AcuRite 06017RM 5-in-1 Weather Sensor Display User Guide

Quick guide from the manual

This document provides instructions for the AcuRite 06017RM display unit. Note that this display requires an AcuRite 5-in-1 Weather Sensor (sold separately) to function. For optimal performance, use the included power adapter as the primary power source, with AA batteries installed as a backup to retain records during power outages.

Display Unit Setup

To ensure the display unit synchronizes with your sensor, you must match the A-B-C switch setting in the battery compartment of both devices. Once set, plug in the power adapter. It is recommended to install 3 AA alkaline batteries as a backup power source.

Set the Time & Date

Setting the time and date is essential for accurate history records:

• Press the up or down arrow buttons until SET CLOCK? appears on the display.
• Press the gear button to enter settings.
• Use the arrow buttons to adjust the hour and minutes, pressing the gear button to confirm each selection.
• Follow the same procedure for SET DATE? to configure the month, day, and year.

Select Measurement Units

You can toggle between standard (mph, °F) and metric (kph, °C) units:

• Navigate to SET UNITS? using the arrow buttons.
• Press the gear button and select STAND or METRIC.
• Confirm your selection, then choose your preferred wind speed units (MPH, KPH, or KNOTS).

Programmable Weather Alarms

You can set alarms for various weather categories:

• Select the desired weather category using the arrow buttons.
• Press and hold the alarm button until the SET indicator appears and the value flashes.
• Adjust the value with the arrow buttons and confirm with the gear button.
• Press the alarm button to activate the alarm; the ON indicator will highlight.

Care & Maintenance

Clean the display unit with a soft, damp cloth; avoid caustic cleaners or abrasives. Keep ventilation ports clear of dust. If readings are inaccurate, you can calibrate temperature and humidity by holding the up, down, and gear buttons simultaneously for 15-20 seconds until the CAL icon appears.
