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 Forecast
AcuRite’s patented Self-Calibrating Forecasting provides your personal forecast
of weather conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours by collecting data from
the sensor in your backyard. It generates a forecast with pinpoint accuracy -
personalized for your exact location.

Barometric Pressure
Subtle variations in barometric pressure greatly affect the weather. This weath-
er forecaster displays the current pressure, direction it’s trending (FALLING,
STEADY, or RISING) and a pressure chart. The chart tracks and displays the
change in pressure so you can monitor the rate of change over time.
Rainfall Event
The rainfall feature tracks rain accumulation over all-time, the current month,
and current rainfall event. Current event clears when no rain registers for 8
hours OR no rain registers for 1 hour and pressure rises by .03inhg or more.
Programmable Weather Alarms
Each Selectable Weather Category features an alarm option. When an
alarm sounds, the display unit emits an audible beep and ashes the affected
category, its alarm settings, and any other relevant data.
Some alarms can be customized to alert you when your programmed value is
reached. Alarms include: outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, wind speed,
heat index, dew point, wind chill, indoor temperature and indoor humidity.
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 atmo-
spheric pressure drop occurs, which usually indicates an oncoming storm. Note:
The storm alarm is NOT intended to be a safety device or warning system.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Solution
No outdoor sensor
reception
• Relocate the display unit and/or the 5-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). Do not
use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries. NOTE: It
may take up to 20 minutes for display unit and sensor
no bars to synchronize after batteries are replaced.
• Synchronize the units:
1. Bring both the sensor and display unit indoors and
remove batteries from each.
2. Reinstall batteries in outdoor sensor.
3. Reinstall batteries in display unit.
4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other
for about 20 minutes to gain a strong connection.
Outdoor
temperature
is ashing or
showing dashes
Flashing of the outdoor temperature may be an
indication of wireless interference.
• Make sure the A-B-C switch in the battery
compartments of both the display unit and sensor are
switched to the same letter. You may choose A, B or
C; but both units must match to sync up.
Inaccurate forecast
• Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next
12 to 24 hours, not current conditions.
• Has Learning Mode icon disappeared from the
display unit? Learning Mode must complete before
forecast and pressure will be accurate.
• Allow unit to run continuously for 33 days. Battery
removal or resetting the display unit will restart
Learning Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be
fairly accurate, however Learning Mode calibrates for
a total of 33 days.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Solution
Inaccurate
temperature or
humidity
• Make sure both the display unit and sensor are
placed away from heat sources or vents (see p.11).
• Make sure both units are positioned away from
moisture sources (see p.11).
• Make sure sensor is mounted at least 5 ft off the
ground.
• Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature and
humidity (see p.17).
No rainfall
• Verify the rain gauge stabilizer (plastic tab) has been
removed from the bottom of the sensor (see p.7).
• Clear debris, such as leaves, out of the rain collector
funnel and debris screen.
• Calibrate the Rain Gauge (see p.18).
• Verify the sensor’s internal tipping lever is moving
freely by dripping a little water through the rain
collector. You should hear the lever tipping. If you do
not hear it, you may need to clean inside the sensor.

Inaccurate wind
readings
• What is wind reading being compared to? Pro
weather stations are typically mounted at 30 ft high
or more. Make sure to compare data using a sensor
positioned at the same mounting height.
• Check location of the sensor. Ensure it’s mounted a
minimum of 5 ft in the air with no obstructions around
it (within several feet).
•Ensure wind cups are spinning freely. If they hesitate
or stop try lubricating with graphite powder or spray
lubricant.
Display screen
not working
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
Batteries may need to be replaced.
• Reset the display by pressing the reset button, located
on the back of the display unit. Date and time will

Care & Maintenance
Display Unit 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.
5-in-1 Sensor Care
Clean the Sensor
Clean with a soft damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives that will mar the
polished surfaces of the rain collection funnel or the solar cell. Scratches will result in
decreased performance and reliability.
Insect Prevention
Insects may cause obstructions and interrupt data by nesting in or on the 5-in-1 sensor.
To limit this problem, spray the outside of the sensor with a household insect repellent.
Consult the insect repellent instructions prior to use.
Snow & Freezing Weather
The 5-in-1 sensor will not be damaged by freezing conditions. NOTE: If the rain collec-
tor cup lls with snow and then melts, it will register as rain on the display unit.
Clean the Rain Collector Cup
Remove and empty rain collector debris lter. The debris lter is located in the rain col-
lector funnel. Remove from the top by gently squeezing and pulling out.
Clean the Wind Vane & Anemometer
Remove foreign matter from the outside of the sensor for free movement of the wind
vane and anemometer. If needed, use a small amount of spray lubricant, clear silicone
or graphite powder on the anemometer for improved movement.
Calibration
Calibrate Temperature & Humidity
The indoor / outdoor temperature and humidity readings can be calibrated on the
display unit to improve accuracy. Calibration improves accuracy when 5-in-1 sensor
placement or environmental factors impact your data accuracy.
1. Choose the weather category you wish to calibrate by pressing the up or down
arrow buttons until the category is displayed on the Selectable Category part of the
display unit.
2. Press AND HOLD the up and down arrow buttons and the “ ” button all at the
same time for 15-20 seconds.
• The display unit beeps, and all display data is hidden except for the value being
calibrated.
• “CAL” (calibrate) and arrows appear next to the value being calibrated.

