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 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
Display and sensor must be within 330 feet (100 m) of each other.
MAXIMIZE WIRELESS RANGE
Place units away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other
objects that may limit wireless communication.
PREVENT WIRELESS INTERFERENCE
Place both units at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV,
computer, microwave, radio, etc.).
LOCATE AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES
Position sensor away from heaters, air conditioners, chimneys, exhaust vents,
asphalt and concrete (surfaces that radiate heat).
LOCATE AWAY FROM HUMIDITY SOURCES
Avoid installing the sensor near pools, spas, or other bodies of water. Water
sources may impact humidity accuracy.
LOCATE AWAY FROM SPRINKLER HEADS
DO NOT install the sensor where it will be sprayed by a sprinkler system. This
may force water inside the sensor.
LOCATE AWAY FROM WIND & RAIN OBSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT mount the sensor with obstructions around it.
Consider a location that is a wide open area, with few
structures around to ensure accurate wind measurement.

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).
LEVEL INSTALLATION Use the bubble level
on the top of the sensor to ensure level
installation for accurate wind and rain
measurement.
SOLAR CELL INSTALLATION Install the
sensor with the solar cell facing SOUTH.
This ensures the cell receives as much sun
as possible and orients wind direction.
5-in-1 Sensor Installation
1. Fasten mounting base (included) to a post
or pole (not included) using the 4 longer
screws included in the hardware bag.
2. Insert the mounting base into the hole
on the bottom of the sensor.
3. Make sure the arrows on the top of the
sensor are pointed in the proper direction
and the bubble level is centered. The
solar cell should be facing south to
properly orient the wind direction.
4. Fasten the sensor into the mounting base
using the 2 shorter screws included in the hardware bag.
The 5-in-1 sensor is now ready to use.
Clear Data Collected During Installation
When installation is complete, clear erroneous data from the display by
pressing the “CLEAR TODAY” button, on the back of the display inside the
battery compartment. This button will clear data recorded since 12:00 am.
Basic Setup is Complete

• Relocate the display 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 and sensor to
synchronize after batteries are replaced.
• Synchronize the units:
1. Bring both the sensor and display indoors and
remove power adapter/batteries from each.
2. Reinstall batteries in outdoor sensor.
3. Reinstall power adapter/batteries in display.
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 and sensor are
switched to the same letter. You may choose A, B or
C; but both units must match to sync up. Sometimes
changing to a different channel can help.
Weather Ticker
Hard to Read • Slow down the speed of the ticker (see page 16).
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? 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 will restart Learning
Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be fairly
accurate, however Learning Mode calibrates for a
total of 33 days.
