Acurite 5-in-1 anemometer not working
« on: July 08, 2019, 08:58:56 PM »
For whatever reason, my base display was getting no wind speed input from the 5-in-1.   I was getting all other inputs.   After reading numerous contributor's inputs on this forum, and checking various things, I have found a solution.   After removing the top of the unit, and lifting the black cover from over the circuit board, I sprayed the board with contact cleaner at close range to clean and blast away any debris that I couldn't see.   I used the cleaner liberally, then left the unit open to the air in an air conditioned room to dry the condensate that formed as a result of the cold spray and the SC humidity.   After about half hour I assembled the unit and, shazaam, I have a wind speed indication on my display again.    To test the input, I put the unit in front of a floor fan on low speed which gives me 3 mph wind speed.    Hope this helps someone else.
