Rain Gauge Installation

  • To ensure accurate rain measurement, the rain gauge MUST be placed on a flat, level surface.
  • Ensure the rain gauge is not placed in a low spot that could become flooded or in an area where there are obstructions above it.
  1. Separate the rain gauge cover from the rain gauge base.
  2. Locate the two holes on the rain gauge base.
  3. Fasten the rain gauge base to a sturdy surface, like a deck railing or a fence post, with screws (included) using hand tools (power tools may slip during installation, causing damage to the rain gauge).

Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of the display, 5-in-1 sensor and lightning sensor is critical to the accuracy and performance of this product.
Display Placement
Place the display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. Display stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable.
Lightning Sensor Placement
Sensor must be placed outside to observe outdoor conditions. Sensor is water resistant and is designed for general outdoor use, however, to extend its life place the sensor in an area protected from direct weather elements.
Hang the sensor using the integrated 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 maximize communication, install the rain gauge at least 3 ft (.9m) above the ground.
  • Display and rain gauge must be within 100 ft (30 m) of each other.
  • To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place lightning sensor out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents.
  • Display and lightning sensor must be within 330 ft (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 all units at least 3 ft (.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.). (330 feet maximum) (100 meters)

Lightning Sensor Installation Guidelines

False Detection
This sensor features advanced technology to distinguish between lightning strikes and interference, however in rare cases the sensor may “false detect” lightning activity due to interference. In these situations, verify there is no lightning in the area and then relocate the sensor. If the false detections persist, identify and relocate the source of interference or relocate the sensor.
Interference
The sensor features enhanced interference rejection capabilities to prevent false lightning detection. When the detector cannot detect lightning due to interference from nearby equipment, the sensor’s interference indicator will flash.

  • Electric motors (windshield wiper motor or fan motors in cars, hard drive and optical drive motors on your PC and AV equipment, well pumps, sump pumps)
  • CRT monitors (PC monitors, TV’s)
  • Fluorescent light fixtures (turned off or on)
  • Microwave ovens (while in use)
  • PC’s and mobile phones

WARNING: Take shelter IMMEDIATELY when lightning is present, whether or not it has been detected by the Lightning Detector. If you are concerned about lightning strikes, follow all safety precautions to keep yourself and others safe. DO NOT rely on this Lightning Detector as your only source for warnings about potentially deadly lightning strikes or other severe weather conditions.

Setup is Complete
The rain gauge and lightning sensor will now synchronize with the display. It may take a few minutes for synchronization to complete. Please refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual if anything appears to be functioning improperly.

OPERATION

Using the Weather Station Learning Mode
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 icon disappears from the display screen. At this point, the self-calibrated pressure is tuned in to your location and the unit is ready for superior weather prediction.
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 the sensor in your backyard. It generates a forecast with pinpoint accuracy – personalized for your exact location.

View the complete list of icons at www.AcuRite.com/acurite- icons

Barometric Pressure
Subtle variations in barometric pressure greatly affect the weather. This weather station displays the current pressure with an arrow icon to indicate the direction the pressure is trending (FALLING, STEADY, or RISING).
Lightning Detection
The lightning sensor detects cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-ground and intra-cloud lightning. When lightning is detected, the sensor will beep and the strike indicator will flash for each of the first 10 strikes. After 10 strikes, the sensor will enter silent mode but will continue to flash. The sensor will stay in silent mode for 2 hours after the last lightning detection. The display will automatically show the most recent lightning event (TODAY, WEEK, MONTH, YEAR). The icon appears on the display when lightning is detected and keeps a running count of lightning strikes detected. The display shows an estimate of the distance to the front of today’s lightning-producing storm.

  • 1.6” (40.6 mm) in the last 8 hours
  • 1.8” (45.7 mm) in the last 24 hours

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Solution

No lightning sensor or rain gauge reception

no bars

|

If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:

• Relocate the display and/or the lightning sensor.

The units must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other.

• Relocate the display and/or the rain gauge.

The units must be within 100 ft (30 m) of each other.

• Make sure all units are placed at least 3 feet  (.9 m) away from electronics that may interfere with the wireless communication (such as TVs, microwaves, computers, etc).

• Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in sensor when temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC). Do not use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries.

NOTE: It may take a few minutes for display and sensor to synchronize after batteries are replaced.

Display screen not working|

• Check that the power adapter is plugged into the display and an electrical outlet.

Outdoor temperature and/or humidity is flashing or showing dashes

|

Flashing of the outdoor temperature and/or humidity  is generally an indication of wireless interference.

1.   Bring the lightning sensor indoors and remove at least one battery. Remove the power adapter and/or batteries from the display.

2.   Reinstall the battery into the lightning sensor.

3.   Reinstall the power adapter/batteries into the display.

4.   Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other for a few minutes to gain a strong connection.

