Placement Guidelines - AcuRite 01021 Instruction Manual

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.).
