Placement for Maximum AccuracyAcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of both the display unit and the sensor is critical to the accuracy and performance of this product.Display Unit Placement
Place the display unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents. The display unit stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable.3-in-1 Sensor Placement
The 3-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.
Important Placement Guidelines
The display unit and sensor must be within 330 feet (100 m) of each other.MAXIMIZE WIRELESS RANGEPlace units away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication.PREVENT WIRELESS INTERFERENCEPlace both units at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).LOCATE AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCESPosition sensor away from heaters, air conditioners, chimneys, exhaust vents, asphalt, and concrete (surfaces that radiate heat).LOCATE AWAY FROM HUMIDITY SOURCESAvoid installing the sensor near pools, spas, or other bodies of water. Water sources may impact humidity accuracy.LOCATE AWAY FROM SPRINKLER HEADSDO NOT install the sensor where it will be sprayed by a sprinkler system. This may force water inside the sensor.LOCATE AWAY FROM WIND 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 speed measurement.Visit us online to view installation photos and video, or learn more about AcuRite technology: www.AcuRite.com/3in1

3-in-1 Sensor Installation Guidelines
INSTALLATION HEIGHT Mount the sensor at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground (higher is better for wind measurement) in an open area. Secure to a fence post, 2″x4″ wood, 3/4″ pole, etc. (not included)LEVEL INSTALLATION Use a bubble level (not included) to ensure level installation for accurate wind measurement.Top or Side Mount
- Insert the mounting base into the hole on the bottom of the sensor.
- Use one of the screws included in the hardware bag to fasten the lower sensor housing to the mounting base.
- Fasten mounting base to a post or railing using 2 screws.
Pole Mount
- Insert pole (we recommend 3/4″ schedule 40 PVC / 25.8 mm O.D., not included) or similar item all the way into the hole on the bottom of the sensor. Note: Mounting base is not used.
- Use one of the screws included in the hardware bag to fasten the lower sensor housing securely to the pole.The 3-in-1 sensor is now ready to use.
Clear Data Collected During InstallationWhen the installation is complete, clear erroneous data from the display unit by pressing the “CLEAR RECORD/RESET” button for each category, on the back of the display inside the battery compartment.Basic Setup is CompleteThe 3-in-1 sensor will now synchronize with the display unit. It may take a few minutes for synchronization to complete. If both or one of the units appears to be functioning improperly, please refer to the troubleshooting section.OPERATION
Using The Weather Center
Learning ModeSelf-Calibrating Forecasting uses a unique algorithm to analyze changes in pressure over a time period (called Learning Mode) to determine your altitude. After 14 days, the Learning Mode icon disappears from the display screen. At this point, the self-calibrated pressure is tuned in to your location and the unit is ready for superior weather prediction.Weather ForecastAcuRite’s patented Self-Calibrating Forecasting provides your personal forecast of weather conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours by collecting data from the sensor in your backyard. It generates a forecast with pinpoint accuracy – personalized for your exact location.

Multi-Variable History ChartThe multi-variable history chart lets you monitor the change in conditions over the past 12 hour time period (-12, -6, -3, -2, -1, 0). The chart automatically toggles between barometric pressure, outdoor temperature, and outdoor humidity readings.Wind SpeedThe Wind Speed area of the display features the CURRENT speed, as well as the LOW, AVERAGE, and PEAK wind speeds. PEAK, AVERAGE, and LOW wind speeds are based on the past 30-minute time frame by default. The time frame can be adjusted during the calibration process (page 15).Barometric PressureSubtle variations in barometric pressure greatly impact the weather. This weather center displays the current pressure with an arrow icon to indicate the direction the pressure is trending (FALLING, STEADY, or RISING). The multi-variable history chart lets you monitor the change in pressure over time.Weather SelectWeather Select displays data including wind chill, dew point, heat index, as well as 24-hour change, and high/low records for outdoor/indoor temperatures, humidity, and wind speed. To change the “Weather Select” category shown, press the “SELECT” button on the front of the display. When outdoor/indoor temperature or humidity is chosen, the display cycles through the category’s records in this order:24 Hour Change (the amount the data has changed since 24 hours ago)Today’s HIGHToday’s LOWMonth’s HIGHMonth’s LOWAll Time HIGHAll Time LOWWhen Wind Speed is chosen, the display cycles through the following records:Today’s HIGHMonth’s HIGHAll Time HIGHTo clear a record, view one of the values listed above and press the “CLEAR RECORD/RESET” button, located on the back of the unit in the battery compartment.

Care & Maintenance
Display Unit CareClean 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.3-in-1 Sensor CareClean the SensorClean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives.Insect PreventionInsects may cause obstructions and interrupt data by nesting in or on the 3-in-1 sensor. To limit this problem, spray sensor housing with a household insect repellent.Note: Insect repellent should not be sprayed on the internal components or into the sensor. Consult insect repellent instructions prior to use.Snow & Freezing WeatherThe 3-in-1 sensor will not be damaged by freezing conditions.Clean the Wind AnemometerRemove foreign matter from the outside of the sensor for free movement of the wind anemometer. If needed, use a small amount of spray lubricant, clear silicone, or graphite powder on the anemometer for improved movement. Note: Spray lubricant, clear silicone, or graphite powder should not be sprayed on the internal components or into the sensor.
Calibration
The indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity readings, wind speed interval, and barometric pressure can be calibrated on the display unit to improve accuracy. Calibration can improve accuracy when sensor placement or environmental factors impact the data accuracy.
