The Kestrel 5200 offers advanced calculators and readings that are unique in the portable meter market and are designed to make your job easier. In addition to measuring current environmental conditions, the Kestrel 5200 tracks and logs over 10,000 sets of time-stamped data. Your data log can be transferred to a mobile device wirelessly with the LiNK wireless communication option and Kestrel LiNK app, or to a PC/MAC with either the accessory Kestrel LiNK Dongle or waterproof USB Data Transfer Cable (available separately).

Kestrel offers the next generation of professional environmental handheld monitoring. The 5200 professional series meter provides the same durable, reliable and accurate features as previous models but with so much more. With 17 total readings, this Kestrel meter is prefect for construction, farming and agriculture, HVAC technicians and many more professions that rely on weather tracking. Rugged for dust, water and drop proof for the toughest reliability in the market. Out performs the competition as the most compact and complete meter. Made in the USA, only Kestrel can provide a trusted environmental meter when needed.

The choice of Kestrel 5200 models is between the basic 0852HVG ( 914-0006 ) and the Bluetooth LiNK 0852LHVG ( 914-0009 ). Both offer distinctive monitoring functions for evaporation rate (lb/ft²/hr, kg/m²/hr), air flow (CFM, m³/hr, m³/m, m³/s, L/s), Delta T, Relative Air Density (RAD) & Air Density (lb/ft³, kg/m³). These functions make the 5200 an instrument of choice in agriculture, building construction and building services commissioning, operation and maintenance. Farmers use it for applications ranging from assessment of barn ventilation to chemical spraying (environmental conditions, correct spray nozzle, evaporation rate). Building engineers may enter the temperature of a concrete mix (from probe or IR thermometer) then measure conditions at the pour site to inform decisions about additives to the mix or curing adjustments, preventing costly shrinkage cracking of the slab. Building services engineers may input duct shape/dimensions and then simply traverse the 5200 across the duct for volume air flow data to assist in the commissioning and performance balancing of HVAC systems.

Measurements:

• Air Density
• Air Flow
• Air Velocity
• Altitude
• Barometric Pressure
• Density Altitude
• Delta T

The Kestrel 5200 has the American Concrete Institute Evaporation Rate nomograph built in, and displays the Evaporation Rate right on screen with no calculation or error-prone interpolation. With that information in hand, decisions about additives to the mix or curing adjustments can be made, prevent costly plastic shrinkage cracks of the slab. Plus, the Kestrel 5200 allows you to monitor wind-loading on booms and cranes, and even track the heat index on your work site to keep your workers safe.

HVAC

Volume air flow couldn’t get any easier than this. Simply input the duct shape and dimensions and traverse the Kestrel 5200 across the duct. You’ll get instantaneous and average volume air flow without the need for any geometry or calculations. readings that greatly assist in commissioning and performance balancing HVAC systems. While not a replacement for a balometer, the Kestrel 5200 is far less expensive and can save you time and money. The Kestrel 5200 also offers every commonly-used measurement of moisture content in air, making life easy to determine dehumidification needs.

Agriculture

Delta T allows you to accurately assess acceptable spraying conditions to ensure you're within guidelines and help you select the right spray nozzle. The Kestrel 5200 calculates and logs on-site Delta T without any additional user input. Delta-T provides guidance on the evaporation rate of sprayed chemicals. Agriculture professionals can ensure they spray safely, every time.
