weather Center data in the following ways: • Data File: The display logs (or stores) data so that you can download it to a CSV (comma separated values) data file on your PC. • Web Browser or Smartphone: Monitor sensor data remotely using AcuRite’s free AcuRite online software, or from a mobile device using the free AcuRite app, available from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
OPERATION 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.
Barometric Pressure Subtle variations in barometric pressure greatly affect the weather. This weather center displays the current pressure with an arrow icon to indicate the direction the pressure is trending (FALLING, STEADY, or RISING). Weather Ticker ™ The Weather Ticker automatically streams your real-time weather information and alerts as scrolling text in the lower part of the display screen. You can manually cycle through all the available messages by pressing “ button.

Troubleshooting Problem No outdoor sensor reception no bars Possible Solution •R elocate the display and/or the 5-in-1 sensor. The units must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other. •M ake sure both units are placed at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronics that may interfere with the wireless communication (such as TVs, microwaves, computers, etc). •U se standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in sensor when temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC).
Troubleshooting Problem Possible Solution Inaccurate temperature or humidity •M ake sure both the display and 5-in-1 sensor are placed away from any heat sources or vents (see page 7). •M ake sure both units are positioned away from moisture sources (see page 7). •M ake sure 5-in-1 sensor is mounted at least 5 ft off of the ground. • Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity (see page 17).
Troubleshooting Problem Possible Solution Cannot access data online or on the AcuRite mobile app • Verify under Status that data was received from the indoor display. The timestamp should update every 18-36 seconds. • Verify that you created an account or logged into an existing account at www.MyAcuRite.com or in the AcuRite app, and that you input the display’s DEVICE ID as a part of the account setup. • Verify the PC that the display is connected to is always powered ON.
Care & Maintenance Display Care Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives. Keep away from dust, dirt and moisture. Clean ventilation ports regularly with a gentle puff of air. Calibration Calibrate Temperature & Humidity The indoor / outdoor temperature and humidity readings can be calibrated on the display to improve accuracy. Calibration improves accuracy when 5-in-1 sensor placement or environmental factors impact your data accuracy. 1.

SETUP 5-in-1 Sensor Setup 1 Set the A-B-C Switch Locate the A-B-C switch inside the battery compartment. Set the A-B-C switch to A, B or C. You must select the same letter choice for both the sensor and the companion unit (not included) in order for the units to synchronize. 2 Install or Replace Batteries The 5-in-1 sensor requires lithium batteries in low temperature conditions. Cold temperatures can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly.
Placement for Maximum Accuracy AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of the sensor is critical to the accuracy and performance of this product. 5-in-1 Sensor Placement The 5-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 Sensor must be within 330 feet (100 m) of companion unit (not included).
5-in-1 Sensor Installation Guidelines INSTALLATION HEIGHT Mount the sensor at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground in an open area. Higher is better for wind measurement- the National Weather Service recommends 33 feet (10 meters) high! MOUNTING OPTIONS The included mounting bracket is designed to screw directly onto wooden posts or surfaces that are 2”x 4” or larger. The sensor can also be mounted directly to 3/4” steel pipe (available at hardware stores and home centers).
Calibrate the Rain Gauge The rain gauge on the 5-in-1 sensor can be calibrated to improve accuracy. Items Needed: 5-in-1 sensor, companion unit, plastic cup, pin, screw driver 1. First, ensure 5-in-1 sensor is perfectly level using built-in bubble level. 2. Use compatible companion unit or AcuRite software to monitor during calibration. 3. Make a pin hole in the bottom of a plastic cup.
