Set the Reading Calibration of a Sensor

Follow

When sensor placement or an environmental factor may affect a sensor's readings, setting a calibration can improve its accuracy.

You can set the readings of a sensor to a positive or negative degree of calibration. When a reading calibration is adjusted, the reading is offset by the set amount. For example, setting the temperature calibration to '-10' results in the readings being displayed 10 degrees lower than the sensor actually recorded.

NOTE: How to set the reading calibration is determined by the type of Connection Device the sensor is linked to:

  • AcuRite Access® - set in the profile of the sensor. (See below)
  • PC Connect Display - reading calibrations are required to be set directly in the PC Connect software. The calibrated readings are sent to My AcuRite®.
  • Direct to Wi-Fi Display - set in the profile of the sensor. (See below)

When sharing with Weather Underground:

  • AcuRite Access® - readings sent to Weather Underground do not have calibrations applied - due to sensor readings being sent directly from the device and not My AcuRite®. Calibrated readings are only displayed in My AcuRite®.
  • PC Connect Display - when reading calibrations are set directly in the PC Connect software, the readings are sent with calibrations to Weather Underground and My AcuRite®.
  • Direct to Wi-Fi Display - readings sent to Weather Underground do not have calibrations applied - due to sensor readings being sent directly from the device and not My AcuRite®. Calibrated readings are only displayed in My AcuRite®.
