Placement for Maximum Accuracy
AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper
placement of both the display unit and outdoor sensor are critical to the
accuracy and performance of this product.
Display Unit Placement
Place display unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. Display
stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable. For wall
mounting, hang using the keyhole located on back of the unit.
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 above the
ground with permanent shade and plenty of fresh air to circulate
around the sensor.
