OPERATION
Placement for Maximum AccuracyAcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of both the display and temperature probe are critical to the accuracy and performance of this product.Display & Probe PlacementPlace the display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. Display 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.
