For years our customers have been asking for wind
direction along with wind speed.
New for 2007, the Kestrel 4500
does just that with its built in digital compass. But it
doesn’t
stop there. It also calculates crosswind and
headwind/tailwind
with reference to a user-set target heading, and stores
the information along with all the other environmental readings
in its 1400 data point memory.
Pair the 4500 Wind Meter with the Kestrel
Vane Mount and you have a data-logging
weather station that sets up in seconds and rotates in
the slightest
of breezes. Did we mention that the whole kit is the
ultimate
in portability? It packs down into a 2 x 6 inch pouch
and weighs
under 8 ounces.
New! This Kestrel Includes Bluetooth Wireless Technology!
Kestrel's reputation for accuracy and reliability has been earned over thirteen years of proven performance in extreme environments. In many instances, the key environmental measurements from a Kestrel instrument are input into other systems – ballistics calculators, fire behavior models, hazmat plume predictors, heat stress models, weather reports, research data sets and more. Now, both real-time and logged data can be transferred wirelessly and automatically to a laptop or PDA, making a Kestrel 4000 series weather meter the perfect tool for virtually any job that requires quick and truly accurate environmental data.
Data transmission range adjustment allows you to maximize power to communicate with your Kestrel at up to a 30 feet range, or reduce power for closer, more secure operation. Individual unit ID’s ensure you pair with the Kestrel you want, even when more than one system is operating in the same area.
