Re: My Acurite 5 in 1
I am very impressed so far with this new sensor, and it's only been up a few hours.

Nice! Good to know. I got my tracking numbers today from Acurite so at least I know mine is on the way.

A position close to trees, especially a wooded area, will also have an affect on your dewpoint.
View ArticleRe: station placment
I didn't think about it affecting dew point. I will have to figure something out. I like living in the woods but its not the best when trying to figure out where to place a weather sensor

I received my unit today, and sure enough, it came with the new sensor so I'll try to get a refund for the one I ordered separately. I have a broken ankle so if I can get a neighbor to help me out...

Re: My Acurite 5 in 1
Some bad news. I installed the new sensor up at 20 feet, and now after a few hours, the anemometer is stuck. I've got to take it back down again and oil it I suppose? Don't they oil them at the factory?

I gave it a try tonight, but as soon as I bridge the the two connections, the wifi disconnects. Anyone else experienced this?

My anemometer appears to be sticking once in a while. It freed itself this morning but as I watch it, the thing will just stop like there is something rubbing. Then it will run smooth for a while and...

A big thanks to Kevin for working with me last night via email, but I just could not get it to work on my old XP machine. The software was fine. The problem had to do with the bridging of my LAN...

Sucks when there's a problem from the factory like that. Have you contacted Acurite to see if they'll send a replacement?
View ArticleRe: My Acurite 5 in 1
No. I don't want to have to send it back, and then wait and wait. If there should develop a worsening condition, I will see what they will do for me. I am disappointed that they had not oiled the...

Acurite 5 in 1 mounting question
I had a question about mounting my weather station. I just picked up an Acurite 02032c from Costco. This is my first weather station. I am heavily in to home automation and thought this would be a...

You want to do what you can to keep the sensor from rocking. Slightly should be OK, but any jerking will set off the rain gauge. What I did was mount a thicker pole as the bottom support, and then took...

I don't know if oiling is a good idea. Over the long term the oil may attract contaminants (dirt, dust, etc). I bring this observation from working on outdoor power equipment, not from my weather...

dport,Thanks for posting. How far above the 4x4 is the conduit extending? Do you know what diameter conduit you used?
View ArticleRe: Acurite 5 in 1 mounting question
The diameter is 1.25 inches. The conduit extends about 5 feet above the 4x4. If you were to look at the back of the post the conduit starts about 3 feet up on the 4x4. I used two metal brackets to...

To my knowledge, the max diameter that can fit the 5 in 1 is 1 inch.
