Kestrel 3000 Weather Meter

Product Information

CE certified, RoHS and WEEE compliant. Individually tested to NIST-traceable standards (written certificate of tests available at additional charge). Long range legend Mike Roberts provides this step by step quide to setting up and using Kestrel wind meters, to help you make the most of these fantastic ballistic solvers HVAC installation and repair personnel wanting to measure airflow in an air conditioning units, heating or ventilation unit or home inspectors and facility managers Convenient and reliable, the Kestrel 3000 is the perfect tool for Construction & HVAC, Facilities Management, Firefighting & First Response and Indoor Environment Monitoring. Kestrel 3000 Key Features While stood on the range recently with a group of experienced international competitors and novices alike, I noticed a large number of the shooters had Kestrel wind meters with them. There were a couple set up on tripods, some lying on shooting mats and some in peoples’ hands. I couldn’t help but watch as one of the novice shooters approached an experienced shot, Kestrel in hand, and said: “Can you show me how this works?” He was met with the reply: “Ask Mike, as he knows how they work best.”

Air pressure that would be present in identical conditions at MSL. Station pressure compensated for local elevation provided by reference altitude. Requires accurate reference altitude to produce maximum absolute accuracy Anemometers come in different types: handheld anemometers, digital anemometers, wind gauges part of a more advanced home weather station and more. We’ll go into more detail about each of these later. The Invention of the Anemometer Your content, and the use of your content by us in accordance with these terms and conditions, must not: Firstly, we need to set our target direction (Azimuth). To do this, you need to be in ballistics mode; with Tgt highlighted, press the Capture button to select Tgt, this will now change to a T with an arrow to the right. As you rotate the unit you will see the compass bearing change.

A contract under these terms and conditions is for our benefit and your benefit, and is not intended to benefit or be enforceable by any third party. Our principal place of business is at The Lodge, Unit 1 Barnes Farm Business Park, Barnes Lane, Milford on Sea. SO41 0AP. You will now see two wind readings on the screen – the low reading and the high reading. All your solutions will use this data until you change it. F to 131° F | -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 then exposing it to the more extreme environment for the minimum time necessary to take reading. Once you have set an angle to anything other than zero degrees, or one for cosine, an asterix will appear next to the range on your display. This is to remind you to remove it before changing target.

Load & Go Convenience – Upload a gun profile for your specific rifle and bullet in the 2700 using the free Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app, then leave your phone behind – the 2700 is a fully functional, stand-alone field toolNow you need to set your latitude; this is done from the Environment screen. Scroll to Lat and set your latitude – don’t forget to change this if you visit another country or are a long way from home. This is essential for the correct function of the Coriolis effect. Use an internet search engine to find your latitude (www.gridreferencefinder.com). The disputed absolute highest wind speed ever recorded on earth was during the Bridge Creek-Moore tornado in Oklahoma (USA) in 1999. The measurement was from a doppler radar anemometer. Although exact wind speeds are up for debate, the wind speed probably surpassed 490km/h (305mph).

If you think of a wind meter, you probably think of a cup wind meter. This type of anemometer is based on the initial design by Alberti. Most of the time the wind meter uses three cups in a horizontal plane. The number of rotations per minute determines wind speed. Cup anemometers are mainly used in weather stations. Once you have calibrated the compass and set the date and time, you are ready to start inputting your ballistic data and building gun profiles. The 5700 Elite can store up to 16 gun and bullet profiles, it can link to your smartphone and/or a compatible rangefinder, using the LiNK Bluetooth. CE certified, RoHS, FCC, IC tested and WEEE compliant. Individually tested to NIST-traceable standards. Display updates every 1 second. After exposure to large environmental changes, all sensors require an equilibration period to reach stated accuracy. Measurements employing RH mayRequires optional PC interface (USB or RS-232) or Bluetooth data transfer option and provided software. This Kestrel meter does it all. The Kestrel 5500 weather meter provides the same trusted accuracy, reliability, and usability as the original Kestrel 4500. Measure every environmental condition plus wind direction, crosswind and headwind/tailwind. Use it golfing, sailing, flying, spraying, shooting and more. Drop-proof, dust-proof, waterproof and able to withstand extreme environments without damage, your Kestrel weather meter travels with you anywhere you dare to go. A range of carry pouch options makes it even easier to take your Kestrel meter with you. require longer periods particularly after prolonged exposure to very high or very low humidity. WBGT requires about 8 minutes to reach 95% accuracy and about 15 minutes to reach 99% accuracy after exposure to large environmental changes. You may not without our prior written consent assign, transfer, sub-contract or otherwise deal with any of your rights and/or obligations under these terms and conditions.

The wind speed displayed is a 3 second rolling average. This allows the unit to provide a value that is more representative of the typical, ambient conditions rather than peak speeds for instantaneous blasts of air.An anemometer is a device that is used to measure the speed of wind and is a common weather station instrument.
