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.
Sensor Placement
The sensor is water-resistant and is designed for general indoor or
outdoor use, however, to extend its life place the sensor in an area
protected from direct weather elements.
Hang the sensor using the integrated hang hole or hanger, or by using
string (not included) to hang it from a suitable location, like a well covered
tree branch. The best location is 4 to 8 feet above the ground with
permanent shade and plenty of fresh air to circulate around the sensor.
Important Placement Guidelines
• To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place sensor out of direct
sunlight and away from any heat sources.
• Sensor must be within 330 ft (100 m) of companion unit (not included).
• To maximize wireless range, place sensor away from large metallic items, thick
walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication.
• To prevent wireless interference, place sensor at least 3 ft (0.9 m) away
from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).

(100 meters) from the smartHUB.
• Make sure the sensor batteries are installed
correctly. Batteries may need to be replaced.
• Make sure the smartHUB is located at least
3 feet away from "noisy" electronic devices,
including TVs and microwaves. Avoid locations
that are near large stone or concrete surfaces
and metallic surfaces.

If your AcuRite product does not operate properly after trying the troubleshooting steps,
visit www.AcuRite.com or call [phone] for assistance.
When the Network Status Light flashes rapidly
in 30 second intervals, the smartHUB cannot
establish a network (Internet) connection:
Possible Solutions:
• Make sure the Ethernet cable is firmly
connected. The cable may be defective
and need to be replaced.
• Make sure DHCP is enabled on your router.
Most routers have DHCP enabled by default.
• Check your network router settings. If MAC
address filtering security has been enabled,
your router may be ignoring the outbound
communication from the smartHUB. Consult
your network router’s instruction manual or
contact the manufacturer for more
information. NOTE: The smartHUB Device ID
is its MAC address.
• The Ethernet port on your router may be
malfunctioning. Try connecting the cable to
a different port.