Inaccurate temperature or humidity| • Make sure the lightning sensor is placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents (see page 13).

Can the rain gauge remain outdoors in freezing temperatures?

|

No, the rain gauge should be brought indoors when there is a possibility of freezing temperatures. Water expands when it freezes. If any water is left within the rain gauge during a freeze, it can crack the plastic and cause permanent damage.

Problem Possible Solution

Inaccurate forecast

| • Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours, not current conditions.

• Has the  icon disappeared from the display? Learning Mode must complete before forecast and pressure will be accurate.

• Allow unit to run continuously for 33 days. Battery removal or resetting the display will restart Learning Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be fairly accurate, however Learning Mode calibrates for a total of 33 days.

Interference Indicator is flashing

| • Relocate the lightning sensor.

• Make sure the lightning sensor is placed at least

3 feet (.9 m) away from electronics that may cause interference (see page 14).

Care & Maintenance

Display Care
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives. Keep away from dust, dirt and moisture. Clean ventilation ports regularly with a gentle puff of air.
Lightning Sensor Care
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives.
Rain Gauge Care
Clean with a soft damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives that could mar the polished surface of the rain gauge or tipping cups. If the collector becomes dirty, rain water may not ow correctly through the rain gauge. Some environmental conditions may require more frequent, periodic cleaning of the collector. After a cleaning, it is recommended to apply a small amount of liquid water repellent (found in the automotive section) to the tipping cups and collector funnel for optimal rain collection.
The rain gauge cannot be used in the winter during freezing temperatures. Water expands when it freezes. If any water is left within the unit during a freeze, it can crack the plastic and permanently damage the unit.

Calibration

Calibrate Temperature, Humidity & Barometric Pressure
The outdoor temperature and humidity readings, and barometric pressure can be calibrated on the display to improve accuracy. Calibration can improve accuracy when sensor placement or environmental factors impact the data accuracy.

  1. To access calibration mode, press AND HOLD the “SELECT”, “ SET ”, and “ SELECT” ENTER SELECT buttons simultaneously for at least 5 seconds.
  2. To adjust the currently selected (flashing) item, press and release the “SELECT“ or “ “ buttons to calibrate the data value higher or lower from the actual reading. SELECT
  3. To save your adjustments, press and release the “ENTER

SET ” button to adjust the next preference. The “ ” icon will remain illuminated next to calibrated values.
The preference set order is as follows:

  • OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE
  • OUTDOOR HUMIDITY

**BAROMETRIC PRESSURE (must be set to MANUAL mode to calibrate)**
To change from auto to manual pressure mode and vice versa, press AND HOLD the “ ENTER SET ” button for 8-10 seconds. The display indicates the current pressure mode selected, “auto” or “manual”.
After 5-10 seconds of inactivity, the display will save the adjustments and exit calibration mode.

NOTE: Calibrations will be erased if the display is reset or if batteries are removed and the power adapter is unplugged.

Calibrate the Rain Gauge
The rain gauge can be calibrated to improve accuracy.

Items Needed: rain gauge, display, plastic cup, pin, screw driver

  1. First, place the rain gauge on a level surface.
  2. Place the display close by so you can monitor it during calibration.
  3. Make a pin hole in the bottom of a plastic cup. Hold the cup over the rain gauge and fill it with exactly 1 cup (8 oz.) of water, allowing the water to slowly drip into the rain gauge. You should hear the internal cups tipping and see the water drain through the rain gauge.
  4. A few seconds after each cup tip, the display will display rainfall in approximately 0.01” (0.2 mm) or more increments.
  5. The cup of water should take a few minutes to empty; a quicker period will result in an inaccurate calibration. Try to simulate a normal steady rainfall. When the cup is empty of water, the display should register 1.68” (42.67 mm).

Tips

  • There should be nearly an equal number of water drops between cup tips. If not, then adjust the calibration screws beneath the tipping lever until an equal number of water drops are tipping the cups. Then, restart the calibration procedure.
  • If you don’t hear the cups tipping and see water dripping alternately out of each drain, there may be an issue with the rain gauge or it’s adjustment.

Adjustment


If the rain gauge doesn’t register close to 1.68” (42.67 mm) after the cup is empty, make an EQUAL adjustment to the two calibration screws, located beneath the tipping cups. Turn screws counterclockwise to increase rainfall; turn screw clockwise to decrease rainfall.

  • To adjust the rainfall reading by 2% turn both screws 1/4 of a turn.
  • To adjust the rainfall reading by 4% turn both screws 1/2 of a turn.
  • To adjust the rainfall reading by 8% Rainfall Rainfall Rainfall Rainfall turn both screws 1 full turn.
