Kestrel - 4500 Wind Meter
|
|
Item Number: 1399
The Kestrel 4500 Pocket Weather Tracker is Kestrel's
flagship meter. Capable of monitoring and reporting an exhaustive list
of environmental parameters – from temperature to barometric pressure,
dewpoint, wind chill, and more**, the Kestrel 4500 is the most
feature-rich pocket weather meter in the entire Kestrel catalog. And
now, the Kestrel 4500, as well as the entire Kestrel 4000 series, is
available with Bluetooth Technology, allowing you to
communicate wirelessly and transmit and log your data automatically.
In addition to the Kestrel 4000's extensive list of capabilities, the Kestrel 4500 has these distinct monitoring functions:
- Digital Compass
- Wind Direction
- Crosswind
- Headwind / Tailwind
These added features make the 4500 the Kestrel Meter of choice for
military professionals, HAZMAT teams, and flight crews. Like all the
pocket weather meters in the Kestrel 4000 series, the Kestrel 4500 is
capable of storing and charting up to 1400 data points for later
analysis.
- If you select the Bluetooth model, your meter includes custom
communication software designed to quickly and easily configure your
data transmission frequency, download logged data, graph data and
transfer data to other applications. It is not longer to purchase an
interface separately, the new Kestrel Meters with Bluetooth include the
software necessary to communicate wirelessly at a range of up to
30-feet.
- For military professionals, the Olive Drab NV version of the Kestrel
4500 features a night-vision preserving backlight. Backlight
incorporates optical filter to reduce overall brightness and minimize
blue and green spectrum light to preserve night vision. (Note: This
backlight appears soft greyish pink, not "red", and is still in the
visible spectrum, so is not compatible with night-vision equipment.)
Weekend shooters and military snipers alike have been calling for a
Kestrel Meter with crosswind calculation for years — and the Kestrel
4500 meets that demand completely. The elite Kestrel 4500 has the most
complete list of features in the entire Kestrel Meter family, with the
only absent elements being the airflow and humidity ratio measurements
available with the Kestrel 4200 Air Flow Tracker.
The Kestrel 4500 also measures:
- Current Wind Speed
- Max Wind Gust
- Average Wind Speed
- Temperature
- Wind Chill
- Relative Humidity
- Heat Stress Index
- Dewpoint Temp
- Wet Bulb Temp
- Barometric Pressure
- Altitude
- Density Altitude
For military professionals, the Olive Drab NV version of the Kestrel
4500 is equipped with a red night vision backlight. The backlight
appears as a subdued, almost white-pink hue. This is not an issue with
the meter - this is how the light is designed for optimal performance in
low-light conditions.
