Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of the display, 5-in-1 sensor and lightning sensor is 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.

Lightning Sensor Placement

The Lightning Sensor is water-resistant and is designed for general outdoor use, however, to extend its life place the sensor in an area protected from direct weather elements.

Hang the sensor using the integrated 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

Display must be within 330 feet (100 meters) of 5-in-1 sensor and lightning sensor.

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 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.

Lightning Sensor Installation Guidelines

False Detection

This sensor features advanced technology to distinguish between lightning strikes and interference, however in rare cases the sensor may "false detect" lightning activity due to interference. In these situations, verify there is no lightning in the area and then relocate the sensor. If the false detections persist, identify and relocate the source of interference or relocate the sensor.

Interference

The sensor features enhanced interference rejection capabilities to prevent false lightning detection. When the detector cannot detect lightning due to interference from nearby equipment, the sensor's interference indicator will ash.

• Electric motors (windshield wiper motor or fan motors in cars, hard drive and optical drive motors on your PC and AV equipment, well pumps, sump pumps)

• CRT monitors (PC monitors, TV's)

• Fluorescent light xtures (turned off or on)

• Microwave ovens (while in use)

• PC's and mobile phones

WARNING: Take shelter IMMEDIATELY when lightning is present, whether or not it has been detected by the Lightning Detector. If you are concerned about lightning strikes, follow all safety precautions to keep yourself and others safe. DO NOT rely on this Lightning Detector as your only source for warnings about potentially deadly lightning strikes or other severe weather conditions.

5-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 (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).

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.

NO OBSTRUCTIONS

ABOVE OR AROUND

SOUTH

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.

(1.5 meters)

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.

Basic Setup is Complete

The 5-in-1 sensor will now synchronize with the display. It may take a few minutes for synchronization to complete. If both or one of the units appear to be functioning improperly, please refer to the troubleshooting section.

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

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.

• Check to ensure the rain gauge stabilizer (plastic tab) has been removed from the bottom of the sensor (see page 10).

• Clear debris, such as leaves, out of the rain collector funnel and debris screen.

• Calibrate the Rain Gauge (see page 25).

• What is wind reading being compared to? Pro weather stations are typically mounted at 30 ft (9 m) 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 (1.5 m) 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.

• Check that the power adapter is plugged into the display and an electrical outlet.

• Reset the display by pressing and releasing the RESET button, located in the battery compartment of the display. Time and date will need to be entered after a reset.

Sensors (models 06002 or 06044), the A-B-C channels must differ between each add-on sensor.

1. Bring the display and wireless sensors together and

position them side-by-side.

2. Unplug cord & remove the batteries from the display.

3. Verify that each sensor has a different A-B-C channel selected.

• Model 06002 - Locate the A-B-C switch inside the

battery compartment to adjust channel setting.

• Model 06044 - Locate the A-B-C button on the back of the

sensor to adjust channel setting (indicated on sensor display).

4. Re-install sensor batteries (if applicable).

5. Plug in & re-install display batteries.

NOTE: It may take a few minutes for the display and sensor(s) to synchronized after batteries are replaced.

• Relocate the lightning sensor.

• Make sure the lightning sensor is placed at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronics that may cause interference (see page 14).

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.

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 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 collector cup lls with snow and then melts, it will register as rain on the display.

Clean the Rain Collector Cup

Remove and empty rain collector debris lter. The debris lter is located in the rain collector 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.

Lightning Sensor Care

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives.

Calibration

The indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity readings, and barometric pressure* can be calibrated on the display to improve accuracy. Calibration can improve accuracy when sensor placement or environmental factors impact the data accuracy.

1. To access calibration mode, press and release the “select” button until the reading you wish to calibrate is shown on the Weather Ticker.

2. Press and release the “options” button.

3. If necessary, press and release the “ ” or “ ” button until “CALIBRATION”

is shown on the Weather Ticker.

4. Press and release the “ on the display.

5. Press and release the “ “ or “ “ button to calibrate the data value higher or lower from the actual reading.

6. To save your adjustments, press and release the “ icon will remain illuminated next to calibrated values.

After 5-10 seconds of inactivity, the display will save the adjustments and exit calibration mode. NOTE: Calibrations will be erased if the display is reset or if batteries are removed and the power adapter is unplugged.

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, plastic cup, pin, screw driver

1. First, ensure 5-in-1 sensor is perfectly level using built-in bubble level.

2. Place display 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 displays rainfall in

approximately 0.01” (.25 mm) 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 should register 1.06” (27 mm).

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 22.

Adjustment

If the rain gauge doesn’t register close to 1.06” (27 mm), 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.
