Introducing the ALL NEW Kestrel Pocket Weather Meter with wireless BluetoothÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂî technology is now an OPTION(see option menu below). Kestrel Weather Meters with integrated BluetoothÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂî technology offer the ultimate in portable and accurate environmental data. A complete, hand-held weather station- measure and log numerous critical environmental conditions; wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, altitude, density altitude, wet bulb, dewpoint and more. Now, both real-time and logged data can be transferred wirelessly and automatically to a laptop or PDA, making a Kestrel 4000 series weather meter the perfect tool for virtually any job that requires quick and reliable weather data. BluetoothÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂî wireless technology is available throughout the entire Kestrel 4000 series, including specialty Kestrel units. Break Boundaries with Kestrel BluetoothÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂî. Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters have specifically customized our BluetoothÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂî integration to answer the unique needs of our customers: Streamline your work and reduce your equipment in the field - wireless data transmission eliminates the need for a separate interface and cabling. Every BluetoothÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂî Kestrel will include custom communication software designed to quickly and easily configure your data transmission frequency, download logged data, graph data, and transfer data to other applications. Data transmission range adjustment allows you to maximize power to communicate with your Kestrel at up to a 30 feet range, or reduce power for closer, more secure operation. Individual unit IDÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs ensure you pair with the Kestrel you want, even when more than one system is operating in the same area. Permanently coded unique 4-digit Pin numbers provide extra security when pairing and transmitting data ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂàNV Configuration Military personnel and pilots flying in darkness are often concerned with preserving their night vision. Due to overwhelming demand from our military customers, the Kestrel NV line was added in 2005. The Kestrel 4500NV has a night-vision preserving backlight which helps users to sustain natural night vision. The NV's backlight incorporates an optical filter to reduce overall brightness and minimize blue and green spectrum light to preserve night vision. Additionally, NV backlights are also much dimmer than a standard backlight, making it more difficult 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 is not compatible with night-vision 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.
