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.
3-in-1 Sensor Installation Guidelines INSTALLATION HEIGHT Mount the sensor at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground, in an open area. Higher is better for wind measurements - the National Weather Service recommends 33 feet high! MOUNTING OPTIONS The included mounting bracket it designed to screw directly onto wooden posts or surfaces that are 2x4 or larger.
OPERATION Using The 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.
High & Low Records Today’s high and low records are displayed for indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity and wind speed. Today’s records automatically clear at 12:00am midnight every day. To manually clear all of today’s LOW recorded values, press and hold the “ ” button for 2 seconds. Dashes display to confirm you have cleared the LOW records. To manually clear all of today’s HIGH recorded values, press and hold the “ ” button for 2 seconds. Dashes display to confirm you have cleared the HIGH records.
Troubleshooting Problem No outdoor sensor reception no bars Possible Solution • Relocate the display and/or the 3-in-1 sensor. The units must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other. • Make 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). • Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in sensor when temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC).
Troubleshooting Problem Possible Solution Inaccurate temperature or humidity • Make sure both the display and 3-in-1 sensor are placed away from any heat sources or vents (see page 9). • Make sure both units are positioned away from moisture sources (see page 9). • Make sure 3-in-1 sensor is mounted at least 5 ft off of the ground. • Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity (see page 15).
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. 3-in-1 Sensor Care Clean the Sensor Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives.
