Kestrel 5200 Professional Environmental Meter
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Kestrel 5200 eliminates the guesswork from difficult projects like pouring concrete, balancing HVAC systems, and monitoring job site conditions with its integrated specialty calculations.
The Kestrel 5200 offers advanced calculators and readings that are unique in the portable meter market and are designed to make your job easier. In addition to measuring current environmental conditions, the Kestrel 5200 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 option and Kestrel LiNK app, or to a PC/MAC with either the accessory Kestrel LiNK Dongle or waterproof USB Data Transfer Cable (available separately).
Construction
The Kestrel 5200 has the American Concrete Institute Evaporation Rate nomograph built in, and displays the Evaporation Rate right on screen with no calculation or error-prone interpolation. With that information in hand, decisions about additives to the mix or curing adjustments can be made, prevent costly plastic shrinkage cracks of the slab. Plus, the Kestrel 5200 allows you to monitor wind-loading on booms and cranes, and even track the heat index on your work site to keep your workers safe.
HVAC
Volume air flow couldn’t get any easier than this. Simply input the duct shape and dimensions and traverse the Kestrel 5200 across the duct. You’ll get instantaneous and average volume air flow without the need for any geometry or calculations. readings that greatly assist in commissioning and performance balancing HVAC systems. While not a replacement for a balometer, the Kestrel 5200 is far less expensive and can save you time and money. The Kestrel 5200 also offers every commonly-used measurement of moisture content in air, making life easy to determine dehumidification needs.
LiNK (Bluetooth)
The 5200 with LiNK Bluetooth Connectivity, gives you the option to transfer data wirelessly to an iOS (iPhone, iPad) device or Android smartphone or tablet when within range using the appropriate app (See Below). Also with the 5200 with LiNK Meter, you can transfer data wirelessly to a Windows or Mac computer using the optional Kestrel Bluetooth USB Dongle.

Wind Speed |
|
| Units of Measure: | mph | kt | B | m/s | ft/min / km/h |
| Specification Range: |
|
| Operational Range: |
|
| Resolution: |
|
| 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: |
|
| Operational Range: |
|
| Resolution: |
|
| Accuracy (+/-): |
|
| Notes: | Airflow of 2.2 mph|1 m/s or greater provides fastest response and reduction of insolation effect. For greatest accuracy, avoid direct sunlight on the temperature sensor and prolonged sunlight exposure to the unit in low airflow conditions. Calibration drift is negligible for the life of the product. For further details, see Display & Battery Operational Temperature Limits. |
|
Pressure |
|
| Units of Measure: | inHg, hPA, mb |
| Specification Range: |
|
| Operational Range: |
|
| Resolution: |
|
| Accuracy (+/-): |
|
| 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. |

Excellent meter very accurate!
Great meter
nice lightweight and accurate meter received next day, I like the multiple functions! My HVAC guy says when using humidity function, breathing will affect it so set it down someplace away from humans! very accurate anemometer and temp
This meter is awesome for use in the HVAC field.
Unit worked grate for what I need to log down on my reports
