Manufacturer's Website

Description

The Kestrel 5500 Fire Weather Meter Pro with Link & Vane Mount, has all the features and benefits of the lightweight waterless 5500 Meter with a few added benefits.

A digital compass, that detects wind direction, crosswind, headwind / tailwind, with PIG Screen (Probability of Ignition) and FDFM (Fine Dead Fuel Moisture). All 5000 series meters will have both a bright green backlight, which is great for even high sunlight conditions, and a night-vision preserving backlight. The red night vision (NV) backlight incorporates optical filter to reduce overall brightness and minimize blue and green spectrum light to preserve night vision.

Calibration:
Accuracy: +/- 2%RH
Sensors: 10 to 90% 25°C non-condensing
Calibration Drift: Typically less than +/- 0.25% per year!
To achieve stated accuracy, unit must be permitted to equilibrate to external temperature when exposed to large, rapid temperature changes and be kept out of direct sunlight.

Connectivity:
Simple communication to Windows and Mac computers is provided through the optional LiNK. USB Dongle or USB Data Transfer Cable. Download your data to view,  analyze and archive. Enables firmware update of Kestrel 5 series meters. Wirelessly connect with iOS and Android devices. When in range, view real-time measurements, receive on-screen alerts and download your data. Logged data can be viewed, analyzed, archived and shared via e-mail, Facebook and Twitter. NOTE: Range up to 100’ line of sight – reduced by walls and obstructions.

Also connect with free Kestrel Connect App.

Please Note: This 'night vision' is not compatible with night-vision equipment. Basically, with the red backlight, your eyes don't need to adjust when looking from your meter to the horizon in night time use.
