The Kestrel 5500 weather meter is the most complete general-purpose instrument in the standard Kestrel handheld range. It adds wind direction measurement and a built-in digital compass to the full suite of 5 Series environmental parameters — making it the go-to instrument for professionals who need a complete, self-contained weather observation capability in the field.
The 5500 can be used handheld for spot readings or mounted on the included rotating vane mount (with LiNK model) to become a portable weather station for extended unattended logging. It measures more than 20 environmental parameters, logs up to 10,000 time-stamped data sets, and connects wirelessly via optional LiNK Bluetooth. Used by the US military, wildland fire services, search and rescue teams, and engineers worldwide. Available from Hinco, Perth’s authorised Kestrel distributor.
