The Kestrel 1000 pocket anemometer is the first and entry level of the Kestrel
range, providing the user with accurate wind speed readings. It has three
buttons below the display, making operation simple and allowing the user to view
data in current, maximum or average displays, the buttons also allow operation
of the data hold function.
The Kestrel 1000 is a small electronic rotating vane type anemometer
(wind meter),
easily carried in a pocket. It uses high precision jewel bearings and a
light weight impeller to provide accurate air flow measurements even at low
speeds. The impeller assembly can be replaced by the user if damaged.
Low power microprocessor technology is used to provide speed, maximum
speed, average speed and units selection; functions normally only found on
more expensive instruments. The liquid crystal display has large 9mm high
digits for a clear readout.
Power is from an easily replaceable standard lithium coin cell battery,
which will typically give up to 300 hours of operation. The instrument
automatically switches off if no keys are pressed for 45 minutes.
The Kestrel 1000 wind meter is made from high impact injection moulded plastic and
corrosion resistant materials with the electronics fully sealed. It will
float if accidentally dropped into water. There is a hard cover for
protection when not in use and a lanyard is provided for added security.
