Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of both the display and the sensor are critical to the accuracy and performance of this unit.
Display Placement
Place the display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. The display stands upright for tabletop use and is wall-mountable.

Records
I mportant Placement Guidelines

• To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place units out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents.
• Display and sensor(s) must be within 330 feet (100 m) of each other.
• To maximize wireless range, place units away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication.
• To prevent wireless interference, place units at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).

OPERATION

Navigate to the main menu at any time by pressing the “ ” button. From the main menu, you can view records, set alarms, set up an additional sensor and more.

1. Records
   Access the “Records” sub-menu to view high and low values recorded for each location by date and view trends for the sensor’s readings on a graphic chart.

2. Alarms
   Access the “Alarms” sub-menu to set and edit alarm values, including temperature, humidity, wind speed and rainfall. The display also includes an alarm clock feature (time alarm) and a storm alarm (activated when the barometric pressure drops).

3. Setup
   Access the “Setup” sub-menu to enter the initial setup process.

4. Display
   Access the “Display” sub-menu to adjust display settings (brightness, contrast, tint), display mode (screen cycle) and backlight (auto-dim, sleep mode).
   When auto dim mode is activated in the display setup, the backlight automatically dims the brightness based on the time of day. When “Sleep Mode” is activated, the display automatically dims during the timeframe you choose and shows only the most important readings for at-a-glance viewing.
   AUTO DIM MODE: Automatically adjusts display brightness based on time of day.
   6:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. = 100% brightness
   9:01 p.m. – 5:59 a.m.= 15% brightness

5. Sensor
   Access the “Sensor” sub-menu to add, remove or view information about a sensor.

   Follow the on-screen prompts to perform the reset.

Weather Overview Dashboard

Weather Forecast
AcuRite’s patented Self-Calibrating Forecasting provides your personal forecast of weather conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours by collecting data from a sensor in your backyard. It generates a forecast with pinpoint accuracy – personalized for your exact location. Self-Calibrating Forecasting uses a unique algorithm to analyze changes in pressure over a time period (called Learning Mode) to determine your altitude. After 14 days, the self-calibrated pressure is tuned in to your location and the unit is ready for superior weather prediction.

Moon Phase
The moon phase is displayed between 7:00 p.m. to 5:59 a.m. when conditions allow for moon visibility. The phases of the moon are conveyed through simple lunar phase icons:

Expand the System

This weather station measures temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction and rainfall. The weather station can be expanded to include lightning detection by connecting a compatible AcuRite Lightning Sensor (optional; sold separately).

Compatible Lightning Sensor available at: www.AcuRite.com
NOTE: Access the “Sensor” sub-menu to add sensor(s) to the display if being connected after initial setup.

Troubleshooting

No reception
no bars| • Relocate the display and/or the AcuRite Iris sensor.
The units must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other.
• Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet
(.9 m) away from electronics that may interfere with wireless communication (such as TVs, microwaves, computers, etc).
• Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in the sensor when the temperature is below -20ºC/-4ºF). Do not use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries.
NOTE: It may take a few minutes for the 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 the outdoor sensor.
3. Reinstall power adapter in the display.
4. Let the units sit within a couple of feet of each other for a few minutes to gain a strong connection.
Temperature is showing dashes| When the outdoor temperature is showing dashes, it may be an indication of wireless interference between the sensor and display.
• Re-add sensor to display by accessing the “Sensors” submenu (see page 10).
Inaccurate forecast| • Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours, not current conditions.
• Allow the product to run continuously for 33 days. Powering down or resetting the display will restart Learning  Mode. After 14 days, the forecast should be fairly accurate, however, Learning Mode calibrates for a total of 33 days.
Inaccurate wind readings| • What is wind reading being compared to? Pro weather stations are typically mounted at 30 ft (9 m) high or more.
Make sure to compare data using a sensor positioned at the same mounting height.
• Check the location of the sensor. Ensure it’s mounted a minimum of 5 ft (1.5 m) 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.
Inaccurate temperature or
humidity| • Make sure both the display and AcuRite Iris sensor are placed away from any heat sources or vents  (see page 8).
• Make sure both units are positioned away from moisture sources (see page 8).
• Make sure AcuRite Iris sensor is mounted at least 1.5 m (5 ft) off of the ground.
• Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity (see “Calibrate” on page 10).
Display screen not working| • Check that the power adapter is plugged into the display and an electrical outlet.
