US Manufacturing

The entire Kestrel line is designed and built in the USA. No other handheld weather meter is. Some electronic components have to be sourced overseas these days, but Kestrel buys American wherever possible. Kestrel believes US manufacturing is the only way to ensure that every Kestrel will do its job right. Kestrel believes it’s important to do its part to keep manufacturing alive and well in the US.

Wind Speed
Units of Measure:	mph \| kt \| B \| m/s \| ft/min / km/h
Specification Range:	0.6 to 40.0 m/s 118 to 7,874 ft/min 2.2 to 144.0 km/h 1.3 to 89.5 mph 1.2 to 77.8 knots 0 to 12 B* 2-131.2 F/S*
Operational Range:	0.6 to 60.0 m/s 118 to 11,811 ft/min 2.2 to 216.0 km/h 1.3 to 134.2 mph 1.2 to 116.6 knots 0 to 12 B* 2-196.9 F/S*
Resolution:	0.1 m/s 1 ft/min 0.1 km/h 0.1 mph 0.1 knots 1 B
Accuracy (+/-):	Larger of 3% of reading, least significant digit or 20 ft/min
Notes:	1 inch\|25 mm diameter impeller with precision axle and low-friction Zytel® bearings. Startup speed stated as lower limit, readings may be taken down to 0.4 m/s \| 79 ft/min \| 1.5 km/h \| .9 mph \| .8 kt after impeller startup. Off-axis accuracy -1% @ 5º off-axis; -2% @ 10º; -3% @ 15º. Calibration drift < 1% after 100 hours use at 16 MPH \| 7 m/s. Replacement impeller (PN-0801) field installs without tools (US Patent 5,783,753). Wind speed calibration and testing should be done with triangle on impeller located at the top front face of the Kestrel. *F/S only in Ballistics units. Beaufort not available in Ballistics units.
Ambient Temperature
Units of Measure:	Fahrenheit, Celsius
Specification Range:	-20.0 to 158.0 °F -29.0 to 70.0 °C
Operational Range:	14.0.0 to 131.0 °F -10.0 to 55.0 °C
Resolution:	0.1 °F 0.1 °C
Accuracy (+/-):	0.9 °F 0.5 °C
Notes:	Hermetically sealed, precision thermistor mounted externally and thermally isolated (US Patent 5,939,645) for rapid response. Airflow of 2.2 mph\|1 m/s or greater provides fastest response and reduction of insolation effect. Calibration drift negligible. Thermistor may also be used to measure temperature of water or snow by submerging thermistor portion into material -- remove impeller prior to taking submerged measurements and ensure humidity sensor membrane is free of liquid water prior to taking humidity-based measurements after submersion.
Pressure
Units of Measure:	inHg, hPA, mb
Specification Range:	25°C/ 77°F 750-1100 hPa\|mbar 22.15-32.48 inHg 10.88-15.95 PS
Operational Range:	0.30 to 48.87 inHg 10.0 to 1654.7 hPa\|mbar 0.14 to 24.00 PSI 14.0 to 131.0 °F -10.0 to 55.0 °C
Resolution:	0.1 hPa\|mbar 0.01 inHg 0.01 PSI
Accuracy (+/-):	1.5 hPa\|mbar 0.044 inHg 0.022 PSI
Notes:	Monolithic silicon piezo-resistive pressure sensor with second-order temperature correction. Between 1100–1600 mbar, unit will operate with reduced accuracy. Sensor may not operate above 1600 mbar and can be damaged above 6,000 mbar or below 10 mbar. Calibration drift is negligible for the life of the product.
Relative Humidity
Units of Measure:	%
Specification Range:	5 to 95% 25°C non-condensing
Operational Range:	0 to 100%
Resolution:	0.1 %RH
Accuracy (+/-):	3%RH
Notes:	To achieve stated accuracy, unit must be permitted to equilibrate to external temperature when exposed to large, rapid temperature changes and be kept out of direct sunlight. Calibration drift is typically less than ±0.25% per year.

Calculated Measurements

Kestrel 3550DT Manual and Complete Sensor Specifications

Description

Maximize efficiency and ensure safety with the Kestrel 3500 Delta T Crop Spraying Meter.

Delta T allows you to accurately assess acceptable spraying conditions to ensure you're within guidelines and help you select the right spray nozzle. (Delta T is the difference between wet bulb and dry bulb temperatures. It's an accurate predictor of chemical evaporation rates.)

The Kestrel 3500 Delta T incorporates barometric pressure correction in its wet bulb temperature calculation, ensuring accuracy even on low pressure days, at high altitudes, and in very dry weather when Delta T monitoring is important. No other pocket weather meter offers this feature with this level of accuracy.

Love it, exactly what I expected and accurate. Perfect for Hawaii's environment.

This is an amazing little device, it is just what I wanted for my sprayer, it stores easily in my armrest and quickly gives me the vital information I need to record before I begin application!

Simple, nice, excellent.

Great product easy to use and reliable. I use it for weed control and fox/cat trapping/control. AllKestrel.com was awesome. Product was on my door in 4 days. 100% satisfied and would recommend them to anyone (and have).
