Product Usage Instructions

Setup

AcuRite Iris Sensor Setup

  1. Set the A-B-C Switch – Locate the A-B-C switch inside the
    battery compartment. Set the A-B-C switch to A, B or C. You must
    select the same letter choice for both the sensor and the companion
    unit (not included) in order for the units to synchronize.
  2. Install or Replace Batteries – Batteries MUST be installed for
    this product to operate. Locate and remove the rain gauge
    stabilizer (plastic tab) taped into the bottom of the sensor. The
    rain gauge will not function until this is removed. AcuRite
    recommends high-quality alkaline or lithium batteries for the best
    product performance. Heavy-duty or rechargeable batteries are not
    recommended.

Placement for Maximum Accuracy

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental
conditions. Proper placement of both the display and the sensor are
critical to the accuracy and performance of this product.

AcuRite Iris Sensor Placement

The AcuRite Iris 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

  • Installation Height – Mount the sensor at a minimum height of 5
    feet (1.5 meters) off the ground, in an open area. Higher is better
    for wind measurements – the National Weather Service recommends 33
    feet (10 meters) high!
  • Mounting Options – The included mounting bracket is designed to
    screw directly onto wooden posts or surfaces that are 2x 4 or
    larger. The sensor can also be mounted directly to 3/4 steel pipe
    (available at hardware stores and home centers).
  • Solar Cell Installation – Install the sensor with the solar
    cell facing SOUTH. This ensures the cell receives as much sun as
    possible and orients wind direction.

Placement for Maximum Accuracy
AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper placement of both the display and the sensor are critical to the accuracy and performance of this product.
AcuRite Iris Sensor Placement The AcuRite Iris 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 and sensor must be within 330 feet (100 meters) 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 units at least 3 feet (.9 m) 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 measurement.

NO OBSTRUCTIONS ABOVE OR AROUND
SOUTH

1. Fasten mounting base (included) to a post or pole (not included) using the 4 longer screws included in the hardware bag.

2. Insert the mounting base into the hole on the bottom of the sensor.

3. Make sure the arrows on the top of the sensor are pointed in the proper direction and the bubble level is centered. The solar cell should be facing south to properly orient the wind direction.

(1.5 meters)

4. Fasten the sensor into the mounting base using the 2 shorter screws included in the hardware bag.

The AcuRite Iris sensor is now ready to use.

Basic Setup is Complete
The AcuRite Iris sensor will now synchronize with the display. It may take a few minutes for synchronization to complete. If both or one of the units appear to be functioning improperly, please refer to the troubleshooting section.

5

Calibrate the Rain Gauge
The rain gauge on the AcuRite Iris sensor can be calibrated to improve accuracy. Items Needed: AcuRite Iris sensor, companion unit, plastic cup, pin, screw driver
1. First, ensure AcuRite Iris sensor is perfectly level using built-in bubble level. 2. Use compatible companion unit or AcuRite software to monitor during calibration. 3. Make a pin hole in the bottom of a plastic cup. Hold the cup over the rain gauge and fill it with exactly
1 cup (8oz) of water, allowing the water to drip into the rain gauge. You should hear the internal buckets tip and see water drain through the rain gauge.
4. A few seconds after each bucket tip, the companion unit displays rainfall in approximately 0.01″ or more increments.
5. The cup of water should take more than 20 minutes to empty; a quicker period will result in inaccurate calibration. Try to simulate a normal steady rainfall. When cup is empty of water, companion unit should register 1.06″
Tips
·There should be nearly an equal number of water drops (about 25 water drops) between bucket tips. If not, adjust the calibration screws on the bottom of the AcuRite Iris sensor until an equal number of water drops are tipping the buckets.
Adjustment
If the rain gauge doesn’t register close to 1.06″, make an EQUAL adjustment to the two calibration screws on the bottom of the AcuRite Iris sensor. Turning screws clockwise increases rainfall; counter clockwise decreases rainfall.
·To adjust the rainfall reading by 2% turn both screws 1/8 of a turn.
·To adjust the rainfall reading by 4% turn both screws 1/4 of a turn.
·To adjust the rainfall reading by 8% turn both screws 1/2 of a turn.

Troubleshooting
Problem
No outdoor sensor reception no bars
Outdoor temperature is flashing or showing dashes
Inaccurate forecast
Inaccurate temperature or humidity
No rainfall

Possible Solution
If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars: · Relocate the display and/or the outdoor sensor.
The units must be within 330 ft (100 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 (or lithium batteries in sensor when temperature is below -4°F/-20°C). Do not use heavyduty or rechargeable batteries. NOTE: It may take a few minutes for display and sensor to synchronize after batteries are replaced.
Flashing of the outdoor temperature is generally an indication of wireless interference.
1. Bring both the sensor and display indoors and remove batteries from each. 2. Make sure the A-B-C switches on both units match. 3. Reinstall batteries in the outdoor sensor. 4. Reinstall batteries in the display. 5. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other for a few
minutes to gain a strong connection.
· Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours, not current conditions.
· Has Learning Mode icon disappeared from the display? Learning Mode must complete before forecast and pressure will be accurate.
· Allow unit to run continuously for 33 days. Battery removal or resetting the display will restart Learning Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be fairly accurate, however Learning Mode calibrates for a total of 33 days.
· Make sure both the display and sensor are placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents (see page 6).
· Make sure both units are positioned away from moisture sources (see page 6).
· Check to ensure the rain gauge stabilizer (plastic tab) has been removed from the bottom of the sensor.
· Clear debris, such as leaves, out of the rain collector funnel and debris screen.
· Calibrate the rain gauge (see separate AcuRite Iris® sensor manual).
· Verify the sensor’s internal tipping lever is moving freely by dripping a little water through the rain collector. You should hear the lever tipping. If you do not hear it, you may need to clean inside the sensor.

Troubleshooting Cont’d

Problem

Possible Solution

Inaccurate wind readings

· What is wind reading being compared to? Pro weather stations are typically mounted at 30 ft high or more. Make sure to compare data using a sensor positioned at the same mounting height.
· Check location of the sensor. Ensure it’s mounted a minimum of 5 ft in the air with no obstructions around it (within several feet).
· Ensure wind cups are spinning freely. If they hesitate or stop try lubricating with graphite powder or spray lubricant.

Display screen not working

· Check that the batteries are installed correctly. Batteries may need to be replaced.
· Reset the display by pressing and holding the RESET button, located in the battery compartment of the display. Date and time will need to be entered after a reset.
