Pocket weather meters

This new line of Kestrel weather meters offers rugged, reliable handheld weather monitoring devices equipped with wireless Bluetooth technology. In many current applications, the key environmental measurements from a Kestrel instrument are input into other systems: ballistics calculators, fire behavior models, hazmat plume predictors, heat stress models, weather reports, research data sets and more. Now, both real-time and logged data can be transferred wirelessly and automatically to a laptop or PDA, making a Bluetooth Kestrel 4000 series weather meter the preferred tool for virtually any job that requires quick and truly accurate environmental data. Every Bluetooth Kestrel will include custom communication software designed to configure data transmission frequency, download logged data, graph data and transfer data to other applications. Data transmission range can be adjusted to maximize power to communicate at up to a 30-foot range or to reduce power for closer, more secure operation. Individual unit IDs allow more than one unit to operate in the same area. www.nkhome.com
