Sure! Here are the step-by-step instructions for installing the AcuRite Atlas 06072 Wind Extension:

1. Start by removing the Wind Assembly from the AcuRite Atlas outdoor device. Hold the Wind Assembly firmly by the base, turn it counter-clockwise to unlock, and lift to remove. Make sure not to lift or hold it by the wind cups or wind vane.

2. Unplug the connector between the Wind Assembly and the AcuRite Atlas outdoor device.

3. Open the Connection Compartment Door on the Extension Base.

4. Run Cord Connector-A on the Extension Cord through the Connection Compartment in the Extension Base.

5. Plug Cord Connector-B into the Wind Assembly's connector.

6. Combine the Wind Assembly with the Extension Base by turning the Wind Assembly clockwise. Firmly press the Connector into the strain relief slot in the Connection Compartment for stability. Then, close the Connection Compartment.

7. Mount the combined Wind Assembly Extension Base on a pole away from the AcuRite Atlas outdoor device, within range of the Extension Cord. Ensure that the Connection Compartment Door is facing south to maintain proper wind direction orientation. For accurate wind measurements, it is recommended to mount the anemometer 33 feet (10 meters) above ground and avoid nearby wind obstructions such as trees and buildings.

8. Run the Extension Cord from the Extension Mount to the AcuRite Atlas outdoor device, securing any extra slack. Distribute the slack evenly to avoid interference by wrapping the cord around itself several times in one location.

9. Plug Cord Connector-B into the AcuRite Atlas outdoor device connector.

10. Use the Rubber Guard to prevent water and debris from entering the AcuRite Atlas outdoor device. Tuck in the connected cord and place the Rubber Guard over the hole.

Optional:
If the AcuRite Atlas is mounted on the same pole as the Wind Extension, you can cut the Rubber Guard to accommodate the pole's diameter. Carefully cut a hole in the Rubber Guard just large enough to fit around the pole.
