Acu-Rite #02036WB User Manual

The sensor MUST BE PLACED OUTDOORS to observe outdoor 

temperatures. Sensor must be placed less than 330 ft (100 m) 

from the display console. Sensor is water resistant and is 

designed for general outdoor use, however, to extend its life 

place the sensor in an area protected from direct weather 

elements. To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place 

out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.

There are 2 placement options for the sensor: Hang using the 

integrated hang holes, or use string (not included) to hang 

from a suitable location, like a well-covered tree branch.

Precision Forecasting provides the weather forecast for the next 

4-hour, 4 to 8-hour, and 8 to 12-hour time periods. Precision 

Forecasting continuously analyzes your sensor data and updates the 

forecast icons and high/low temperatures accordingly. 

The weather forecast icon will display one of 18 different weather 

conditions. The moon will show (as a simplified Moon Phase) instead 

of the sun when the forecast time period occurs overnight.

Below is an example of a few forecast icons:

Once setup is complete, choose a suitable location to place the indoor 

display console and outdoor sensor:

Place the display console 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. Console 

stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable. Adjust 

display tilt to your preferred viewing angle.

This weather station uses wireless radio frequency for data 

communication, which is susceptible to interference from electronics, 

large metallic items and thick walls. To prevent interference, place both 

the display console and the sensor at least 3 feet (.91 m) away from 

appliances (TV, microwave, radios, etc.), large metal surfaces, thick 

stone walls, etc.
