Put weather on your side with the Kestrel 5100 series racing weather meter. The compact, portable design makes this unit easy to take to the track. It measures moisture content in grains, air density, relative air density, humidity and other critical factors. In addition to measuring the current environmental conditions, the Kestrel 5100 tracks and logs over 10,000 sets of time-stamped data for comparison to your actual run times later.
This racing weather meter features LINK for Windows and MAC. Simple communication to Windows and Mac computers is provided through the optional LiNK .USB Dongle or USB Data Transfer Cable. Download your data to view, analyze and archive. Enables firmware update of Kestrel 5 series meters. Also features LINK for IOS and Android (coming soon). Wirelessly connect with iOS and Android devices. When in range, view real-time measurements, receive on-screen alerts and download your data. Logged data can be viewed, analyzed, archived and shared via e-mail, Facebook and Twitter. Enables firmware update of Kestrel 5 series meters. NOTE: Range up to 100' line of sight – reduced by walls and obstructions.
Improved tripod mount, waterproof data transfer cable make the Kestrel 5 Series the most user friendly innovative line ever.
