Atomic Clock
AcuRite atomic clocks use a
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
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
3-in-1 Sensor Placement
The
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.
