Rugged Weather and Environmental Meters
Turn your Kestrel weather meter into a full-featured weather station with the Vane Mount attachment. Monitor up to 14 meteorological parameters, measured, calculated and displayed in real-time up close or remotely.
Turn your Kestrel weather meter into a full-featured weather station with the Vane Mount attachment. Monitor up to 14 meteorological parameters, measured, calculated and displayed in real-time up close or remotely.
The Kestrel 5500 series measures every environmental condition plus wind direction, crosswind and headwind/tailwind. Drop-proof, dust-proof, waterproof and able to withstand extreme environments without damage, your Kestrel weather meter travels with you anywhere you dare to go. In addition to measuring the current environmental conditions, the Kestrel 5500 tracks and logs over 10,000 sets of time-stamped data. Your data log can be transferred to a mobile device wirelessly with the LiNK wireless communication. Once the vane is mounted this meter becomes a full weather station.
LINK is a 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. 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.
