Description

Professional and collegiate athletic trainers, storm chasers, and firefighters alike understand the importance of monitoring field conditions. You know you’re working hard – make sure you’re staying safe. The Kestrel 3000 keeps you from working past your limits.

Targeted toward and practically required for wildland firefighters in both fighting fires and controlled burn situations.  This Kestrel 3000 model was a principle factor that changed firefighting equipment standards from the previous standard, the belt weather kit.  It cut the weight of dated weather packs, confusion, and time, to this minimalist approach that was revolutionary in firefighting, where users live literally depend on the accurate weather data their Kestrel 3000 provides.

A testament to the 3000’s accuracy, it has become practically required equipment for firefighters whose lives literally depend on the accurate weather data their Kestrel 3000 provides. From the Kestrel 3000’s factual relative humidity readings, it also calculates the dewpoint and heat stress index —important information to know when working or playing outdoors in hot and humid conditions.

Professional and collegiate athletic trainers, storm chasers, and firefighters alike understand the importance of monitoring field conditions. You know you’re working hard – make sure you’re staying safe. The Kestrel 3000 keeps you from working past your limits. Kestrel Wind Meters are used by sports trainers to determine how frequently the athletes need to hydrate, and when the conditions are unhealthy for strenuous exercise.

Manufacturer Nielsen Kellerman was the first to provide accurate relative humidity measurements from a hand-held weather meter, and the Kestrel 3000 features two patents on its humidity measuring sensors.

Every Kestrel is individually calibrated to NIST-traceable standards and comes with a free Certificate of Conformity (Individual NIST certificates and recalibration are also available). If your application demands regular calibration, simply pop in a new impeller and the Kestrel air velocity meter is restored to like-new factory calibration standards.
