Care & Maintenance; Calibration - AcuRite 01528 Instruction Manual

Care & Maintenance
Display Unit 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.
5-in-1 Sensor Care
Clean the Sensor
Clean with a soft damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives that will mar the
polished surfaces of the rain collection funnel or the solar cell. Scratches will result in
decreased performance and reliability.
Insect Prevention
Insects may cause obstructions and interrupt data by nesting in or on the 5-in-1 sensor.
To limit this problem, spray the OUTSIDE of the sensor with a household insect repellent.
Consult the insect repellent instructions prior to use.
Snow & Freezing Weather
The 5-in-1 sensor will not be damaged by freezing conditions. NOTE: If the rain
collector cup fills with snow and then melts, it will register as rain on the display unit.
Clean the Rain Collector Cup
Remove and empty rain collector debris filter. The debris filter is located in the rain
collector funnel. Remove from the top by gently squeezing and pulling out.
Clean the Wind Vane & Anemometer
Remove foreign matter from the outside of the sensor for free movement of the wind
vane and anemometer. If needed, use a small amount of spray lubricant, clear silicone
or graphite powder on the anemometer for improved movement.

Calibration

The indoor / outdoor temperature and humidity readings, and barometric pressure
can be calibrated on the display unit to improve accuracy. Calibration can improve
accuracy when sensor placement or environmental factors impact the data accuracy.
