Placement for Maximum Accuracy
AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper
placement of the sensor is critical to the accuracy and performance of this product.
3-in-1 Sensor Placement
The 3-in-1 sensor is designed to remain outdoors all year long.
Choose an open location with no obstructions above or around the
sensor for the most accurate measurements.
Important Placement Guidelines
Sensor must be within 330 feet (100 m) of companion unit (not included).
MAXIMIZE WIRELESS RANGE
Place sensor away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other
objects that may limit wireless communication.
LOCATE AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES
Position sensor away from heaters, air conditioners, chimneys, exhaust vents, asphalt
and concrete (surfaces that radiate heat).
LOCATE AWAY FROM HUMIDITY SOURCES
Avoid installing the sensor near pools, spas, or other bodies of water. Water sources
may impact humidity accuracy.
LOCATE AWAY FROM SPRINKLER HEADS
DO NOT install the sensor where it will be sprayed by a sprinkler system. This may
force water inside the sensor.
LOCATE AWAY FROM WIND OBSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT mount the sensor with obstructions around it.
Consider a location that is a wide open area, with few
structures around to ensure accurate wind speed measurement.
