High resolution weather meter that measures 14 meteorological parameters up close or remotely from 100' away with LINK. Mount a vane on this meter and it becomes a full featured weather station.
High resolution weather meter that measures 14 meteorological parameters up close or remotely from 100' away with LINK. Mount a vane on this meter and it becomes a full featured weather station.
Turn this weather meter into a portable weather station with the LINK and vane mount features. Your data logs can be transferred to a mobile device wirelessly. The vane mount securely mounts to the 5500 to any tripod and the vane and precision pivot keeps the Kestrel oriented into the wind for continuous measurement and logging of wind speed, wind direction, and all other key weather parameters. The LINK app also displays the Kestrel's real-time readings on a vivid, customizable dashboard providing remote functions up to 100' away.
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.
