How It Works

AcuRite® Atlas™ is an

environmental monitoring station

that delivers key information

on current outdoor conditions

at its installation location. The

outdoor device contains sensors

that read temperature, humidity,

wind speed and direction, rainfall,

UV, light intensity, and optionally

lightning (requires optional

Lightning Detection Sensor; may

be purchased separately). These

readings are transmitted over a

433 MHz wireless radio frequency

to be received by the AcuRite

Atlas indoor HD display and/

or AcuRite® Access™. Readings

received by AcuRite Access can

be monitored and viewed online

from My AcuRite. Receivers may

not be included, and may be

purchased separately.

Mount Device Outdoors

AcuRite sensors are sensitive to

surrounding environmental conditions.

Proper placement of the outdoor device is

critical to the accuracy and performance

of this product.

Outdoor Device Placement

AcuRite Atlas is designed to remain outdoors all year long. Mount the

outdoor device in a location that meets all the requirements below:

Located within 330 feet (100 m) of receiving device

(AcuRite Atlas indoor display or AcuRite Access)

Some construction materials and other sources of

interference may reduce this distance.

At least 5 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground

Rear solar panel is facing south

Away from heat and humidity sources

Level for accurate rain reporting

Placement for Maximum Accuracy

Important Additional Placement Guidelines

Choose an open location with no obstructions above or around the outdoor device for the most accurate measurements.

Maximize Wireless Range

Place outdoor device away from large metallic items, thick

walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless

communication.

Maximize Temperature Accuracy

Position outdoor device away from heaters, air

conditioners, chimneys, exhaust vents, asphalt and

concrete (surfaces that radiate heat).

Maximize Humidity Accuracy

Avoid installing the outdoor device near pools, spas, or

other bodies of water.

Maximize Wind Accuracy

It’s recommended to mount the outdoor device at least

5 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground, higher is better for wind

measurement. The National Weather Service recommends

33 feet (10 meters) high. Avoid nearby wind obstructions

such as trees and buildings. Be sure to mount the outdoor

device securely, as swaying or shaking may cause

inaccurate rain or wind readings.

Note: Consider the optional Wind Extension kit (may be

purchased separately) to extend the wind speed and

direction sensors an additional 30 feet (9 meters) from

the outdoor device to maximize the accuracy of wind

measurements.

Locate Away from Sprinkler Heads

DO NOT install the outdoor device where it will be sprayed

by a sprinkler system. This may force water inside the

device.

Lightning Detection - Optional; May Be Sold Separately

When the lightning sensor is used, it allows the AcuRite Atlas sensor to detect lightning

strikes within 25 miles (40 kilometers), track total strikes and estimate the distance of the

most recent strike. The sensor detects cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-ground and intra-cloud light-

ning. See instructions included with the lightning sensor for installation guidelines.

When strikes are recorded for today, the display shows the total strike count along with the

estimated distance of the most recent strike. After 3 hours of no lightning activity, the dis-

play shows the total strike count for today along with how long it’s been since the last strike

was detected. If no strikes are recorded for today, the display shows the historical strike

count for the year along with how long it’s been since the last strike was detected.

Interference

The display features enhanced interference rejection capabilities to prevent false lightning

detection. When the sensor cannot detect lightning due to interference from nearby

equipment, the interference indicator will ﬂash on the display.

Sensor may detect interference if located near:

• Electric motors (windshield wiper motor or fan motors in cars, hard drive and optical

drive motors on your PC and AV equipment, well pumps, sump pumps)

• CRT monitors (PC monitors, TV’s)

• Fluorescent light ﬁxtures (turned off or on)

• Microwave ovens (while in use)

• PC’s and mobile phones

WARNING: Take shelter IMMEDIATELY when lightning is present, whether or not it has been

detected by the lightning sensor. If you are concerned about lightning strikes, follow all safety

precautions to keep yourself and others safe. DO NOT rely on this lightning sensor as your only

source for warnings about potentially deadly lightning strikes or other severe weather conditions.

Problem Possible Solution

No reception

no bars

• Relocate the display and/or the AcuRite Atlas® sensor.

The units must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other.

• Make sure both units are placed at least 3 ft (.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 heavy

duty or rechargeable batteries.

NOTE: It may take a few minutes for display and sensor to

synchronize after batteries are replaced.

• Navigate to the “Connections” sub-menu to remove and re-

add your sensor (see page 7).

• Conﬁrm the red light indicator on the bottom of the sensor

is blinking every 10 seconds. If it’s not blinking, perform a

factory reset on the display by navigating to the “Factory

Reset” sub-menu (see page 7).

Temperature is

showing dashes

When the outdoor temperature is showing dashes, it may be an

indication of wireless interference between the sensor and display.

• Re-add sensor to display by accessing the “Connections”

sub-menu (see page 7).

Inaccurate forecast

• Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next 12 to

24 hours, not current conditions.

• Allow product to run continuously for 33 days. Powering

down 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.

Problem Possible Solution

Inaccurate wind

readings

• What is wind reading being compared to? Pro weather

stations are typically mounted at 30 ft (9 m) or higher. 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 (1.5 m) 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.

Inaccurate temperature

or humidity

• Make sure both the display and AcuRite Atlas® sensor are

placed away from any heat sources or vents

(see page 6).

• Make sure both units are positioned away from moisture

sources (see page 6).

• Make sure AcuRite Atlas sensor is mounted at least 5 ft

(1.5 m) off of the ground.

• Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity (see

“Calibration” on page 7).

Display screen

not working

• Is the display in sleep mode? Press any button to wake it up.

• Check that the power adapter is plugged into the display and

an electrical outlet.

No rainfall

• 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.

• 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
