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.
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).
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.
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.

The rain alarm does not require a preset numerical value, but instead sounds as soon as rain is recorded. Similarly, the storm alarm sounds when a large atmospheric pressure drop occurs, which usually indicates an oncoming storm. Note: The storm alarm is NOT intended to be a safety device or warning system. Set a Weather Alarm 1. Choose the weather category for which you wish to set an alarm by pressing the “▲“ or “▼“ buttons until the category is displayed on the Selectable Category part of the display.
