Kestrel® 5200 Professional Environmental Monitor
Product Code: KES2000
MPN: 0852HVG
The Kestrel® 5200 Professional Environmental Meter (model 0852HVG) is a high-visibility green, non-Bluetooth handheld environmental meter designed for professional field measurements. It combines wind-speed and air-flow measurement with temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, altitude, air density, dew point, heat index, evaporation rate, Delta T, wet-bulb temperature, and other environmental calculations. It features data logging, a backlit display, waterproof IP67 construction, and a floating, rugged housing.
