AcuRite 06072M

I have the Atlas mounted on the roof. Is there an advantage to raising the wind instruments up by adding 5' of 1" aluminum conduit to the the Atlas unit wind mount and placing the wind instruments on top?

Easy to assemble. Good instructions.

I haven't installed this yet, but it will solve the problem of the wind damaging the unit with the whole station on top of a pole.We had a 60mph+ wind event that destroyed the whole station, l believe this would not have happened had just the anemometer been on the end of the pole with the rest of it mounted much lower

This unit makes it easy to mount your anemometer up high without hanging the whole station out of reach for battery changes etc.

Delivered on time. The AcuRite designed Wind Extender that I purchased from Weathershack works as designed with the AcuRite Atlas Weather Station.

The wind speed indicator did not want to stay tightly fit in the housing bayonet fitting. Had to use silicone on it.

Great item, very helpful with the extension as we have a lot snow

Didn't need this

Easy to setup, solid constructioj.

I bought this wind extension for my Atlas weather station. My only good location on my deck was too low for accurate wind speed and direction. So I created a pole using PVC and aluminum angle for support and mounted it to a fence post near the weather station. The ideal height is about 35 feet, I understand, but I settled for around ten to twelve feet. The kit comes with a 30 foot extension cable and an attachment that slides over the pole. You simply remove the anemometer and wind vane from the weather station and attach it to wind extension adapter. Slide this adapter over the top of the pole and tighten using the knob. Plug the cable into the connector of the weather station. Push it in firmly until it clicks. Make sure the adapter is oriented correctly per instructions in order to have the correct wind direction. Very nice.
