SETUP
Sensor Setup
Placement for Maximum Accuracy
1 Set the A-B-C Switch
or rechargeable batteries are not
recommended.
The A-B-C switch is located inside the
battery compartment. Slide to set the
channel to A, B or C.
NOTE: If being used with a
companion product that has an A-B-C
channel, you must select the same
letter choice for both the sensor and
the product it is being paired with in
order for the units to synchronize.
The sensor requires lithium batteries
in low temperature conditions. Cold
temperatures can cause alkaline
batteries to function improperly. Use
lithium batteries in the sensor for
temperatures below -4ºF / -20ºC.
1. S
 lide off the battery compartment
cover.
2 Install or Replace Batteries
2. Insert 4 x AA batteries into the
battery compartment, as shown.
Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram
in the battery compartment.
AcuRite recommends high quality
alkaline or lithium batteries in
the wireless sensor for the best
product performance. Heavy duty
3. R
 eplace the battery cover.
AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper
placement of the sensor is critical to the accuracy and performance of this
product.
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 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.
Important Placement Guidelines
• Sensor must be within 330 feet (100 meters) of a companion unit
(sold separately).
A-B-C Switch
ABC
MAXIMIZE WIRELESS RANGE
Place unit away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other
objects that may limit wireless communication.
PREVENT WIRELESS INTERFERENCE
Place unit at least 3 feet (90 cm) away from electronic devices (TV, computer,
microwave, radio, etc.).
Install Batteries
4 AA batteries
LOCATE AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES
To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place sensor out of direct
sunlight and away from any heat sources.
LOCATE AWAY FROM HUMIDITY SOURCES
To ensure accurate humidity measurement, locate sensor away from humidity
sources. Avoid installing the sensor near indoor pools, spas, or other bodies of
water. Water sources may impact humidity accuracy.
Lightning Detection
PLEASE DISPOSE OF OLD OR DEFECTIVE BATTERIES IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE
WAY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
The sensor detects cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-ground and intra-cloud lightning.
When lightning is detected, the sensor will beep and the strike indicator will
flash for each of the first 10 strikes. After 10 strikes, the sensor will enter silent
mode but will continue to flash. The sensor will stay in silent mode for 2 hours
after the last lightning detection.
BATTERY SAFETY: Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Remove batteries from equipment which is not to be
used for an extended period of time. Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery compartment. Promptly remove dead batteries from the device. Dispose of used
batteries properly. Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended are to be used. DO NOT incinerate used batteries. DO NOT dispose of batteries in fire,
as batteries may explode or leak. DO NOT mix old and new batteries or types of batteries (alkaline/standard). DO NOT use rechargeable batteries. DO NOT recharge
non-rechargeable batteries. DO NOT short-circuit the supply terminals.
False Detection
This sensor features advanced technology to distinguish between lightning
strikes and interference, however in rare cases the sensor may "false detect"
lightning activity due to interference. In these situations, verify there is no
lightning in the area and then relocate the sensor. If the false detections persist,
identify and relocate the source of interference or relocate the sensor.
Interference
The sensor features enhanced interference rejection capabilities to prevent
false lightning detection. When the detector cannot detect lightning due to
interference from nearby equipment, the sensor's interference indicator will flash.
• Electric motors (windshield wiper motor or fan motors in cars, hard drive and
optical drive motors on your PC and AV equipment, well pumps, sump pumps)
• CRT monitors (PC monitors, TV's)
• Fluorescent light fixtures (turned off or on)
• Microwave ovens (while in use)
• PC's and mobile phones
WARNING: Take shelter IMMEDIATELY when lightning is present, whether or
not it has been detected by the Lightning Detector. If you are concerned about
lightning strikes, follow all safety precautions to keep yourself and others safe.
DO NOT rely on this Lightning Detector as your only source for warnings
about potentially deadly lightning strikes or other severe weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Interference
Indicator is flashing
Possible Solution
• Relocate the sensor.

(.9 m) away from electronics that may cause
interference (see Interference section above).
