AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of both the display unit and temperature probe is critical to the accuracy and performance of this product.
Display Unit & Probe Placement
Place the display unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. The display unit 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 probe during mounting.
Important Placement Guidelines
