Placement for Maximum Accuracy
AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper
placement of both the display and the outdoor sensor are critical to the
accuracy and performance of this product.
Display Placement
Place the display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. Display
stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable.
Outdoor Sensor Placement
Sensor must be placed outside to observe outdoor conditions.
Sensor is water-resistant and is designed for general outdoor
use, however, to extend its life place the sensor in an area
protected from direct weather elements.
Hang the sensor using the integrated hang holes or hanger, or
by using string (not included) to hang it from a suitable location,
like a well covered tree branch. The best location is 4 to 8 feet
(1 to 2 meters) above the ground with permanent shade and
plenty of fresh air to circulate around the sensor.
Important Placement Guidelines
•
To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place units out of direct
sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents.
•
Display and outdoor sensor must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other.
•
To maximize wireless range, place units away from large metallic items, thick
walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication.
•
To prevent wireless interference, place both units at least 3 ft (90 cm) away
from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).
