Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper

placement of both the display unit and outdoor sensor are critical to the

accuracy and performance of this product.

Display Unit Placement

Place display unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. Display

stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable. For wall

mounting, hang using the keyhole located on back of the unit.

Outdoor Sensor Placement

Sensor must be placed outside to observe outdoor conditions. Sensor

is water resistant and is designed for general outdoor use, however,

to extend its life place the sensor in an area protected from direct

weather elements.
Hang the sensor using the integrated hang holes or hanger, or by

using string (not included) to hang it from a suitable location, like a

well covered tree branch. The best location is 4 to 8 feet above the

ground with permanent shade and plenty of fresh air to circulate

around the sensor.
