ACURITE
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ACURITE from 3G Electric.
What is the humidity measurement range for Acurite wireless weather stations?
Acurite wireless weather stations in the 3G Electric catalog, such as the 01096M and 01095M models, measure outdoor humidity from 1% to 99%. These units also display outdoor temperature as a primary scale, with indoor humidity and temperature shown as secondary readings. The wireless sensor configuration allows the outdoor sensor to be placed remotely while the display unit remains indoors. This range covers typical ambient humidity conditions and is suitable for monitoring comfort levels or environmental conditions in residential and commercial spaces.
Are Acurite refrigerator and freezer thermometers NSF certified?
Yes, certain Acurite refrigerator and freezer thermometers are NSF certified. The analog model 00696A2 and the digital model 00515M both carry NSF certification, indicating they meet sanitation and safety standards for food service applications. The analog model has a plastic case and glass lens, while the digital model features a stainless steel case and glass lens with an LCD display. Both offer ±2 °F accuracy. The digital version also includes customizable temperature alarms. These certifications make them suitable for commercial kitchens, cold storage, and other food-handling environments where compliance with food safety regulations is required.
What is the accuracy specification for Acurite food service thermometers?
Acurite food service thermometers, including the analog 00696A2 and digital 00515M models, are specified with an accuracy of ±2 °F. This means the displayed temperature may deviate from the actual temperature by up to 2 degrees Fahrenheit in either direction. This level of accuracy is typical for refrigerator and freezer monitoring applications and is sufficient for verifying that storage conditions remain within safe temperature ranges. The digital model 00515M also offers customizable temperature alarms, which can alert users when temperatures exceed or fall below set thresholds, supporting proactive food safety management.
What types of displays are available on Acurite desk and wall mount meters?
Acurite desk and wall mount meters in the 3G Electric catalog feature digital displays. Models such as the 00611A4, 02059MA1, 01096M, 01095M, 01094M, and 00592A4 all use digital readouts. These displays show primary and secondary scales, which may include outdoor humidity, outdoor temperature, indoor humidity, indoor temperature, time, and date. The digital format provides clear, easy-to-read numbers and often includes additional features like time and date. The meters are designed for desk or wall mounting, offering flexibility in placement. No analog desk and wall mount meters are listed in the current sample.
Can Acurite wireless sensors transmit through walls or to separate rooms?
Acurite wireless sensors are designed to transmit data from an outdoor sensor to an indoor display unit. The specific transmission range and obstacle penetration are not detailed in the provided specifications. In general, wireless sensors operate on radio frequencies that can pass through typical residential and commercial walls, but performance may vary based on construction materials, distance, and interference. The product summaries indicate that the sensors are wireless and provide readings to the desk or wall mount meter. For critical applications, users should test the sensor placement to ensure reliable transmission. 3G Electric can provide part numbers for compatible sensors if needed.
What is the difference between Acurite model 01096M and 01095M?
The Acurite 01096M and 01095M are both wireless weather stations with digital displays. Both measure outdoor humidity (1% to 99%) and outdoor temperature as primary scales, and indoor humidity and indoor temperature as secondary scales. The primary difference lies in their specific feature sets and part numbers, which may include variations in display layout, additional secondary readings, or sensor compatibility. The 01096M and 01095M are distinct models within the same product family, and the exact differences are not fully detailed in the provided summaries. For a detailed comparison, consult the individual product specifications or contact 3G Electric for assistance.
