Tull

• 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 batteries from each.

2. Reinstall batteries in outdoor sensor.

3. Reinstall 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

showing dashes

Inaccurate forecast

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 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.

• Make sure both the display and 5-in-1 sensor are
placed away from any heat sources or vents (see

page 10).

• Make sure both units are positioned away from

moisture sources (see page 10).

• Make sure 5-in-1 sensor is mounted at least 5 ft off of

the ground.

• Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature and
humidity (see page 16).

• Check to ensure the rain gauge stabilizer (plastic tab)

has been removed from the bottom of the sensor (see
page 7).

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

• Calibrate the Rain Gauge (see page 17).

• 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.
Video available at www.acurite.com/5in1

• 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.

• Check that the power adapter or batteries are

installed correctly. Batteries may need to be replaced.

• Reset the display by pressing and HOLDING the
“CLEAR ALL/RESET” button located in the battery
compartment of the display button for more than 10
seconds. Date and time will need to be entered after

a reset.

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 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
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.

Calibration

The indoor / 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 HOLD the “T“ and “V“ buttons

simultaneously for at least 5 seconds.

2. To adjust the currently selected (ashing) item, press and release the “T“
or “V“ buttons to calibrate the data value higher or lower from the actual

reading.

3. To save your adjustments, press and release the “SET ” button to adjust the
next preference. The “ ” icon will remain illuminated next to calibrated
values.

,.e

16

The preference set order is as follows:

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE
OUTDOOR HUMIDITY
INDOOR TEMPERATURE
INDOOR HUMIDITY
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE (must be set to MANUAL mode to calibrate)*

*To change from AUTO to MANUAL pressure mode and vice versa, press

AND HOLD the “SET ” button for at least 10 seconds. The display indicates
the current pressure mode selected,“AUTO” or “MANUAL”.

After 20 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 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.

17

• 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.
