If your AcuRite Weather Station is not registering rainfall, first check to ensure the rain gauge stabilizer (plastic tab) has been removed from the bottom of the sensor. Then, clear any debris, such as leaves, from the rain collector funnel and debris screen. If problems persist, calibrate the Rain Gauge.
Why is my AcuRite 01531 outdoor temperature flashing or showing dashes?
If the outdoor temperature on your AcuRite Weather Station is flashing or showing dashes, it may be due to wireless interference. Check the A-B-C switch in the battery compartments of both the display and sensor. Ensure they are switched to the same letter (A, B, or C) on both units to sync. Sometimes, changing to a different channel can resolve the issue.
What to do if AcuRite 01531 shows inaccurate temperature or humidity?
If your AcuRite Weather Station is showing inaccurate temperature or humidity readings, make sure both the display and 5-in-1 sensor are placed away from any heat sources or vents. Ensure both units are positioned away from moisture sources. The 5-in-1 sensor should be mounted at least 5 ft off the ground. You can also calibrate the indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity.
Why AcuRite 01531 Weather Station inaccurate wind readings?
If your AcuRite Weather Station displays inaccurate wind readings, consider what the wind reading is being compared to. Pro weather stations are typically mounted at 30 ft high or more, so compare data using a sensor positioned at the same mounting height. Check the sensor's location, ensuring it’s mounted a minimum of 5 ft in the air with no obstructions around it (within several feet). Also, ensure the wind cups are spinning freely; if they hesitate or stop, try lubricating with graphite powder or spray lubricant.
What to do if AcuRite Weather Station display screen not working?
If the display screen of your AcuRite Weather Station is not working, verify that the batteries are correctly installed and replace them if needed. If that doesn't work, reset the display by pressing and holding the CLEAR ALL/RESET button located in the battery compartment. Note that you will need to enter the date and time after performing a reset.
Why is my AcuRite Weather Station forecast inaccurate?
An inaccurate forecast on your AcuRite Weather Station could be due to several reasons. The Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours, not current conditions. Also, Learning Mode must complete before the forecast and pressure will be accurate. Ensure the unit runs continuously for 33 days, as battery removal or resetting the display will restart Learning Mode. After 14 days, the forecast should be fairly accurate; however, Learning Mode calibrates for a total of 33 days.
How to fix AcuRite 01531 Weather Station no outdoor sensor reception?
If your AcuRite Weather Station shows no outdoor sensor reception, try these steps: * Relocate the display and/or the 5-in-1 sensor, ensuring they are within 330 ft (100 m) of each other. * Keep both units at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronics like TVs, microwaves, and computers to avoid wireless interference. * Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in the sensor when the temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC). Avoid heavy-duty or rechargeable batteries. * If you've replaced the batteries, allow a few minutes for the display and sensor to synchronize. * To synchronize the units, bring both the sensor and display indoors, remove power adapter/batteries from each, reinstall batteries in the outdoor sensor, reinstall power adapter/batteries in the display, and let...

The AcuRite Professional Weather Center, models 01512 and 01531, is a comprehensive weather monitoring system designed to provide accurate, personalized weather information. It consists of a 5-in-1 outdoor sensor and a color display unit, offering a wide range of features for both real-time data and forecasting.
The core function of the AcuRite Professional Weather Center is to measure and display various environmental parameters, including outdoor and indoor temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and rainfall. It utilizes a patented Self-Calibrating Forecasting algorithm that analyzes pressure changes over time to generate a personalized 12 to 24-hour weather forecast specific to your backyard location. The system also includes a "Weather Ticker" feature that automatically flashes real-time weather information and alerts as text on the display screen. Historical data tracking for rainfall (today, previous events, month, year, all-time) is also a key feature.
The display unit features a color LCD screen with adjustable backlight settings (High, Medium, Low, and Auto Dim mode). The Auto Dim mode automatically adjusts brightness based on the time of day and year, optimizing visibility and power consumption. Setup involves setting the A-B-C switch on both the sensor and display to the same channel for synchronization. Batteries are required for the 5-in-1 sensor, with lithium batteries recommended for temperatures below -4°F (-20°C). The display unit can be powered by the included AC adapter, with optional AA batteries for backup. The display allows users to set the time, date, and preferred units for temperature (°F or °C), wind speed (MPH, KPH, Knots), rainfall (in or mm), and pressure (inHg or hPa). The "Weather Select" button allows users to cycle through various data categories like heat index, dew point, wind chill, "feels like" temperature, days with rain this month, and days since last recorded rainfall. The "RAINFALL" button provides access to historical rainfall data. The "Learning Mode" icon on the display indicates the self-calibration process for the weather forecast, which typically disappears after 14 days, signifying that the unit is tuned to your location for accurate predictions. Alerts are provided for wind speed (over 50 mph), storm conditions (barometric pressure drops), and heat index/wind chill extremes. The "Weather Ticker" provides continuous updates and alerts in text format.
The AcuRite Professional Weather Center is designed for ease of use and provides comprehensive weather data to help users plan their day with confidence.
