There's a new Weather Meter in town and it's tougher, smarter & faster than ever! The Kestrel 5 Series platform adds many new features and options. If you’re familiar with the Kestrel 4500, the first thing you’ll notice is the larger, higher-resolution and contrast display and improved font readability. The Kestrel 5 series also includes a built-in dual color backlight, extra-strong polycarbonate lens and AA battery operation and offers optional LiNK iOS and Android wireless connectivity and app support. Like all Kestrel meters, the Kestrel 5000 is drop-proof, dust-proof, waterproof and able to withstand harsh environments without damage – so it can travel with you anywhere you dare to go. A range of carry pouch options makes it even easier to take your Kestrel meter with you. Each Kestrel Meter is manufactured in the USA, comes with a Certificate of Conformity as well as a generous 5 Year manufacturers warranty!
Features
Benefits |
|
Kestrel LiNK for mobile |
Android and iOS apps put crucial information at your fingertips with real-time remote data viewing on phones and tablets up to 100’ away. Kestrel LiNK also provides easy data export, threshold alerts and simple firmware updates. |
LiNK wireless connectivity powered by Bluetooth Smart |
Robust, easy connectivity to both iOS and Android mobile devices as well as Windows and Mac computers. (Computers require optional Kestrel USB Dongle.) |
Low profile, lightweight, waterproof cable provides wired connectivity to Windows and Mac computers for fast data uploads and firmware updates. Compatible with every model in the Kestrel 5 Series. (Available in our Accessories Section) |
|
Small, secure, robust vane mount turns any Kestrel 5 Series meter into a portable weather station that remains oriented into the wind. (Included in some models where noted, otherwise sold as optional accessory.) |
|
Large, high contrast screen |
Easily readable text in almost any setting, including bright sunlight, with more visible information on the screen at all times. This high-resolution display is easy on the eyes, allowing you to get more information from customizable user screens, charting and graphing options without causing eye strain or fatigue. |
Dual color backlight |
Toggle backlight color between standard white and night-vision-preserving red (NV). The red NV backlight features an optical wavelength selected to help users sustain natural night vision and reduced brightness to avoid detection during night maneuvers. |
Secure battery door |
Large, O-ring sealed door provides easy, tool-free battery access. |
Scratch and breakage-resistant window |
Rigid, polycarbonate lens with scratch-coating protects the display from damage. |
Corrosion-resistant battery compartment |
Battery is isolated from electronics, reducing damage in the event of a battery leak. (Note – Lithium AA batteries strongly recommended to avoid battery leakage altogether.) |
Intuitive user-interface |
Icon-based navigation, intuitive keypad, and multiple languages make the Kestrel a breeze to use. |
