Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions.

Proper placement of both the display unit and rain collector are critical

to the accuracy and performance of this product.

Display Unit Placement

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

Display unit stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable.

Important Placement Guidelines

• Display unit and rain collector must be within 165 ft (50 m) of each other.

• To maximize wireless range and communication, install the rain collector

at least 3 ft (.9 m) above ground. Place both the display and the collector

away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects

that may limit wireless communication.

• To prevent wireless interference, place both units at least 3 ft (.9 m) away

from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.)

Rain Collector Installation

• To ensure accurate rain measurement, the rain collector MUST be placed on

a at, level surface.

• Ensure the rain collector is not placed in a low spot that could become

ooded or in an area where there are obstructions above it.

DO NOT

PLACE IN WATER OR

IN UNEVEN OR LOW

SPOTS THAT MAY

BECOME FLOODED.

PLACE ON A LEVEL

SURFACE AT LEAST

3 FEET FROM THE

GROUND WITH NO

OBSTRUCTIONS ABOVE.

DO NOT

PLACE IN AREAS WHERE

PLANT GROWTH CAN

GROW INTO CASE AND

OBSTRUCT RAIN FLOW

THROUGH COLLECTOR

DO NOT

PLACE IN AN

AREA WITH

OBSTRUCTIONS ABOVE

1. Separate the rain collector cover from the rain collector base.

2. Locate the two holes on the rain collector base.

3. Fasten the rain collector base to a sturdy surface, like a deck railing or a

fence post, with screws (included) using hand tools. (Power tools may slip

during installation, causing damage to the rain collector.)

OPERATION

Using the Rain Gauge

Modes & Historical Data

Press the MODE button to view rainfall data for different modes. While a mode

is being viewed, press the CLEAR button to erase the reading being viewed or

press the HIST. button to view historical readings. You will automatically exit

HIST. mode if no buttons are pressed for 30 seconds. Enter HIST. mode at any

time by pressing the HIST button.

EVENT Mode

When EVENT mode is selected, rainfall data is shown for the most recent

rainfall. An event ends when no rainfall has been detected for 8 hours. An

event may be a brief drizzle, or a multi-day storm.

To display the last 7 rain event rainfall totals, press the HIST. button. Each time

the HIST. button is pressed, one rain event is displayed with the event’s time

and date. To clear an event from memory, press AND HOLD the CLEAR button

while the event is being viewed. Clearing data from EVENT mode does not

impact other modes.

1 DAY Mode

When 1 DAY mode is selected, rainfall data is shown for today.

To display the DAILY RAIN for the last 7 days, press the HIST. button. Each

time the HIST. button is pressed, the total rainfall recorded for the day will be

shown with the time rainfall started (if applicable) and date. To clear any DAY

rainfall total from memory, press AND HOLD the CLEAR button while the data

for the day is being viewed. Clearing a day’s rainfall data will subtract that

rainfall amount from the WEEK, TOTAL A and TOTAL B modes.

WEEK Mode

When WEEK mode is selected, rainfall data is shown for the past calendar

week (Sunday through Saturday).

To display the WEEKLY RAIN for the last 7 weeks, press the HIST. button. Each

time the HIST. button is pressed, the total rainfall recorded for the week will

be shown with the time rainfall started (if applicable) and date. To clear any

WEEK rainfall total from memory, press AND HOLD the CLEAR button while

the data for the week is being viewed. Clearing a week’s rainfall data will

subtract that rainfall amount from TOTAL A and TOTAL B modes.

TOTAL A/B Mode

TOTAL A and TOTAL B are total rainfall measured since the rain gauge was

powered on or since the last time the mode was cleared. To display the start

time and date for TOTAL A or TOTAL B, press the HIST. button. To clear

TOTAL A or TOTAL B mode, press AND HOLD the CLEAR button while the

mode is being viewed.

Alarms

Flood Watch Alarm

Press the FLOOD WATCH button to activate or deactivate the FLOOD WATCH

ALARM. When the alarm is ON and ood and saturation conditions are

present, an alarm will sound and the FLOOD WATCH indicator will highlight

on the display. Flood conditions include:

> 3” (76.2 mm) in the last 7 days, and then >0.7” (17.78 mm) in the last 2 hours or

>1” (25.4 mm) in the last 24 hours

> 2.3” (58.4 mm) in the last 4 days, and then >0.7” (17.78 mm) in the last 2 hours or

>1” (25.4 mm) in the last 24 hours

> 1.5” (38.1 mm) in the last 2 days, and then >0.7” (17.78 mm) in the last 2 hours or

>1” (25.4 mm) in the last 24 hours

> 1.4” (35.6 mm) in the last 2 hours

> 1.6” (40.6 mm) in the last 8 hours

> 1.8” (45.7 mm) in the last 24 hours

If ood or saturation conditions occur, the alarm sounds for 1 minute or until

any button is pressed. If no buttons are pressed, the FLOOD WATCH indicator

will ash on the display, and the alarm will sound three times on the hour for

the next 8 hours.

NOTE: The rain gauge measures rainfall even while the ood alarm is off.

Rain Alarm

Press the RAIN ALARM button to activate or deactivate the RAIN ALARM.

When the alarm is ON and any rainfall is detected an alarm will sound and

the RAIN ALARM indicator will highlight on the display. The alarm sounds for

1 minute or until any button is pressed. If no buttons are pressed, the alarm will

stop and the RAIN ALARM icon will ash for up to 30 minutes.

NOTE: The FLOOD WATCH ALARM and RAIN ALARM are NOT intended to

be a safety device or warning system.

Troubleshooting

No rainfall:

Display shows

dashes

Dashes indicate that the display unit and rainfall

collector are not synchronized.

• Relocate the display unit and/or the rainfall collector.

The units must be within 165 ft (50 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. Do not use heavy

duty or rechargeable batteries. NOTE: It may take up

to 20 minutes for display unit and rainfall collector to

synchronize after batteries are replaced.

• Try resetting the units:

1. Bring both the display unit and rainfall collector

indoors and position side by side.

2. Remove the batteries from both units.

3. Reinstall batteries in the rain collector rst.

4. Reinstall batteries in the display unit last.

5. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other

for 20 minutes to gain a strong connection.

No rainfall:

Display shows

zeroes

Remove rain collector cover. Please make sure that you

have removed the foam rain gauge stabilizer. Does

the tipping lever ip back and forth easily? Try tipping

it manually to see if it will register as rain. If not, try

the reset steps listed above.

Rainfall registering

when there’s

no rain

• Make sure the rain collector is mounted securely so

that it cannot move or sway in the wind. The rain

collector should be mounted on a solid and level

surface in a clear area away from any overhead

obstructions that may block rainfall.

• Make sure you are using standard alkaline batteries

(not heavy duty, max or rechargeable).

Can the rainfall collector

remain outdoors in

freezing temperatures?

No, the rainfall collector should be brought indoors when

there is a possibility of freezing temperatures. Water

expands when it freezes. If any water is left within the

collector during a freeze, it can crack the plastic and

cause permanent damage.

Display screen

not working

• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.

Batteries may need to be replaced.
