5-in-1 Sensor Installation Guidelines
INSTALLATION HEIGHT
Mount the sensor at a minimum height of 5 feet
(1.5 meters) off the ground, in an open area. Higher is better for wind
measurements- the National Weather Service recommends 33 feet
(10 meters) high!
MOUNTING OPTIONS
The included mounting bracket is designed to screw
directly onto wooden posts or surfaces that are 2"x 4" or larger. The
sensor can also be mounted directly to 3/4" steel pipe (available at
hardware stores and home centers).
SOLAR CELL INSTALLATION
Install the
sensor with the solar cell facing SOUTH.
This ensures the cell receives as much sun
as possible and orients wind direction.

5-in-1 Sensor Installation

1. Fasten mounting base (included) to a
post or pole (not included) using the 4
longer screws included in the hardware
bag.
2. Insert the mounting base into the hole
on the bottom of the sensor.
3. Make sure the arrows on the top of
the sensor are pointed in the proper
direction and the bubble level is
centered. The solar cell should be
facing south to properly orient the
wind direction.
4. Fasten the sensor into the mounting
base using the 2 shorter screws included in the hardware bag.
The 5-in-1 sensor is now ready to use.
Clear Data Collected During Installation
When installation is complete, clear erroneous data from the display unit by
pressing the "CLEAR RECORD/ RESET" button, on the back of the display
inside the battery compartment. This button will clear data recorded since
12:00 am.
Basic Setup is Complete
The 5-in-1 sensor will now synchronize with the display unit. It may take a few
minutes for synchronization to complete. If both or one of the units appear to
be functioning improperly, please refer to the troubleshooting section.

OPERATION
Using the Professional Weather Center
Learning Mode
Self-Calibrating Forecasting use a unique algorithm to analyze changes in
pressure over a time period (called Learning Mode) to determine your altitude.
After 14 days, the Learning Mode 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.
