Care & Maintenance; Calibration - ACU-RITE 01608 Instruction Manual

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.
Wireless 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 flow 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
The indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity readings can be calibrated
on the display to improve accuracy. Calibration can improve accuracy when
sensor placement or environmental factors impact your data accuracy.
1. To access calibration mode, press AND HOLD the "▲", "▼", and "SET"
buttons for at least 10 seconds.
2. Once in calibration mode, the preference you are currently setting will be
shown on the display
3. Press the "▲" or "▼" buttons to calibrate the data value higher or lower
from the actual reading.
4. Press the "SET" button to confirm the calibration adjustment. The "
will remain illuminated next to calibrated values.
5. The next adjustable data will appear, indicating it is ready to be calibrated.
Repeat Steps 1 - 4 to calibrate additional data.
The preference set order is as follows:
OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE
OUTDOOR HUMIDITY