18
ox
3. Press the up or down arrow buttons to calibrate the data value higher or lower from
the actual reading.
4. Press the “ ” button to conrm the calibration adjustment.
Note: The “CAL” icon remains illuminated next to calibrated
values.
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, display unit, plastic cup, pin, screw driver
1. First, ensure 5-in-1 sensor is perfectly level using built-in bubble level.
2. Place display unit close so you can monitor it during calibration.
3. Make a pin hole in the bottom of a plastic cup. Hold the cup over the rain gauge
and ll it with exactly 1 cup (8oz) of water, allowing the water to drip into the rain
gauge. You should hear the internal buckets tip and see water drain through the rain
gauge.
4. A few seconds after each bucket tip, the display unit displays rainfall in
approximately 0.01” or more increments.
5. The cup of water should take more than 20 minutes to empty; a quicker period will
result in inaccurate calibration. Try to simulate a normal steady rainfall. When cup is
empty of water, display unit should register 1.06”
Tips
• There should be nearly an equal number of water drops (about 25 water drops)
between bucket tips. If not, adjust the calibration screws on the bottom of the 5-in-1
sensor until an equal number of water drops are tipping the buckets. Then, restart the
calibration procedure.
• If you don’t hear the buckets tipping and see water dripping alternately out of
each drain, there may be an issue with the rain gauge or it’s adjustment. See
Troubleshooting on page 15.
Adjustment
If the rain gauge doesn’t register close to 1.06”, make an EQUAL adjustment to the two
calibration screws on the bottom of the 5-in-1 sensor. Turning screws clockwise increases
rainfall; counter clockwise decreases rainfall.
• To adjust the rainfall reading by 2% turn both screws 1/8 of a turn.
• To adjust the rainfall reading by 4% turn both screws 1/4 of a turn.
• To adjust the rainfall reading by 8% turn both screws 1/2 of a turn.

Limited One Year Warranty
At AcuRite, we proudly uphold our commitment
to quality technology. Chaney Instrument Co.
warrants that all products it manufactures to
be of good material and workmanship, and to
be free of defects when properly installed and
operated for a period of one year from the
date of purchase.
We recommend that you visit us at
www.AcuRite.com for the fastest way to
register your product. However, product
registration does not eliminate the need to
retain your original proof of purchase in order
to obtain warranty benets.
Chaney Instrument Co. warrants that all products it
manufactures to be of good material and workmanship, and to be
free of defects when properly installed and operated for a period
of one year from the date of purchase. Remedy for breach of
this warranty is limited to repair or replacement of the defective
item(s). Any product which, under normal use and service, is
proven to breach the warranty contained herein within ONE YEAR
from date of sale will, upon examination by Chaney, and at its
sole option, be repaired or replaced by Chaney. Transportation
costs and charges for returned goods shall be paid for by
the purchaser. Chaney hereby disclaims all responsibility for
such transportation costs and charges. This warranty will
not be breached, and Chaney will give no credit for products
it manufactures which have received normal wear and tear,
been damaged (including by acts of nature), tampered, abused,
improperly installed, damaged in shipping, or repaired or altered
by others than authorized representatives of Chaney.
The above-described warranty is expressly in lieu of all other
warranties, express or implied, and all other warranties are
hereby expressly disclaimed, including without limitation the
implied warranty of merchantability and the implied warranty
of fitness for a particular purpose. Chaney expressly disclaims
all liability for special, consequential or incidental damages,
whether arising in tort or by contract from any breach of this
warranty. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation
or exclusion may not apply to you. Chaney further disclaims all
liability from personal injury relating to its products to the extent
permitted by law. By acceptance of any of Chaney’s products,
the purchaser assumes all liability for the consequences arising
from their use or misuse. No person, firm or corporation is
authorized to assume for Chaney any other liability in connection
with the sale of its products. Furthermore, no person, firm or
corporation is authorized to modify or waive the terms of this
paragraph, and the preceding paragraph, unless done in writing
and signed by a duly authorized agent of Chaney. This warranty
gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state.
