Because every new impeller is calibrated in the wind tunnel at the USA factory, if your application demands regular calibration, simply pop in a new impeller and the Kestrel Wind Meter is restored to like-new factory calibration standards. The impeller is not glued or attached to the unit. The measurements from the wind impeller are taken magnetically. The patented impeller is user-replaceable by simply pushing it out with your thumbs, which means it can easily be replaced if it is damaged or worn. For superior accuracy, the impeller housing can rotate in the unit. The Kestrel 2000 wind meter can easily be switched between mph, km/h, ft/min, m/s, knots and Beaufort Scale.Īll Kestrel models can be fitted to a portable rotating wind vane mount and tripod, to create a very portable and accurate weather station.Įvery Kestrel Meter features a large, 1” impeller mounted on a sapphire jewel bearing, which means it starts rotating with the slightest puff of air. This allows the unit to provide a value that is more representative of the typical, ambient conditions rather than peak speeds for instantaneous blasts of air. The wind speed displayed is a 3 second rolling average. Rugged and durable, Kestrels are drop tested, waterproof and float if dropped in water. Innovatively designed for stability and accuracy in abrupt condition changes. Kestrel Weather & Environmental Meters are designed & manufactured in the USA and are backed by Kestrel’s 5-year warranty. Waterproof to IP67 (3ft/1m underwater for 30 minutes).Drop-Tested to US Military Specification MIL-STD-810G.
Patented External Isolated Temperature Sensor.High contrast, sunlight readable monochrome LCD display.Data hold feature, clock and backlit display for night use.
In addition, the Kestrel 2000's external temperature sensor and waterproof casing (it even floats) allow you to gauge the temperature of water and snow, as well as open air. The term is derived from the Greek word anemos. It is a common weather station instrument. Thanks to Kestrel's sensitive impeller technology, you get accurate wind speed info. An anemometer is a device that measures wind speed and direction. Capable of measuring both wind and temperature phenomena, the Kestrel 2000 Thermo Anemometer is a compact and durable weather meter that puts essential weather information in the palm of your hand. The Kestrel 2000 Pocket Weather Meter is the most elementary temperature and wind monitor in the Kestrel Meter collection. Slim ergonomic design with a rugged case and neck lanyard. External temperature sensor for fast, accurate readings. Although not as compact as the tiny, lithium-powered Skywatch meter, the Kestrel offers many more functions, and has a replaceable. Extremely sensitive units for accurate weather readings. The Kestrel anemometer reads wind speeds up to 78 knots, a limit that, while somewhat lower than other anemometers, should be academic for any kayakers who aren’t trying out for a BCU instructor’s certificate.
