Sensor Specifications
|
Wind Speed |
|
| Units of Measure: | mph | kt | B | m/s | ft/min / km/h |
| Specification Range: |
|
| Operational Range: |
|
| Resolution: |
|
| Accuracy (+/-): | Larger of 3% of reading, least significant digit or 20 ft/min |
| Notes: | 1 inch|25 mm diameter impeller with precision axle and low-friction Zytel® bearings. Startup speed stated as lower limit, readings may be taken down to 0.4 m/s | 79 ft/min | 1.5 km/h | .9 mph | .8 kt after impeller startup. Off-axis accuracy -1% @ 5º off-axis; -2% @ 10º; -3% @ 15º. Calibration drift < 1% after 100 hours use at 16 MPH | 7 m/s. Replacement impeller (PN-0801) field installs without tools (US Patent 5,783,753). Wind speed calibration and testing should be done with triangle on impeller located at the top front face of the Kestrel. *F/S only in Ballistics units. Beaufort not available in Ballistics units. |
|
Ambient Temperature |
|
| Units of Measure: | Fahrenheit, Celsius |
| Specification Range: |
|
| Operational Range: |
|
| Resolution: |
|
| Accuracy (+/-): |
|
| Notes: | Airflow of 2.2 mph|1 m/s or greater provides fastest response and reduction of insolation effect. For greatest accuracy, avoid direct sunlight on the temperature sensor and prolonged sunlight exposure to the unit in low airflow conditions. Calibration drift is negligible for the life of the product. For further details, see Display & Battery Operational Temperature Limits. |
|
Pressure |
|
| Units of Measure: | inHg, hPA, mb |
| Specification Range: |
|
| Operational Range: |
|
| Resolution: |
|
| Accuracy (+/-): |
|
| Notes: | Monolithic silicon piezo-resistive pressure sensor with second-order temperature correction. Between 1100–1600 mbar, unit will operate with reduced accuracy. Sensor may not operate above 1600 mbar and can be damaged above 6,000 mbar or below 10 mbar. Calibration drift is negligible for the life of the product. |
|
Relative Humidity |
|
| Units of Measure: | % |
| Specification Range: | 5 to 95% 25°C non-condensing |
| Operational Range: | 0 to 100% |
| Resolution: | 0.1 %RH |
| Accuracy (+/-): | 3%RH |
| Notes: | To achieve stated accuracy, unit must be permitted to equilibrate to external temperature when exposed to large, rapid temperature changes and be kept out of direct sunlight. Calibration drift is typically less than ±0.25% per year. |
|
Compass |
|
| Units of Measure: | Compass Heading in True or Magnetic |
| Specification Range: | 0 to 360° |
| Operational Range: | 0 to 360° |
| Resolution: | 1° 1/16th Cardinal Scale |
| Accuracy: | ±5° |
| Notes: | 2-axis solid-state magneto resistive sensor mounted perpendicular to unit plane. Accuracy of sensor dependent upon unit’s vertical position. Self-calibration routine eliminates magnetic error from batteries or unit and must be run after every full power- down (battery removal or change). Readout indicates direction to which the back of the unit is pointed when held in a vertical orientation. Declination/variation adjustable for True North readout. |

The Kestrel 5500 is the ultimate tool for portable environmental monitoring, providing readings on virtually every environmental factor such as wind speed, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind direction, and density altitude. Additionally, the Kestrel 5500 allows for logging and data storage. The Kestrel 5500 is the perfect companion for golfing, sailing, flying, spraying, and shooting, and its superior durability ensures it can handle the toughest weather and terrain. The built-in dual color backlit display has been strengthened with an extra-strong polycarbonate lens for improved font readability, while optional LiNK iOS and Android wireless connectivity and app support opens up further possibilities.
In addition to measuring the current environmental conditions, the Kestrel 5500 tracks and logs over 10,000 sets of time-stamped data. Your data log can be transferred to a iOS/Android device wirelessly with the LiNK wireless communication option and the Kestrel LiNK app, or to a Windows PC or Mac with either the accessory Kestrel LiNK Dongle or waterproof USB Data Transfer Cable (Both sold separately).The true versatility of the Kestrel 5500 becomes apparent with the addition of the Kestrel Vane Mount. This precision-engineered accessory securely mounts the Kestrel 5500 to any tripod or other ¼-20 fitted bracket. Once mounted, the Kestrel 5500 becomes a full-featured weather station. Select "Add LiNK (Bluetooth Connectivity) + Vane Mount" or select the standard 5500 and purchase the vane mount separately in our Accessories section.

Amazing device for collecting spot weather data and conditions, app syncing is spot on and I'm able to quickly create a pdf or csv for importing into other programs. I don't know what more anyone could ask for, this is a must have for anyone who want to do anykind of field research or weather hobbyist.
Excellent meter, great price and fantastic service from ExtremeMeters.
I am glad you are enjoying your Kestrel. Thank you for the complement!

Reviews by our customers
The equipment are in new and good condition. The shipping are really fast after making a payment, they send a package in next day. I am ordering product from Thailand. To be honest after comparing price, Extreme meter LLC is the best price in product and shipping fee.
I needed urgent for my K2 winter expedition. I was on the last min and needed the goods to be sent in Iceland. Their chat online worked 100% and I was able to add on one extra peace even after I checkout. They send with UPS same day and I had the package 3 days later here in Iceland. Extreme Meters works and has good service I recommend them.
I ordered the Kestrel 3550FW meter. Received email notifications reporting the progression of my order up to delivery, which was much quicker than I'd expected. Couldn't be more pleased with the product and service.
The service was prompt and cordial. The Kestrel is used to measure wind velocity and temperature when applying pesticides for agriculture crop production. It is also used to measure weather conditions for livestock comfort.
Extreme Meters answered ALL my questions, - were totally professional - were EXTREMELY respectful to me - were a REAL pleasure to chat with ALL BEFORE I PURCHASED THEIR PRODUCTS MOST SINCERE THANK YOU AND APPRECIATED
The website was easy to navigate and placing an order was effortless. Shipping was extremely quick. My order was in my mailbox before I knew it. I started to use the meter immediately; it is excellent for my needs.
