Description

The Kestrel 2000 Pocket Weather Meter is the most basic temperature and wind meter in the Kestrel collection, combining a user-friendly interface with highly accurate atmospheric data readings.

Impeller:

Every Kestrel Meter features a large, 1” impeller mounted on a sapphire jewel bearing, which means it starts rotating with the slightest puff of air – 0.48 km/h to be exact! This patented impeller is user-replaceable by simply pushing it out with your thumbs, which means it can easily be replaced if it is damaged or worn. The measurements from the wind impeller are taken magnetically. The impeller is not glued or attached to the unit. Because every new impeller is calibrated in the wind tunnel at the USA factory, if your application demands regular calibration, simply pop in a new impeller and the Kestrel Wind Meter is restored to like-new factory calibration standards. The Kestrel 2000 can easily be switched between °F, °C, mph, km/h, ft/min, m/s, knots and Beaufort.

Measures:

Air, Water & Snow Temperature
Wind Chill
Current Wind Speed
Maximum Wind Gust
Average Wind Speed

The Kestrel 2000 is targeted towards outdoor enthusiasts. This meter offers all the features of the Kestrel 1000 with the addition of our patented external sensor that can read the temperature of air, water, and snow. Taking into account wind chill, its ideal for choosing your wetsuit or insulation on your day outside.

Sealing	Waterproof (IP67 and NEMA-6).
Operational Temperature Limits	-10 °C to 55 °C Measurements may be taken beyond the limits of the operational temperature range of the display and batteries by maintaining the unit within the operational range and exposing it to the more extreme environment for the minimum time necessary to take reading.
Storage Temperature	-30.0 °C to 60.0 °C
Size & Weight	12.2 x 4.8 x 2.8 cm, 102 g (including slip-on cover)

* NOTE: Accuracy calculated as uncertainty of the measurement derived from statistical analysis considering the combined effects from primary sensor specifications, circuit conversions, and all other sources of error using a coverage factor of k=2, or two standard deviations (2Σ).
