Kestrel LiNK for mobile:

Android and iOS apps put crucial information at your fingertips with real-time remote data viewing on phones and tablets up to 100′ away. Kestrel LiNK also provides easy data export, threshold alerts and simple firmware updates.

LiNK wireless connectivity powered by Bluetooth Smart:

Robust, easy connectivity to both iOS and Android mobile devices as well as PCs.
(Computers require optional Kestrel USB Dongle.)

USB Data Transfer Cable:

Low profile, lightweight, waterproof cable provides wired connectivity to PCs for fast data uploads and firmware updates. Compatible with every model in the Kestrel 5 Series.

Sleek, rugged tripod vane mount:

Small, secure, robust vane mount turns any Kestrel 5 Series meter into a portable weather station that remains oriented into the wind. (Included in some models where noted, otherwise sold as optional accessory.)

Large, high contrast screen:

Easily readable text in almost any setting, including bright sunlight, with more visible information on the screen at all times. This high-resolution display is easy on the eyes, allowing you to get more information from customizable user screens, charting and graphing options without causing eye strain or fatigue.

Dual color backlight:

Toggle backlight color between standard white and night-vision-preserving red (NV). The red NV backlight features an optical wavelength selected to help users sustain natural night vision and reduced brightness to avoid detection during night maneuvers.

Secure battery door:

Large, O-ring sealed door provides easy, tool-free battery access.

Scratch and breakage-resistant window:

Rigid, polycarbonate lens with scratch-coating protects the display from damage.

Corrosion-resistant battery compartment:

Battery is isolated from electronics, reducing damage in the event of a battery leak.

Icon-based navigation, intuitive keypad, and multiple languages make the Kestrel a breeze to use.
