Kestrel 5500 is a new model of weather monitoring systems.
The Kestrel 5500 Weather Station is a powerful and surprisingly compact tool for measuring and storing data.
Kestrel 5500 has the same accuracy, reliability and convenience as the device of the past generation Kestrel 4000.
It is necessary for scientific activities, agriculture, use on expeditions,
as well as everywhere where the immediate acquisition of accurate weather data is extremely important.
The new device Kestrel 5th series has a number of new properties.
If you're already familiar with the 4500 model, the first thing you'll notice is a larger,
high-resolution, high-contrast display, which is more convenient to read. It also has a built-in two-color backlight,
a particularly durable polycarbonate lens and a connector for AA battery.
The device may also have the LiNK option for wirelessly connecting to iOS or Android devices to use applications.
Like all Kestrel devices, it has a shockproof, dustproof and waterproof case, which allows it to be used in the most extreme conditions.
In addition to measuring weather conditions, the Kestrel 5500 tracks and catalogs more than 10,000 time-stamped data sets.
The collected dataset can be transferred to a mobile device wirelessly
or transferred to a PC/MAC using a USB cable or an optional Kestrel LNK Dongle device.
Weather station Kestrel 5500 has a special weather vane.
Precision mounting securely fixes the device on a tripod or to any bracket type 1/4-20.
As soon as the device is installed on the vane, it immediately becomes an independent monitoring station,
as the large blades and high-quality rotary elements of the weather vane guarantee exact compliance with the wind direction,
while the weather station constantly measures and catalogs wind speed and other important environmental parameters.
The LiNK application (for iOS and Android), which captures the signal from the weather station at a distance of 30 meters,
displays Kestrel readings in real time on a mobile device in the form of a visual and customizable interface.
Weather Station can be stored and carried in a special pocket, located on the belt from the cover for the weather vane.
The entire kit weighs only 295 g and measures 6.5 x 7.5 x 22 cm.
Kestrel devices have been tested in the toughest conditions on our planet.
US special forces, military meteorologists, forest fire services, fire paratroopers,
Everest explorers, crews of mechanics are only a small part of the specialists who rely on Kestrel weather station to obtain accurate weather data.
Due to its accuracy and compact size, Kestrel instruments have gained immense popularity
among various teams of researchers and scientists for more than 20 years, and this can be believed, since the name
Kestrel is often mentioned in many peer-reviewed scientific articles.
If weather conditions have a big impact on your business, you will not find a better partner than Kestrel.
Kestrel LNK Mobile
The application for Android and iOS allows you to have all the important information
from the weather station right before your eyes using a remote connection to a phone or tablet,
which works at a distance of up to 30 meters in real time. Kestrel LiNK also provides easy data export,
makes warnings about any of the parameters beyond the limit value, and also this program is easy to update.
Wireless communication function LiNK secured by Bluetooth Smart technology
It is a simple way to have uninterrupted connection to mobile devices with iOS and Android,
as well as to computers with Windows or Mac operating systems. (Computers require an optional Kestrel USB Dongle.)
USB data transfer
A lightweight, waterproof cable provides wired connection between a weather station
and computers for fast data transfer or firmware upgrades. Works with each Kestrel model 5th series.
Strong and reliable arm for mounting on the vane
The compact weather vane turns any Kestrel instrument into a full-fledged weather station, which is always oriented in the direction of the wind.
(The mount can be included into the kit or can be sold separately).
Large contrast screen
Easy to read text in any setting and any conditions, including bright sunlight.
The screen holds more information that is easily perceived, thanks to the high-contrast image and the ability to customize each menu.
Two-color lights
The device has the ability to switch between standard white backlight and red backlight, compatible with night vision devices (NVD).
This light has a reduced brightness, does not illuminate the night vision devices and reduces the risk of detection during night maneuvers.
Reliable battery cover
The large sealed cover allows you to quickly replace batteries without using any additional tools.
Impact and scratch-resistant glass
Resistant polycarbonate glass with scratch-resistant coating protects the screen of the device.
Corrosion resistant battery compartment
The battery compartment is isolated from the electronics,
which reduces the risk of damage to the device when the battery leaks.
Intuitive interface
Navigation with the help of icons, an intuitive keyboard and the ability
to change the language makes the Kestrel weather station really easy to use.
