The Kestrel 5000 Pocket Weather Meter is the baseline wind and weather meter in the Kestrel 5000 series. While the Kestrel 5000 Pocket Weather Meter is similar in wind and weather monitoring functions available with the Kestrel 3500 Wind Meter, it has several advantages such as Bluetooth connectivity, data storage, graphing functions, and computer interface technology. It has the capacity to store up to 10,000 data points of weather data, enabling you to track changes in the environment over time, view these changes as graphs on your Kestrel 5000's display, and even upload the data to your PC or Mac.
The advantage the Kestrel 5000 provides to scientists, athletes, firefighters, automotive technicians, and agricultural specialists is immeasurable. With Kestrel 5000 technology, you will not only know the current weather conditions, but be able to track changes in the environment and therefore make predictions as to what may happen next.
The Kestrel 5 Series also offers LiNK, Kestrel’s new wireless connectivity protocol, powered by Bluetooth® Smart. Select the LiNK option to connect the Kestrel 5000 to both iOS and Android devices as well as PC’s and Macs with an optional USB dongle. The powerful LiNK app provides a clear, customizable dashboard of real-time measurements as well as range Min/Max/ Avg readings and a scrolling graph of historical data. The Kestrel 5000 has the capacity to store up to 10,000 sets of time-stamped data which can be downloaded wirelessly and automatically with the LiNK apps, or quickly and conveniently with the sealed Kestrel USB Interface Cable. LiNK makes the time-stamped conditions data accessible long after you’ve returned to the office or field lab, so it’s ideal for composing reports and connecting conditions to observations.
