KESTREL 5000 Portable Pocket Environment Meter

KESTREL 5000 Portable Pocket Environment Meter measure every major environmental condition with this powerful hand-held instrument – barometric pressure, station pressure (absolute pressure), altitude, density altitude, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed/air speed, wind chill, dew point temperature, wet bulb temperature, and heat stress index.

Kestrel 5000 features a large, high contrast screen, dual color backlight, scratch- and breakage-resistant window, corrosion-resistant battery compartment with secure door, intuitive user-interface, plus it tracks and logs over 10,000 sets of time-stamped data. Data log can be transferred to a mobile device wirelessly, or to a PC/MAC with the optional waterproof USB Data Transfer Cable (sold separately).

Combine the Kestrel 5000 with a portable vane mount and portable tripod (each sold separately) for a data-logging weather station that rotates in even the slightest breeze and is ideal for short-term monitoring. This versatile, waterproof instrument floats, features an easy-to-read backlit display, and has an auto shutdown feature which activates after 15 minutes without a button press (feature can be disabled).

Lanyard, protective pouch, lithium AA battery (average life 400 hours), certificate of conformity, and instruction manual are included. Five-year manufacturer’s warranty.
