The Kestrel 2000 thermo-anemometer provides high quality, performance and
functionality. It has three buttons below the display, making operation
simple and allowing the user to view data in current, maximum and average
wind speed displays, temperature and wind chill displays and also the data
hold function.
Wind chill is an equivalent
temperature that indicates to the user how their environment really feels.
Wind chill is the combination of wind speed and temperature.
The Kestrel 2000 is a small, electronic rotating vane type anemometer
(wind meter) with a built-in temperature sensor. It uses high precision jewel bearings
and a lightweight impeller to provide accurate air flow measurements even at
low speeds. The impeller assembly is replaceable by the user in the case of
damage. In order to quickly determine a steady temperature reading, the
precision thermistor temperature sensor is mounted externally.
The liquid crystal display has large 9mm high digits and is backlit for a
clear readout in low light conditions. 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 2000 thermo-anemometer 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 for added security.

Wind chill equivalent temperature
calculation
Utilises the (US) NWS Wind Chill
Temperature (WCT) Index, revised 2001, with wind speed adjusted
by a factor of 1.5 to yield equivalent results for wind speed
measured at 10m above ground
Certification
Wind speed and temperature measurements are tested during
manufacture.
A certificate of conformity (C of C) is included with each
Kestrel.
A calibration certificate is available for an additional fee.
