Quick guide from the manual
This document provides essential steps to set up your AcuRite Iris (5-in-1) Direct-To-Wi-Fi Display. It covers initial hardware setup, sensor synchronization, and connecting the device to your local Wi-Fi network to enable online weather data access.
Installation of sensor batteries
Open the outdoor sensor battery compartment and install four AA alkaline or lithium batteries. Lithium batteries are recommended for temperatures below -4°F (-20°C). Ensure the small A-B-C switch inside the battery compartment matches the setting on your display unit (default is A).
Display setup and configuration
Plug in the power adapter to turn on the display. Configuration starts automatically. Use the Up and Down buttons to navigate options and the Checkmark button to confirm settings, including:
- Clock (Hour/Minute/Daylight Saving Time)
- Date (Month/Day/Year)
- Units of Measurement (U.S. Standard/Metric)
- Wi-Fi Configuration
You can adjust these settings at any time by pressing the Gear button and selecting General Setup.
Mounting the sensor
For accurate readings, mount the AcuRite Iris sensor at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) off the ground, away from heat and humidity sources. Ensure the front solar cell faces south and the unit is level using the built-in bubble level. If using a Lightning Detection Sensor, mount it 5-8 ft. (1.5-2.4 m) off the ground in a sheltered area.
Connecting to Wi-Fi
- On your phone or computer, connect to the Wi-Fi network named AcuRite.
- Open a web browser and navigate to 192.168.4.1.
- Select your personal 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, enter the password, and save.
- Once the Wi-Fi icon on the display turns solid gray, reconnect your device to your home network and complete the setup via the My AcuRite app or myacurite.com.
