Acurite 00594W Professional Wireless Weather Station User Guide

Quick guide from the manual

This document provides instructions for the Acurite 00594W professional wireless weather station. Key steps include installing batteries in the sensors first, then the main unit, and performing the initial altitude and forecast setup. The system uses a 433MHz wireless signal with a range of up to 100 feet in open areas.

Mounting and placement

For optimal performance, avoid placing sensors near large trees, high radio frequency areas, Low-E glass, or thick concrete/brick walls. Do not mount units on metal surfaces. The wind sensor bracket must point North. Both sensors can be mounted on flat surfaces or 3/4 inch schedule 40 PVC pipe.

Battery installation

Important: Install batteries in the two wireless sensors before the main unit. Use fresh alkaline AA batteries. For outdoor units, lithium AA batteries are recommended if temperatures drop below -4°F. To replace batteries without losing data, ensure the main unit or sensors are not left without power for an extended period.

Initial set-up

Upon power-up, the unit enters the altitude and forecast setting mode for 30 seconds. You must have your local altitude ready to enter. Use the MAX(+) or MIN(-) buttons to set the altitude and weather forecast icon, confirming each step with the PRESSURE SET-UP button.

General operation

The main unit displays indoor/outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and barometric pressure. Use the DISPLAY button to toggle between wind chill, heat index, and dew point. The atomic clock automatically synchronizes with the WWVB signal from Fort Collins, Colorado.

Alarms and records

The device features programmable alarms for time, temperature, humidity, wind speed, and storm conditions. Press and hold the ALARM button for 3 seconds to enter alarm setting mode. The MIN/MAX buttons allow you to view daily and long-term weather records.

Maintenance

Clean the housing and screen with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents, and do not submerge any components in water. If the unit is damaged, do not attempt repairs; contact customer support at 877-221-1252.
