Atomic Clock

AcuRite atomic clocks use a radio-controlled signal to synchronize to the correct time broadcast by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Radio Station WWVB, located near Fort Collins, Colorado. WWVB broadcasts the current time and date with split-second accuracy.

This AcuRite atomic clock will maintain itself to the correct time, and automatically adjust itself for daylight saving time to provide the most accurate timekeeping standard possible.

Please note: The atomic signal generally takes a few hours to synchronize, so it is important to manually set the time and date after powering on the display.

Set the Time, Date & Units

The clock and calendar are utilized to time stamp history records and other data, so it is important to set the time and date soon after you power on the display unit.

Press the “SET” button to enter SET MODE. Once in set mode, the preference you are currently setting will blink on the display.

To adjust the currently selected (flashing) item, press and release the “ ” or “ ” buttons (press and HOLD to fast adjust).

To save your adjustments, press and release the “SET” button again to adjust the next preference. The preference set order is as follows:

TIME ZONE (PST MST CST EST AST HAT [HAST] AKT [AKST]) AUTO DST (Automatically adjust time -/+ on DST dates)

CLOCK HOUR

CLOCK MINUTE CALENDAR MONTH CALENDAR DATE CALENDAR YEAR

UNITS: TEMPERATURE (ºF or ºC)

UNITS: WIND SPEED (mph, kph, knots)

UNITS: PRESSURE (inHg or mb)

You will automatically exit SET MODE if no buttons are touched for 30 seconds. Enter basic setup mode at any time by pressing the “SET” button.

Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of both the display unit and the sensor 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. To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents. Display unit stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable.

3-in-1 Sensor Placement

The 3-in-1 sensor is designed to remain outdoors all year long. Choose an open location with no obstructions above or around the sensor for the most accurate measurements.

Important Placement Guidelines

Display unit and sensor must be within 330ft (100m) of each other.

MAXIMIZE WIRELESS RANGE

Place units away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication.

PREVENT WIRELESS INTERFERENCE

Place both units at least 3ft (.9m) away from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).

LOCATE AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES

Position sensor away from heaters, air conditioners, chimneys, exhaust vents, asphalt and concrete (surfaces that radiate heat).

LOCATE AWAY FROM HUMIDITY SOURCES

Avoid installing the sensor near pools, spas, or other bodies of water. Water sources may impact humidity accuracy.

LOCATE AWAY FROM SPRINKLER HEADS

DO NOT install the sensor where it will be sprayed by a sprinkler system. This may force water inside the sensor.

LOCATE AWAY FROM WIND & RAIN OBSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT mount the sensor with obstructions around it. Consider a location that is a wide open area, with few structures around to ensure accurate wind speed measurement.
