OPERATION
Placement for Maximum Accuracy
AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper
placement of both the display and temperature probe are critical to the
accuracy and performance of this product.
Display & Probe Placement
Place the display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. Display stands upright
for tabletop use or is wall-mountable. To observe outdoor temperatures, the
wired temperature probe must be placed outside. The probe sensor can be
securely mounted to a surface utilizing the adhesive pad or the integrated
hang hole. Take care not to damage the sensor during mounting.
Important Placement Guidelines
- To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place units out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents.
- The wired temperature probe is not waterproof and is not intended for permanent submersion in liquids. Submersion in liquid for more than 30 seconds may result in the complete failure of the probe.
High & Low Records
High and low values are recorded for display (IN) and probe (OUT) temperature.
High and low records reflect the minimum and maximum temperature recorded
since the unit was powered on, or since the battery was changed (whichever was
most recent).
To view the HIGH-temperature record, press and release the “MIN/MAX” button.
The “MAX” icon appears on the display next to the high records.
To view the LOW-temperature record, press and release the “MIN/MAX” button
twice. The “MIN” icon appears on the display next to the low records.
To manually reset the high or low records, press and release the “CLEAR”
button while viewing the records you wish to clear. Dashes will display to
confirm the records have been cleared.
