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
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
1. Insert the mounting base into the
hole on the bottom of the sensor.
2. Use one of the screws included in
the hardware bag to fasten the
lower sensor housing to the
mounting base.
3. Make sure the sensor is level using
a bubble level.
4. Fasten mounting base to a post or
railing using 2 screws.
Pole Mount
1. Insert 3/4” schedule 40 PVC (25.8 mm
O.D.) pole (not included) or similar item
all the way into the hole on the bottom of
the sensor. Note: Mounting base not used.
2. Use one of the screws included in the
hardware bag to fasten the lower sensor
housing securely to the pole.
3. Make sure the sensor is level using a
bubble level.
The 3-in-1 sensor is now ready to use.
Basic Setup is Complete
The 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 appear to
be functioning improperly, please refer to the troubleshooting section.

OPERATION
Using the Weather Center
Learning Mode
Self-Calibrating Forecasting use a unique algorithm to analyze changes in
pressure and temperature 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 Forecast
AcuRiteʼs 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.
Barometric Pressure
Subtle variations in barometric pressure greatly affect 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).
High & Low Records
The Record Highs & Lows button ( ) displays minimum and maximum
recordings for outdoor and indoor temperature and humidity. To select
between viewing daily (since midnight) or all-time records, slide the switch
located on the back of the display. To reset low records, press and hold the
( ) button while viewing low records. To reset high records, press and hold
the ( ) button while viewing high
records.
Wind Speed
The Wind area of the display features
WIND SPEED PEAK, AVERAGE,
CURRENT WIND SPEED, and a graphic
representation of current wind speed.
There is also a time stamp for the last
wind speed reading.
