3 AAA batteries Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper

placement of both the display and rain gauge 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.

Important Placement Guidelines

• Display and rain gauge must be within 100 ft (30 m) of each other.

• To maximize wireless range and communication, install the rain gauge at

least 3 ft (.9 m) above ground. Place both the display and the rain gauge

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 (0.9 m) away

from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.)

post, with screws (included) using hand tools. (Power tools may slip during

installation, causing damage to the rain gauge.)

Rain Gauge Installation

• To ensure accurate rain measurement, the rain gauge MUST be

placed on a at, level surface.

• Ensure the rain gauge is not placed in a low spot that could become

ooded or in an area where there are obstructions above it.

OPERATION

Using the Rain Gauge

Troubleshooting

No rainfall:

Display shows

dashes

Dashes indicate that the display and rain gauge are not

synchronized.

• Relocate the display and/or the rain gauge. The units

must be within 100 ft (30 m) of each other.

•

Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet (0.9 m)

away from electronics that may interfere with the

wireless communication (such as TVs, microwaves,

computers, etc).

• Use standard alkaline batteries. Do not use heavy

duty or rechargeable batteries. NOTE: It may take a

few minutes for display and rain gauge to synchronize

after batteries are replaced.

• Try resetting the units:

1. Bring both the display and rain gauge indoors and

position side by side.

2. Remove the batteries from both units.

3. Reinstall batteries in the rain gauge rst.

4. Reinstall batteries in the display last.

5. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other

for a few minutes to gain a strong connection.

No rainfall:

Display shows

zeroes

Remove rain gauge cover. Does the tipping lever ip

back and forth easily? Try tipping it manually to see

if it will register this as rain. If not try the reset steps

listed above.

Rainfall registering

when there’s

no rain

• Make sure the rain gauge is mounted securely so that

it cannot move or sway in the wind. The rain gauge

should be mounted on a solid and level surface in a

clear area away from any overhead obstructions that

may block rainfall.

• Make sure you are using standard alkaline batteries

(not heavy duty, max or rechargeable).

Can the rain gauge

remain outdoors in

freezing temperatures?

No, the rainfall gauge should be brought indoors when

there is a possibility of freezing temperatures. Water

expands when it freezes. If any water is left within the

collector during a freeze, it can crack the plastic and

cause permanent damage.

Display screen

not working

• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.

Batteries may need to be replaced.

the troubleshooting steps, visit www.AcuRite.com or email
