This document provides instructions for the AcuRite 06022RM display unit. Note that this display requires a compatible AcuRite 5-in-1 Weather Sensor (sold separately) to function. Ensure the product is registered at www.AcuRite.com to receive warranty service.
Display Unit Setup
To synchronize the display with your sensor:
- Set the A-B-C switch inside the battery compartment to the same letter as your 5-in-1 sensor.
- Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.
- Install 6 AA alkaline batteries (optional) as a backup power source to preserve records during power outages.
Set the Time, Date & Units
Press the SET button to enter setup mode. Use the up and down arrows to adjust values and press SET to confirm and move to the next preference. The order is: Clock Hour, Minute, Calendar Month, Date, Year, Temperature Units, Wind Speed Units, Rainfall Units, Pressure Units, Language, and Weather Ticker Speed. The unit will exit setup mode automatically after 20 seconds of inactivity.
Display Backlight Settings
When using the power adapter, the display remains at 100% brightness. Press the BACKLIGHT button to cycle through 60%, 30%, and AUTO DIM modes. In AUTO DIM mode, brightness adjusts automatically based on the time of day and year.
Rainfall Tracking
Press the RAINFALL button to cycle through historical data, including previous rainfall events, monthly totals, yearly totals, and all-time records. The icon on the display indicates when historical data is being viewed.
Calibration
To calibrate temperature, humidity, or barometric pressure, press and hold the up arrow, SET, and down arrow buttons simultaneously for at least 5 seconds. Use the arrow buttons to adjust values and press SET to save. Calibrations are erased if the display is reset or power is lost.
Troubleshooting
If you experience inaccurate readings, ensure the sensor is mounted at least 5 feet off the ground and away from heat sources or obstructions. For display issues, press and hold the CLEAR ALL/RESET button for 10 seconds to restore factory defaults.
