Kestrel® 3000 Pocket Wind Meter Plus
Product Code: KES3000
The Kestrel® 3000 Pocket Weather Meter is a compact, waterproof handheld environmental meter that measures wind speed, air temperature, relative humidity, heat stress index, dew point, and wind chill. Designed for environmental professionals, fisheries biologists, foresters, agricultural specialists, and industrial users, it combines precision sensors with rugged construction in a pocket-sized instrument. The addition of a humidity sensor over the Kestrel 2000 makes it well suited for applications where moisture, heat stress, and environmental comfort are important.
- Measures wind speed, air temperature, relative humidity, dew point, wind chill, and heat stress index.
- Displays current, minimum, maximum, and average readings.
- Patented externally mounted temperature sensor minimizes the influence of hand heat for rapid, accurate readings.
- Precision 1-inch impeller with low-friction bearings provides accurate wind measurements and is field replaceable without tools.
- Polymer capacitive humidity sensor delivers fast, stable humidity measurements and can be field-calibrated using the optional humidity calibration kit.
- IP67 waterproof housing protects against rain, splashes, dust, and temporary immersion.
- MIL-STD-810G drop-tested construction for demanding field environments.
- Includes a lanyard, hard slip-on protective cover, CR2032 battery, and certificate of conformity.
