Introduction
The Acurite® Professional Weather Center with Integrated
Multi-Sensor collects outside weather data and sends the data via
wireless signal to the included Display Console via a low-power
radio frequency. This weather center has been designed to be
easy to install and use, without compromising any of the
professional weather tracking features you want.
The Acurite® Integrated Multi-Sensor is completely wireless and
contains a self-emptying rain collector for measuring rainfall,
temperature/humidity sensor, anemometer, and a wind vane. The
anemometer measures wind speed, and the wind vane measures
wind direction. The Integrated Multi-Sensar is battery powered
and features a solar panel for running an internal aspirating fan.
The internal fan will assist in drawing ambient air through to
reduce the heating effects of solar radiation, resulting in a more
accurate air temperature measurement.
The sleek display console houses a liquid crystal display (LCD)
which will calculate and display all the weather data received
from the Integrated Multi—Sensor outside. The Display Console can
be powered via AC power utilizing the included AC adapter, or it
can be powered with batteries. The Display Console has
professional weather features such as alarms for high and low
conditions, daily/all time record highs and lows, and an area for
displaying a multitude of extra weather information- the Weather
Ticker“.
The Weather Ticker‘M display area will display extra weather
details that are relevant to the current and upcoming conditions.
For example, when a new high temperature is recorded, the
weather ticker will display ”NEW HIGH TEMPERATURE
RECORDED: 92°F."
Please read through this manual to learn more about the Acurite®
Professional Weather Center. Keep this maunual for future
reference.

Q. Q
Atmospheric Pressure
Atmospheric Pressure is defined as the pressure at any location on
the Earth, caused by the weight of the column of air above it. At sea
level, atmospheric pressure has an average value of one atmosphere
and gradually decreases as altitude increases. Also called
barometric pressure
The weight of the atmosphere that envelopes Earth exerts pressure
on all points of the planet's surface. Meteorologists use barometers
to measure this atmospheric pressure [also called barometric
pressure). At sea level the atmospheric pressure is approximately I
kilogram per square centimeter [14.7 pounds per square inch),
which will cause a column of mercury in a mercury barometer to rise
760 millimeters (30.4 inches). Variations in the atmospheric pressure
greatly affect the weather. Low pressure generally brings rain. in
areas of low air pressure, the air is less dense and relatively warm,
which causes it to rise. The expanding and rising air naturally cools,
and the water vapor in the air condenses, forming clouds and the
drops that fall as rain. In high pressure areas, the air is dense and
relatively coal, which causes it to sink. The water vapor in the sinking
air doesn’t condense, resulting in clear skies.

features a pressure FORECAST PRESSURE

RAINTALL EVENT:
The "RAINFALL EVENT” display will give you the rainfall total from
the current rain event. A weather system may come into your area
very slowly, and may rain over many hours or days without many
breaks. The rainfall event total accounts for this and will continue to
display the total until the rain event is over.
RAINFALL MONTH TOTAL:
The "MONTH" display will give you the rainfall total from the

is located within the rain funnel- remove from the top gently by
squeezing and pulling out).
Remove any foreign matter on the outside of the housing to allow for
free movement of wind vane and anemometer.
INSECTS: in most cases, insects will not pose a problem. However, in
some instances, insects may cause repeated obstructions to weather
measurement by nesting or building homes in or on the integrated
wireless sensor. In these cases, it may help to spray the housing with
a commercially available home insect guard/repellent product (not
included) to limit the problem. Please consult the insect repellent
manufacturers instructions and safety information before using.

The integrated wireless sensor is designed and engineered to provide
accurate measurements, the internal fan aspiration ensures a proper
ambient air temperature in most cases.
If you feel that the placement or other environmental factors are
allecting the indoor or outdoor temperature or humidity readings,
the display console features a calibration feature for the indoor and
outdoor temperature and humidity. This allows you to adiust the
temperature or humidity reading up or down to compensate for the
allected reading.
