Explanation:

The Kestrel 5400 is a handheld, portable, WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) measurement tool and environmental data logger. Getting accurate measurements couldn't be easier: just hold the Kestrel Heat Stress Tracker in the area of interest for both instantaneous and average WBGT measurements. Set the appropriate WBGT thresholds for flag warnings and the loud buzzer, bright LED beacon, and on-screen warnings provide instant notification of dangerous conditions.

Unlike other WBGT meters on the market, the Kestrel 5400 is a full-featured weather meter as well. Measure wind speed, maximum wind gusts, temperature, humidity, pressure, wind chill, density altitude and more.

Pair with the included Kestrel Vane Mount for hands-free measurements. For maximum functionality, use LiNK wireless communication to transmit live measurements to your phone or tablet when you're within range. The Kestrel LiNK app will also display alerts on your mobile device to let you know when conditions have become dangerous.

In addition to measuring the current environmental conditions, the Kestrel 5400 tracks and logs over 10,000 sets of time-stamped data. Your data log can be transferred to a mobile device wirelessly with LiNK wireless communication and Kestrel LiNK app, or to a PC/MAC with either the accessory Kestrel LiNK Dongle or waterproof USB Data Transfer Cable (available separately).

Kestrel Weather & Environmental Meters are designed & manufactured in the USA and are backed by Kestrel’s 5-year warranty. Innovatively designed for stability and accuracy in abrupt condition changes. Rugged and durable, Kestrels are drop tested, waterproof, and float if dropped in water.

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 of instantaneous blasts of air.

The Kestrel 5400 anemometer can easily be switched between mph, km/h, ft/min, m/s, knots and Beaufort Scale.

All Kestrel models can be fitted to a portable rotating wind vane mount and tripod, to create a very portable and accurate weather station.

Patented Impeller

Every Kestrel meter features a large, 1” impeller mounted on a sapphire jewel bearing, which means it starts rotating with the slightest puff of air. For superior accuracy, the impeller housing can rotate in the unit. The patented impeller is user-replaceable by simply pushing it out with your thumbs, which means it can easily be replaced if it is damaged or worn. The measurements from the wind impeller are taken magnetically. The impeller is not glued or attached to the unit. Because every new impeller is calibrated in the wind tunnel at the USA factory, if your application demands regular calibration, simply pop in a new impeller and the Kestrel Wind Meter is restored to like-new factory calibration standards.
