readings
• Relocate the display and/or the AcuRite Atlas
The units must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other.
• Make sure both units are placed at least 3 ft (.9 m) away from
electronics that may interfere with the wireless communication
(such as TVs, microwaves, computers, etc).
• Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in sensor
when temperature is below -4˚F/-20˚C). Do not use heavy
duty or rechargeable batteries.
It may take a few minutes for display and sensor to
NOTE:
synchronize after batteries are replaced.
• Synchronize the units:
1. Bring both the sensor and display indoors and remove
power adapter/batteries from each.
2. Reinstall batteries in outdoor sensor.
3. Reinstall power adapter in display.
4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other for a few
minutes to gain a strong connection.
When the outdoor temperature is showing dashes, it may be an
indication of wireless interference between the sensor and display.
• Re-add sensor to display by accessing the "Connections"
sub-menu (see page 7).
• Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next 12 to
24 hours, not current conditions.
• Allow product to run continuously for 33 days. Powering
down or resetting the display will restart Learning Mode. After
14 days, forecast should be fairly accurate, however Learning
Mode calibrates for a total of 33 days.
• What is wind reading being compared to? Pro weather
stations are typically mounted at 30 ft (9 m) or higher. Make
sure to compare data using a sensor positioned at the same
mounting height.
• Check location of the sensor. Ensure it's mounted a minimum
of 5 ft (1.5 m) in the air with no obstructions around it (within
several feet).
• Ensure wind cups are spinning freely. If they hesitate or stop, try
lubricating with graphite powder or spray lubricant.
