About the Main Display Unit
This Acurite® Pool & Spa Thermometer allows you to monitor the water
temperature of your pool or spa from inside your house [up to 100 feet away].
The pool and spa thermometer also ieatures a history graph, which tracks
temperature changes irom‘i hour ago to 3 days ago This allows you to monitor
heating trends, Which can assist in reducing your energy costs. The history
graph also sen/es to give you an early warning when equipment is not heating
properly This thermometer also features a "FREEZE WARNING", which, when
activated Will alert you to the water temperature trending towards freezing
[SPF/0°C]. This can help to prevent costly freeze damage to your pool or spa
equipment. NOTE: THE MAiN DiSPLAY UNiT iS NOTWATERPROOF.
About the Wireless Sensor
This Acurite® Pool & Spa Thermometer features a Wireless sensor that provides
Water temperature data and broadcasts this iniormation to the main display
unit. This Wireless sensor uses 163th Wireless communication, which is
susceptible to interference from other electronic devices, metallic surfaces. and
thick stone building materials. For best results, it should be placed Within sight
oi the main display unit, and less than IOD‘ away.
The wireless sensor contains sensitive electronic components. Care must be
taken during setup and use to make certain the unit is not dropped or struck
The wireless sensor is sealed with a heavy-duty rubber gasket, which must be
evenly tightened to maintain a water tight seal. Do not open case near water.
A/B/C Wireless Selection
To allow for more than one weather station and wireless sensor network
to be used in close proximity, the main unit and the wireless sensor have
a small switch labeled “A B C" within the battery compartments. This
switch selects one of 3 wireless modes to use, and both switches MUST
be set in matching positions [either A, B, or C) for wireless
communication to take place successfully.
Battery Choice & Temperature Range
Extended periods oi cold temperatures i below —A°F / 720°C i can cause alkaline
batteries to function improperly. This Will cause the outdoor Wireless sensor to
stop transmitting temperature readings. Use lithium batteries in these low
temperature conditions to ensure continued operation for Wireless sensors placed
outdoors NOTE- Rechargeable batteries are not recommended due to higher
operating voltages.

Setup IS Now Complete
The wireless sensorwill soon send a signal to the main unit and the two units
will be synchronized. It may take a few minutes for synchronization to be
complete. If both or one of the units appear to be functioning improperly, refer
to the troubleshooting section in this manual
SECTION 3 - OPERATION
oHistory Graphing
The history graphing function automatically
records and stores temperature readings
and displays them in a graphical format.
This will help to save on energy costs, as
you can get a better idea of when to heat up
the pool or spa for future use. This feature
will also help you monitor if your pool/spa
equipment is heating properly.

The alarm icon on the display will continue to flash for up to 10 hours if not
turned off.
The Freeze Warning Alarm requires a few things to operate properly:
1. Batteries must be fresh and both units must be operational
2. The wireless signal must be received by the main unit
3. The wireless sensor must be located in the water of the pool or spa that you
wish to be alerted about freezing conditions occurring

display and you will hear an audible "beep" to confirm you have cleared the MAX
value.
GWireless Signal Reception Icon Tull
The main unit has a signal reception icon nearthe temperature display area. if
most or all four of the bars are present, wireless reception is good and no
action is required. if there are a low number of "bars" present, you may

This product uses 1:33th wireless radio frequency [RF] for communication.
RF is susceptible to interference from a wide variety of materials and
electronic devices. The FCC requires that such interference be allowed to
occur in some cases. You may occasionally experience a brief disruption in
communication. In the event of a communication disruption (low bars]. this
product is designed to search and acquire the wireless temperature sensor
signal again automatically
if the communication disruption continues for more than 12—le hours, there
may be electronic or physical interference present. You may need to relocate
the main display unit or the wireless water temperature sensor so that both
units are CLOSER to each other
See the troubleshooting section in the back of this manual for more
information.

may place the main unit on a table top or other flat surface using the
included detachable table top display stand.
]~ Placement of Wireless Sensor
The wireless sensor MUST BE PLACED IN THE WATER to observe the
water temperature and relay the temperature to the main unit
display The wireless sensor must be placed less than 100 feet [30 m]
from the main unit.
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE SENSOR IS SEALED PROPERLV AND THAT
ALL 5 SCREWS ARE SUFFICIENTLY AND EVENLYTIGHTENED
BEFORE PLACING THE WIRELESS WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR
iNTO THE POOL OR SPA [SEE DIAGRAM A ON PAGE A]
A tie off anchoring loop has been integrated into the wireless sensor
for your convenience The sensor should be secured to a ladder or
other structure to prevent it from drifting out of Wireless range With
the main display unit. Secure the sensor utilizing the integrated tie
off loop and a length of Waterproof cord or rope [not included].
CAUTIDN- when utilizing the tie off anchoring loop, make certain that
