Acurite 06003RM 5-in-1 Sensor Pro Add-On Installation Guide

Quick guide from the manual

The Acurite 06003RM 5-in-1 Sensor Pro Add-On is designed to optimize sun exposure for your 5-in-1 sensor, allowing the solar-powered aspirating fan to run more frequently. This improves temperature measurement accuracy. Note that an existing 5-in-1 sensor is required for this installation.

Installation

Before beginning, ensure you have a Phillips head screwdriver. Follow these steps to install the Pro Add-On:

1. Remove the batteries from the 5-in-1 sensor to prevent erroneous data during handling.
2. Remove the 4 long screws and separate the upper white portion from the lower gray portion of the sensor.
3. Set aside the lower gray portion and the screws for reassembly.
4. Remove the 4 short screws located on the upper white portion near the fan assembly.
5. Gently remove the old upper wind speed/solar assembly from the rain gauge assembly and discard it.
6. Line up the screw holes on the new Pro Add-On with the rain gauge assembly.
7. Turn the upper white portion over and reinstall the 4 short screws; tighten by hand.
8. Reinstall the 4 long screws to connect the upper white portion and lower gray portion of the sensor.

Maintenance

To lubricate the sensor fan:

1. Remove the screw located below the sensor's wind cups. Keep the screw.
2. Spray a small amount of lubricant into the hole.
3. Tip the 5-in-1 sensor upside down (wind cups on the bottom), then right side up several times.
4. Reinsert the screw into the hole.

Safety and handling

The electronic components inside the 5-in-1 sensor are sensitive. Handle the device with care during the installation process.
