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 product. Display Placement Place the display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents.
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 it designed to screw directly onto wooden posts or surfaces that are 2x4 (4.5cm x 9.5cm) or larger.
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.
Programmable Alarms This display features programmable alarms that sound an alert to notify you when a value (for outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed or rainfall) has been reached or exceeded. When an alarm is triggered, the display emits an audible beep and flashes data in the affected category (will not interact with Weather Underground ).
Troubleshooting Problem Possible Solution • Relocate the display and/or the 5-in-1 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 the wireless communication (such as TVs, microwaves, computers, etc).

• Verify the sensor’s internal tipping lever is moving freely by dripping a little water through the rain collector. You should hear the lever tipping. If you do not hear it, you may need to clean inside the sensor. Video available at www.acurite.com/5in1.
• Ensure wind cups are spinning freely. If they hesitate or stop try lubricating with graphite powder or spray lubricant. If your AcuRite product does not operate properly after trying the troubleshooting steps, visit www.AcuRite.com or call (877) 221-1252 for assistance.
