The Kestrel 5200 Pocket Weather Meter is designed for professionals in construction, HVAC, and agriculture, featuring integrated specialty calculations and measurements. The 5200 features a backlit screen with night vision preserving light for readability in all conditions. Maintenance is tool-free and the impeller is user-replaceable. The rugged design is fully waterproof and floats (IP-67), and is drop-tested to MIL-STD-810G standards. The 5200 measures evaporation rate, Delta T, air density and RAD, heading, wind direction, cross/head/tailwind, altitude, pressure trend, barometric pressure, relative humidity, heat stress index, dewpoint, density altitude, wind chill, wind speed (current/max/average) and temperature (air/water/snow/wet bulb). Track, log, and chart thousands of data points for optimum accuracy. Bluetooth LiNK allows you to wirelessly view, transfer, and monitor data remotely in real time on your iOS/Android device (the 5200 also features data transfer to computer via USB). For construction professionals, the 5200's allows you to get error-free evaporation rate calculations, measure wind-loading on booms and cranes, and track the heat index to keep employees safe. HVAC professionals: simply input the duct shape and dimensions and traverse the Kestrel 5200 across the duct, and you'll get instantaneous and average volume air flow without the need for any geometry or calculations. Agricultural professionals can use Delta T to assess acceptable spraying conditions, and monitor temperature, humidity and heat index to ensure your animal and grain facilities are productive and mold and disease are minimized. The Kestrel 5200 includes a neck lanyard, AA battery and protective pouch. It is proudly designed and manufactured in the USA, and backed by a 5-year warranty.
