Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement
of the display 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.

Important Placement Guidelines

Display and sensor must be within 330 feet (100 m) of each other.

MAXIMIZE WIRELESS RANGE

Place unit away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects
that may limit wireless communication.

PREVENT WIRELESS INTERFERENCE

Place unit at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave,
radio, etc.).

AUTO DIM MODE:Automatically adjusts display brightness based on time of day.

6:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. = 100% brightness

OPERATION

Using the Professional Weather Center Troubleshooting
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

AcuRiteʼs 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 weather station
displays the current pressure with an arrow icon to indicate the direction the pressure is
trending (FALLING, STEADY, or RISING).

Problem Possible Solution

• 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
(90 cm) 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 a few 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 a few minutes to gain a strong connection.

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.

Rainfall Tracking

This weather station features enhanced tracking of historical rainfall data. Rain
accumulation data is recorded for today, over all-time, by year and by week.

Press the “ ” button to review rainfall records. The “ ” is shown on the display
while historical data is being viewed.

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.

Troubleshooting Care & Maintenance

Problem Possible Solution

• Make sure both the display and 5-in-1 sensor are
placed away from any heat sources or vents
(see page 7).

Inaccurate

temperature or

humidity

No rainfall

Inaccurate wind

readings

• Make sure both units are positioned away from
moisture sources (see page 7).

• 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 11).

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

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

• 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 itʼs 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 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.

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, pressing “ V”, “ ” and “ V ” buttons simultaneously
for at least 5 seconds.

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

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

The preference set order is as follows:
OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE

OUTDOOR HUMIDITY
INDOOR TEMPERATURE

*To change from AUTO to MANUAL pressure mode and vice versa, press AND
HOLD the “

mode. Note: Calibrations will be erased if the display is reset or if batteries are
removed and the power adapter is unplugged.
