SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
User Screens
The Kestrel Meter has three User Screens that can be customized to display three current
measurements simultaneously. These screens can also be turned o. (See the Main Menu
section for setup instructions.)
Max/Avg for Wind Speed & Wind Chill
The Max/Avg values for the wind speed and wind chill values are measured independently from the stored
and charted data.
This allows the user to start and stop the averaging period in the most appropriate manner for their
application. Averaging on all wind-related values (Wind Speed and Wind Chill) will be started and
stopped together.
While viewing the Min/Max/Avg screen for any of these measurements, hold the unit into the wind, and
press the button when the screen displays “—average” to begin collecting data for all measurements, and
again when the screen displays “—stop” to stop collecting data and hold the values on the display. Press the
button when the screen displays “—clear” to clear the data. This routine will work simultaneously for all
measurements, regardless of which one is displayed while the routine is run. The Max/Avg for these wind
values will not aect any other Min/Max/Avg or stored data.
Manual Data Storage
To manually store data, press the button. One of the following will appear: Data Stored (data has been
captured and will appear on chart), Full (Overwrite is o and data log is full), or O (Manual Store button
has been disabled). (See the Main Setup Menu section for more information on memory.)
Backlight
The Kestrel Meter has a high-visibility green backlight, which makes the display easily read in low-light
conditions. The Kestrel 3500 NV has a night-vision preserving backlight which helps users to sustain natural
night vision. The NV’s backlight incorporates an optical lter to reduce overall brightness and minimize
blue and green spectrum light to preserve night vision. Additionally, the backlight is much dimmer than a
standard backlight, making it more dicult to detect with the naked eye in night operations. This backlight
appears soft greyish pink (not red) and is still in the visible spectrum, so it is not compatible with nightvision equipment.
It takes 30 to 45 minutes for the average eye to adapt to darkness and maximize night vision. Even a short
burst of white, yellow, green or blue light “bleaches out” the rod cell photoreceptors in the eye and causes
night blindness until the entire adaptation process can take place again. Light in the red spectrum does not
cause this “bleaching out”, preventing night blindness and night vision fatigue.
Press the
button within one minute to deactivate the light manually.
Relative Humidity
The Kestrel Meter is capable of measuring RH to a high accuracy: +/– 3% RH between 5 and 95%. To ensure
operation within these specications, please follow these recommendations:
• Avoid taking measurements in direct sunlight, which will heat the air inside the humidity sensor
• If your circumstances force you to expose the Kestrel Meter to a large temperature swing prior to taking
button to activate the backlight. The light will remain activated for one minute. Press the
enclosure and cause inaccurate readings.
a relative humidity reading (such as when taking a Kestrel Meter stored inside at 70° F outside to a
temperature of 40° F), you will need to take additional steps to ensure that the Kestrel Meter’s external
temperature sensor is in thermal equilibrium.
Kestrel® 4000 Pocket Weather® Tracker 11
• Ideally, provide an airow of at least 1 M/S (2.2 MPH), over the temperature sensor—point the
Kestrel Meter into the airow. If there is no airow, simply wave the unit back and forth so air
passes over the sensors. With airow over the temperature sensors and humidity chambers,
readings within specications will be provided within two to three minutes, even after a large
temperature shift.
• If no airow can be provided, you must allow sucient time for the RH value to stabilize. This can
take as long as 20 minutes—the greater the temperature change, the greater the time. You can
use the logging capability of the Kestrel Meter to conrm that the unit has stabilized to
a correct reading: Set the memory options to a relatively short logging interval (20 seconds
works well), select the graphical display of RH, and you can see when the value is no longer
changing signicantly. At that point, the RH value is stable and can be relied upon to be within the
accuracy specications.
Barometric Pressure and Altitude Adjustment
The Kestrel Meter measures “station” pressure—the actual air pressure in the measurement location—and
uses this value to calculate barometric pressure and altitude. Station pressure changes in response to
two things—changes in altitude and changes in the atmosphere. Because the Kestrel Meter is constantly
changing location and altitude, it is important to enter adjustments or “references” when accurate pressure
and altitude readings are needed.
Barometric pressure is station pressure corrected to sea level. In order to make the correction, the Kestrel
Meter needs an accurate reference altitude. Altitude is the height above sea level. In order to correctly
calculate altitude, the unit needs an accurate barometric pressure reference, also known as an “altimeter
setting”. Fortunately, you only need to know ONE of these values (current barometric pressure or current
altitude) in order to set your Kestrel Meter up to show accurate readings.
decrease the reference pressure. You will notice that the altitude will change with changes in the reference
pressure. Press the button to exit the adjustment mode. Set your Kestrel Meter down on a table and
allow the altitude reading to stabilize. (Note: very small changes in pressure generate noticeable changes
in altitude. In order to provide meaningful readings for activities where altitude changes quickly, the Kestrel
Meter features rapid altitude response. This is why the altitude readings tend to uctuate by a few feet.)
After obtaining a current altitude from the ALTITUDE screen, move to the BARO screen and enter this value
as your reference altitude by following the same procedure. Both readings will now be accurate.
to increase the reference altitude or the button to decrease the reference altitude. You will notice that
the barometric pressure will change with changes in the reference altitude. Press the button to exit the
adjustment mode. Again, allow the Kestrel Meter to stabilize, then enter the value from the BARO screen
as your reference pressure on the ALTITUDE screen by following the same procedure. Both readings are
nowaccurate.
When reviewing stored data, remember that changes in pressure AND changes in location/altitude will
aect the stored values. When tracking pressure changes relative to weather, set the reference altitude on
the BARO screen and keep the Kestrel Meter in one location. Your graph history will now show trends in
