Introduction
The AcuRite® Professional Weather Center with Integrated
Multi-Sensor collects outside weather data and sends the data via
wireless signal to the included Display Console via a low-power
radio frequency. This weather center has been designed to be
easy to install and use, without compromising any of the
professional weather tracking features you want.
The AcuRite® 5-in-1 Multi-Sensor is completely wireless and
contains a self-emptying rain collector for measuring rainfall,
temperature/humidity sensor, anemometer, and a wind vane. The
anemometer measures wind speed, and the wind vane measures
wind direction. The Integrated Multi-Sensor is battery powered
and features a solar panel for running an internal aspirating fan.
The internal fan will assist in drawing ambient air through to
reduce the heating effects of solar radiation, resulting in a more
accurate air temperature measurement.
The sleek display console houses a liquid crystal display (LCD)
which will calculate and display all the weather data received
from the Integrated Multi-Sensor outside. The Display Console can
be powered via AC power utilizing the included AC adaptor, or it
can be powered with batteries. The Display Console has
professional weather features such as alarms for high and low
conditions, daily/all time record highs and lows, and an area for
displaying a multitude of extra weather information- the Weather

BATTERIES MUST BE INSTALLED FOR THE INTEGRATED SENSOR
TO OPERATE: The integrated sensor features a solar cell for
collecting sunlight and converting it into usable power, this feature is
intended to EXTEND the life of the batteries you install. This sensor
REQUIRES batteries be installed to operate, and will not function on
solar power alone.
PLEASE DISPOSE OF OLD OR DEFECTIVE BATTERIES IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY
SAFE WAY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR LOCAL LAWS AND
REGULATIONS.
The display console will operate under battery power OR AC power
alone, however, it is recommended that batteries be installed to
retain records and to ensure continued operation during a power
outage.
Note that the Weather Ticker will display a scrolling welcome
message and basic instructions after powering on.
IMPORTANT: set the time and date as soon as possible, weather
history data is driven by the time and date and will record incorrect
time and date information if the time and date are not set correctly.

Installing the Wireless 5-in-1 Multi-Sensor
After installing batteries into the Wireless Multi-sensor, you must
choose a location to install the sensor. To ensure that your
professional weather center performs at its best, follow these
guidelines to choose a mounting location for the wireless multi-sensor:
INSTALL AWAY FROM HEAT & HUMIDITY SOURCES:
DO NOT Place the wireless multi-sensor near localized heat
sources like heaters, air conditioners, chimneys and exhaust
vents. Install the wireless multi-sensor away from asphalt or
concrete as these surfaces radiate heat from the sun. Also avoid
installing the sensor near pools, spas, or other bodies of water
as these water sources may affect the accuracy of the humidity.
INSTALL AWAY FROM SPRINKLER HEADS:
DO NOT install the wireless multi-sensor where it will be directly
sprayed by a sprinkler system, this will affect the rainfall
measurement accuracy and may force water into the housing.
WIND & RAIN OBSTRUCTIONS:
DO NOT mount the sensor with obstructions above it, as this will
ensure proper rainfall measurement. Also consider a mounting
location that has very little structures around the sensor, to
ensure proper wind speed and direction measurements.
INSTALLATION HEIGHT:
DO Mount the wireless multi-sensor at least 5 feet off the ground
(higher is better for accurate wind measurements) in an open
area NO FURTHER than 300 feet (100 meters) from the display
console. A typical installation would involve mounting the
bracket to a secured length of 2x4 or 4x4 wood (not included).
LEVEL INSTALLATION:
DO Install the wireless multi-sensor as level as possible to ensure
accurate rain and wind measurements. Use the bubble level on
the top to ensure a level installation.
SOLAR CELL ORIENTATION:
DO Install the sensor onto the mounting bracket with the solar cell
facing SOUTH. This is important to ensure that the cell receives as
much sun as possible, and also orients the wind direction
properly.
NO OBSTRUCTIONS ABOVE
OR AROUND

SOUTH
(1.5 meters)
TO CLEAR DATA COLLECTED DURING INSTALLATION:
During the process of installation, internal sensors were likely
triggered-resulting in erroneous rainfall and wind measurements.
When installation is complete, you may want to clear out the
erroneous data from the display consoles memory.
To clear out the display consoles memory without having to reset the
clock and re-establish communication, press the “CLEAR TODAY”
button. This button will clear out any data that was recorded since
12:00 am that day. The “CLEAR TODAY” button is located on the
back of the display console within the battery compartment.
