SETUP 5-in-1 Sensor Setup Set the A-B-C Switch The 5-in-1 sensor requires lithium Locate the A-B-C switch inside the batteries in low temperature battery compartment. Set the A-B-C conditions. Cold temperatures can switch to A, B or C. You must select cause alkaline batteries to function the same letter choice for both the improperly.
Placement for Maximum Accuracy AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of the sensor is critical to the accuracy and performance of this product. 5-in-1 Sensor Placement The 5-in-1 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.

5-in-1 Sensor Installation Guidelines INSTALLATION HEIGHT Mount the sensor at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground in an open area. Higher is better for wind measurement- 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”...
Calibrate the Rain Gauge The rain gauge on the 5-in-1 sensor can be calibrated to improve accuracy. Items Needed: 5-in-1 sensor, companion unit, plastic cup, pin, screw driver 1. First, ensure 5-in-1 sensor is perfectly level using built-in bubble level. 2.
