Chaney Instrument 418 Manuel D’Utilisation

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to surrounding environmental conditions. Proper 

placement of both the display unit and outdoor sensor are critical to the 

accuracy and performance of this product.

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

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

Sensor must be placed outside to observe outdoor conditions. 

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.
Hang the sensor using the integrated hang holes or hanger, or 

by using string (not included) to hang it from a suitable location, 

like a well covered tree branch. The best location is 4 to 8 feet 

above the ground with permanent shade and plenty of fresh air 

to circulate around the sensor.  

• To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place units out of direct  

 

  sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents. 
• Display unit and outdoor sensor must be within 165 ft (50 m) of each other. 
• To maximize wireless range, place units 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.).

The sensor will now synchronize with the display unit. It may take a few 

minutes for synchronization to complete. Please refer to the troubleshooting 

section of this manual if anything appears to be functioning improperly.
