AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of both the display and
the sensor are critical to the accuracy and performance of this product.
Display Placement
Place the display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To ensure accurate temperature measurement,
place out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents. Display stands upright for
tabletop use or is wall-mountable.
5-in-1 Sensor Placement
The 5-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
Display and sensor must be within 330 feet (100 m) of each other.
MAXIMIZE WIRELESS RANGE
Place units away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless
communication.
PREVENT WIRELESS INTERFERENCE
Place both units at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).
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 & RAIN 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 measurement.

5-in-1 Sensor Installation Guidelines
INSTALLATION HEIGHT Mount the sensor at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground in an open area. Higher is
better for wind measurement- the National Weather Service recommends 33 feet (10 meters) high!
MOUNTING OPTIONS The included mounting bracket is designed to screw directly onto wooden posts or
surfaces that are 2”x 4” or larger. The sensor can also be mounted directly to a 3/4” steel pipe (available at
hardware stores and home centers).
