Sensor Setup

  1. Set the A-B-C Switch
    The A-B-C switch is located inside the battery compartment. It can be set to A, B, or C.
    NOTE: If being used with a companion product that has an A-B-C channel, you must select the same letter choice for both the sensor and the product it is being
    paired with in order for the units to synchronize.

  2. Install or Replace Batteries
    AcuRite recommends high quality alkaline or lithium batteries in the sensor for the best product performance. Heavy duty or rechargeable batteries are not recommended. The sensor requires lithium batteries in low-temperature conditions. Cold temperatures can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. Use lithium batteries in the sensor for temperatures below -4ºF / -20ºC.
    1. Slide off the battery compartment cover.
    2. Insert 2 x AA batteries into the battery compartment, as shown. Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery compartment.

Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of the sensor is critical to the accuracy and performance of this product.
Sensor Placement
The sensor is water-resistant and is designed for general indoor or outdoor use, however, to extend its life place the sensor in an area protected from direct weather elements.
Hang the sensor using the integrated hang hole or 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**

  • To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place the sensor out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources.
  • The sensor must be within 330 ft (100 m) of the companion unit (not included).
  • To maximize wireless range, place sensors away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication.
  • To prevent wireless interference, place the sensor at least 3 ft (0.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).
