Troubleshooting

Problem

No outdoor sensor reception

no bars

Possible Solution

• Relocate the display unit and/or the 5-in-1 sensor.

The units must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other.

• Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet

(.9 m) away from electronics that may interfere with the wireless communication (such as TVs, microwaves, computers, etc).

• Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in sensor when temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC). Do not use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries. NOTE: It may take up to 20 minutes for display unit and sensor to synchronize after batteries are replaced.

• Synchronize the units:

1. Bring both the sensor and display unit indoors and remove batteries from each.

2. Reinstall batteries in outdoor sensor.

3. Reinstall batteries in display unit.

4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other for about 20 minutes to gain a strong connection.

Outdoor

temperature is flashing or showing dashes

Flashing of the outdoor temperature may be an indication of wireless interference.

• Make sure the A-B-C switch in the battery compartments of both the display unit and sensor are switched to the same letter. You may choose A, B or

C; but both units must match to sync up. Sometimes changing to a different channel can help.

Inaccurate forecast

• Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next

12 to 24 hours, not current conditions.

• Has Learning Mode icon disappeared from the display unit? Learning Mode must complete before forecast and pressure will be accurate.

• Allow unit to run continuously for 33 days. Battery removal or resetting the display unit will restart

Learning Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be fairly accurate, however Learning Mode calibrates for a total of 33 days.

14

Troubleshooting

Problem

Inaccurate temperature or humidity

No rainfall

Inaccurate wind readings

Display screen not working

Possible Solution

• Make sure both the display unit and 5-in-1 sensor are placed away from any heat sources or vents (see page 10).

• Make sure both units are positioned away from moisture sources (see page 10).

• Make sure 5-in-1 sensor is mounted at least 5 ft off of the ground.

• Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity (see page 16).

• Check to ensure the rain gauge stabilizer (plastic tab) has been removed from the bottom of the sensor (see page 7).

• Clear debris, such as leaves, out of the rain collector funnel and debris screen.

• Calibrate the Rain Gauge (see page 17).

• Verify the sensor’s internal tipping lever is moving freely by dripping a little water through the rain collector. You should hear the lever tipping. If you do not hear it, you may need to clean inside the sensor.

Video available at www.acurite.com/5in1

• What is wind reading being compared to? Pro weather stations are typically mounted at 30 ft high or more. Make sure to compare data using a sensor positioned at the same mounting height.

• Check location of the sensor. Ensure it’s mounted a minimum of 5 ft in the air with no obstructions around it (within several feet).

• Ensure wind cups are spinning freely. If they hesitate or stop try lubricating with graphite powder or spray lubricant.

• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.

Batteries may need to be replaced.

• Reset the display by pressing and HOLDING the

“CLEAR RECORD /RESET” button, located on the back of the display unit. Date and time will need to be entered after a reset.

Care & Maintenance

Display Unit Care

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives. Keep away from dust, dirt and moisture. Clean ventilation ports regularly with a gentle puff of air.

5-in-1 Sensor Care

Clean the Sensor

Clean with a soft damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives that will mar the polished surfaces of the rain collection funnel or the solar cell. Scratches will result in decreased performance and reliability.

Insect Prevention

Insects may cause obstructions and interrupt data by nesting in or on the 5-in-1 sensor.

To limit this problem, spray the OUTSIDE of the sensor with a household insect repellent.

Consult the insect repellent instructions prior to use.

Snow & Freezing Weather

The 5-in-1 sensor will not be damaged by freezing conditions. NOTE: If the rain collector cup fills with snow and then melts, it will register as rain on the display unit.

Clean the Rain Collector Cup

Remove and empty rain collector debris filter. The debris filter is located in the rain collector funnel. Remove from the top by gently squeezing and pulling out.

Clean the Wind Vane & Anemometer

Remove foreign matter from the outside of the sensor for free movement of the wind vane and anemometer. If needed, use a small amount of spray lubricant, clear silicone or graphite powder on the anemometer for improved movement.

Calibration

The indoor / outdoor temperature and humidity readings, and barometric pressure can be calibrated on the display unit to improve accuracy. Calibration can improve accuracy when sensor placement or environmental factors impact the data accuracy.

1. To access calibration mode, press AND HOLD the “ simultaneously for at least 5 seconds.

BAROMETRIC PRESSURE (must be set to MANUAL mode to calibrate)*

*To change from AUTO to MANUAL pressure mode and vice versa, press

AND HOLD the “SET” button for at least 10 seconds. The display indicates the current pressure mode selected,“AUTO” or “MANUAL”.

After 20 seconds of inactivity, the display will save the adjustments and exit calibration mode. Note: Calibrations will be erased if the display is reset or if batteries are removed and the power adapter is unplugged.

Calibrate the Rain Gauge

The rain gauge on the 5-in-1 sensor can be calibrated to improve accuracy.

Items Needed

: 5-in-1 sensor, display unit, plastic cup, pin, screw driver

1. First, ensure 5-in-1 sensor is perfectly level using built-in bubble level.

2. Place display unit close so you can monitor it during calibration.

3. Make a pin hole in the bottom of a plastic cup. Hold the cup over the rain gauge and fill it with exactly 1 cup (8oz) of water, allowing the water to drip into the rain gauge. You should hear the internal buckets tip and see water drain through the rain gauge.

4. A few seconds after each bucket tip, the display unit displays rainfall in approximately 0.01” or more increments.

5. The cup of water should take more than 20 minutes to empty; a quicker period will result in inaccurate calibration. Try to simulate a normal steady rainfall. When cup is empty of water, display unit should register 1.06”

Tips

• There should be nearly an equal number of water drops (about 25 water drops) between bucket tips. If not, adjust the calibration screws on the bottom of the 5-in-1 sensor until an equal number of water drops are tipping the buckets. Then, restart the calibration procedure.

• If you don’t hear the buckets tipping and see water dripping alternately out of each drain, there may be an issue with the rain gauge or it’s adjustment. See

Troubleshooting on page 15.

Adjustment

If the rain gauge doesn’t register close to 1.06”, make an EQUAL adjustment to the two calibration screws on the bottom of the 5-in-1 sensor. Turning screws clockwise increases rainfall; counter clockwise decreases rainfall.

• To adjust the rainfall reading by 2% turn both screws 1/8 of a turn.

17

• To adjust the rainfall reading by 4% turn both screws 1/4 of a turn.

• To adjust the rainfall reading by 8% turn both screws 1/2 of a turn.
