Outdoor Device PlacementAcuRite Atlas is designed to remain outdoors all year long. Mount the outdoor device in a location that meets all the requirements below:

Located within 330 feet (100 m) of receiving device (AcuRite Atlas indoor display or AcuRite Access)

Some construction materials and other sources of interference may reduce this distance.

Rear solar panel is facing south

Mount Device Outdoors Placement for Maximum AccuracyImportant Additional Placement Guidelines Choose an open location with no obstructions above or around the outdoor device for the most accurate measurements.

Maximize Wireless Range Place outdoor device away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication.

Maximize Temperature AccuracyPosition outdoor device away from heaters, air conditioners, chimneys, exhaust vents, asphalt and concrete (surfaces that radiate heat).

Maximize Humidity Accuracy Avoid installing the outdoor device near pools, spas, or other bodies of water.

Maximize Wind AccuracyIt’s recommended to mount the outdoor device at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground, higher is better for wind measurement. The National Weather Service recommends 33 feet (10 meters) high. Avoid nearby wind obstructions such as trees and buildings. Be sure to mount the outdoor device securely, as swaying or shaking may cause inaccurate rain or wind readings.Note: Consider the optional Wind Extension kit (may be purchased separately) to extend the wind speed and

direction sensors an additional 30 feet (9 meters) from the outdoor device to maximize the accuracy of wind measurements.

Locate Away from Sprinkler Heads DO NOT install the outdoor device where it will be sprayed by a sprinkler system. This may force water inside the device.
