If your ACU-RITE Weather Station display screen isn't working, first, ensure the batteries are correctly installed or try replacing them. If that doesn't work, reset the display by pressing the reset button on the back. Remember to enter the date and time after the reset.
What to do if my ACU-RITE 01010 shows no rainfall?
If your ACU-RITE Weather Station isn't showing rainfall, check these items: 1. Make sure you've removed the rain gauge stabilizer (plastic tab) from the bottom of the sensor. 2. Clear any leaves or debris from the rain collector funnel and debris screen. 3. Check if the sensor’s internal tipping lever is moving freely by dripping a little water through the rain collector. If you don't hear the lever tipping, clean inside the sensor.
Why are wind readings inaccurate on my ACU-RITE Weather Station?
If your ACU-RITE Weather Station is showing inaccurate wind readings, consider these points: * Compare your readings to those from a sensor at a similar mounting height. Pro weather stations are often 30 ft high or more. * Make sure the sensor is at least 5 ft in the air, free from obstructions. * Check that the wind cups spin freely; lubricate them with graphite powder or spray lubricant if they hesitate.
What to do if outdoor temperature is flashing on ACU-RITE 01010 Weather Station?
If your ACU-RITE Weather Station's outdoor temperature is flashing or showing dashes, it could be due to wireless interference. Ensure the A-B-C switch in both the display unit and sensor are set to the same letter (A, B, or C). Sometimes, switching to a different channel can resolve the issue.
Why is temperature or humidity inaccurate on ACU-RITE Weather Station?
If your ACU-RITE Weather Station is showing inaccurate temperature or humidity, ensure the display unit and sensor are away from heat or moisture sources. Also, the sensor should be mounted at least 5 ft off the ground. You can also calibrate the indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity.
How to fix no outdoor sensor reception on ACU-RITE Weather Station?
If your ACU-RITE Weather Station shows no outdoor sensor reception, try these steps: 1. Relocate the display unit and/or the 5-in-1 sensor so that they are within 330 ft (100 m) of each other. 2. Ensure both units are at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronics that may cause interference. 3. Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in the sensor when temperatures are below -4ºF/-20ºC). Avoid heavy-duty or rechargeable batteries. 4. Synchronize the units by bringing them indoors, removing and reinstalling batteries in both, and letting them sit close together for about 20 minutes.

This document describes the AcuRite Professional Weather Center, model 01010, a comprehensive system designed to provide personalized weather forecasts and detailed environmental data. The system consists of a 5-in-1 outdoor sensor and an indoor display unit, working together to offer accurate and reliable weather information.
The AcuRite Professional Weather Center serves as a personal weather station, collecting and displaying various weather parameters to help users plan their day with confidence. Its core function is to provide a 12 to 24-hour weather forecast, which is self-calibrating and personalized based on data collected from the 5-in-1 outdoor sensor in the user's backyard. This self-calibration process, known as "Learning Mode," analyzes changes in barometric pressure over time to determine the user's altitude, becoming more accurate after 14 days and fully calibrated after 33 days.
The 5-in-1 outdoor sensor is a multi-functional device that measures wind speed, wind direction, outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, and rainfall. These measurements are wirelessly transmitted to the indoor display unit. The display unit then processes and presents this data in an easy-to-read format, along with additional indoor environmental readings.
Key weather data displayed includes:
The system also includes programmable weather alarms for various categories like outdoor humidity, outdoor temperature, storm alert, indoor humidity, indoor temperature, wind chill, dew point, heat index, rain, and wind speed. These alarms provide audible beeps and flash the affected category on the display when programmed values are reached or specific weather events occur (e.g., rain starts, significant pressure drop for storm alert).
Setting up the AcuRite Professional Weather Center involves a few straightforward steps to ensure optimal performance. Both the 5-in-1 sensor and the display unit have an A-B-C switch in their battery compartments. It is crucial to set both switches to the same letter (A, B, or C) for the units to synchronize properly.
For the 5-in-1 sensor, four AA batteries are required. Lithium batteries are recommended for temperatures below -4°F (-20°C) as alkaline batteries may not function correctly in extreme cold. Before use, a rain gauge stabilizer (a plastic tab) taped into the bottom of the sensor must be removed to allow the rain gauge to function. The sensor should be mounted at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground in an open area, free from obstructions, and with its solar cell facing SOUTH to ensure maximum sun exposure and proper wind direction orientation. A built-in bubble level assists in level installation for accurate wind measurements.
The display unit requires three AA alkaline batteries. Once batteries are installed in both units and the A-B-C switches match, the units will synchronize. This process may take a few minutes. After installation, any erroneous data collected during setup can be cleared by pressing the "CLEAR TODAY" button on the back of the display unit.
Setting the time and date is important for accurate time-stamping of history records. This is done through the display unit's "SET" button and arrow buttons, allowing adjustment of hour, minute, month, day, and year. Users can also select measurement units (standard or metric) for wind speed, temperature, and other parameters.
The display unit features a tabletop stand and is wall-mountable, offering flexibility in placement. It should be placed in a dry area, free of dirt and dust, and away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or vents to ensure accurate indoor temperature measurements.
For optimal wireless communication, the display unit and sensor should be within 330 feet (100 meters) of each other and at least 3 feet (0.9 meters) away from electronic devices that could cause interference.
Programmable alarms enhance the user experience by providing timely alerts. To set an alarm, users select the desired weather category, press and hold the alarm button to enter programming mode, adjust the alarm value using the arrow buttons, confirm with the "SET" button, and then activate the alarm. When an alarm sounds, it will beep and flash the relevant category. Alarms can be snoozed or turned off.
Proper care and maintenance are essential for the longevity and accuracy of the AcuRite Professional Weather Center.
The system allows for calibration of temperature, humidity, and rainfall readings to improve accuracy, especially if sensor placement or environmental factors impact data.
