Setup Guide

Follow these steps to set up your AcuRite Iris (5-in-1) Home Weather Station.

Step 1: Powering the Display Unit

Plug the display unit into a power outlet using the provided power adapter. It is recommended to install 3 AAA backup batteries (not included) in the display unit's battery compartment to retain settings during power outages.

Step 2: Outdoor Sensor Preparation

Open the battery compartment of the 5-in-1 outdoor sensor. Locate the A-B-C switch inside the battery compartment and set it to match the A-B-C switch setting on your display unit. Install 4 AA batteries (not included) into the sensor's battery compartment. Ensure the rain gauge stabilizer is removed from the bottom of the sensor before mounting.

Step 3: Mounting the Outdoor Sensor

Mount the 5-in-1 outdoor sensor in an open area at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground. Ensure the front solar cell is facing south for optimal charging. Position the sensor away from heat and humidity sources (e.g., air conditioners, dryer vents). The sensor should be level for accurate rain reporting.
