5-in-1 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, 2ʼx4ʼ wood, 3/4” pipe, etc. (not included)
LEVEL INSTALLATION
Use the bubble level on the top of the sensor to ensure
level installation for accurate wind and rain measurement.
SOLAR CELL ORIENTATION
Install the sensor with the
solar cell facing SOUTH
. This
ensures the cell receives as much sun as possible, and orients wind direction.
PC Connect Overview
PC Connect lets you access your Weather Center data in the following ways:
• Data File:
Display unit logs (or stores) data so that you can download it to a
PC in a data file (CSV or comma-separated values file).
• PC Weather Widget:
View data on your PC's screen as a widget.
• Web Browser or Smartphone:
Monitor sensor data remotely using AcuRiteʼs
free Acu-Link online software, or from a mobile device using the free
Acu-Link app, available from the iPhone App Store or Android Market.
5-in-1 Sensor Installation
1. Fasten mounting base (included)
to a post or pole (not included)
using the 4 longer screws
included in the hardware bag.
2. Insert the mounting base into the
hole on the bottom of the sensor.
3. Make sure the arrows on the top
of the sensor are pointed in the
proper direction and the bubble
level is centered. The solar cell
should be facing south to
properly orient the wind
direction vane.
3. Fasten the sensor into the
mounting base using the 2
shorter screws included in the
hardware bag.
The 5-in-1 sensor is now
