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.
AcuRite Iris Sensor Placement
The AcuRite Iris sensor is designed to remain outdoors all year long.
Choose an open location with no obstructions above or around the sensor
for the most accurate measurements.
Important Placement Guidelines
Display and sensor must be within 330 feet (100 meters) of each other.
MAXIMIZE WIRELESS RANGE
Place units away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that
may limit wireless communication.
PREVENT WIRELESS INTERFERENCE
Place units at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave,
radio, etc.).
LOCATE AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES
Position sensor away from heaters, air conditioners, chimneys, exhaust vents, asphalt and
concrete (surfaces that radiate heat).
LOCATE AWAY FROM HUMIDITY SOURCES
Avoid installing the sensor near pools, spas, or other bodies of water. Water sources may
impact humidity accuracy.
LOCATE AWAY FROM SPRINKLER HEADS
DO NOT install the sensor where it will be sprayed by a sprinkler system. This may force
water inside the sensor.
LOCATE AWAY FROM WIND & RAIN OBSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT mount the sensor with obstructions around it. Consider a location that is a wide
open area, with few structures around to ensure accurate wind measurement.
