Kestrel 1000
Anemometer
· The NK Kestrel 1000 Pocket Wind Meter is very accurate, very tough
and very affordable.
· You can carry it in a pocket, hold it in one hand, and use it
whenever and wherever you need to know wind speed.
· It features a large liquid crystal display which is easy to read
under almost any conditions and offers three operating modes - wind
speed, average wind speed, and maximum wind speed.
· The display units can be changed at any time, with choices to suit
a wide variety of applications (knots, meters per second, kilometers
per hour, miles per hour or feet per minute, Beaufort).
· To measure wind speed, the Kestrel 1000 relies on a precision ultralight impeller mounted in jewel bearings.
· This impeller yields high accuracy (± 3%) and a low startup speed
(0.3 M/S).
· It is shock-mounted in a glass-reinforced plastic housing which
can simply be popped out and replaced with a new assembly in the
event that the impeller mechanism becomes worn or damaged.
· The Kestrel 1000 is waterproof and floats.
· The hard case slips on and off easily and protects the display and
all moving parts from damage.

· US Patent No. 5,783,753
