OPERATION
Placement for Maximum Accuracy
AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of both the display unit and temperature probe are critical to the accuracy and performance of this product.
Display Unit & Probe Placement
Place the display unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. The display unit stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable.To observe outdoor temperatures, the wired temperature probe must be placed outside. The probe sensor can be securely mounted to a surface utilizing the adhesive pad or the integrated hang hole. Take care not to damage the sensor during mounting.
Important Placement Guidelines
To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place units out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents. The wired temperature probe is not waterproof and is not intended for permanent submersion in liquids. Submersion in liquid for more than 30 seconds may result in the complete failure of the probe.
High & Low Records
High and low values are recorded for display (indoor) and probe (outdoor) temperature. High and low records reflect the minimum and maximum temperature recorded since the unit was powered on since the battery was changed, or since it was manually reset (whichever was most recent).To view the HIGH-temperature record, press and release the “MIN/MAX” button. The “MAX” icon appears on the display next to the high records. To view the LOW-temperature record, press and release the “MIN/MAX” button twice. The “MIN” icon appears on the display next to the low records.To reset the LOW records, press the “CLEAR” button while viewing the low records. Dashes will display to confirm low values have been cleared.To reset the HIGH records, press the “CLEAR” button while viewing the high records. Dashes will display to confirm high values have been cleared.
