Kestrel Meters Weather Radio 1000 Manuel D’Utilisation

You may recalibrate the wind speed readings by replacing 

the impeller. Press FIRMLY on the sides of the black 

impeller housing with your thumbs to remove the entire 

assembly. When inserting the new impeller, be sure the 

arrow is facing the display side of the unit, and is aligned 

with the top of the meter. Press on the sides of the housing 

rather than the center.

The Beaufort Scale is a system for estimating 

wind force without the use of instruments based 

on the visible effects of the wind on the physical 

environment. The behavior of smoke, waves, trees, 

etc., is rated on a 13 point scale. The scale was devised 

in 1805 by the British naval Commander Sir Francis 

Beaufort (1774-1857) and is still commonly used 

by mariners.

NK does not believe in “disposable electronics.” We know that Kestrel Meters don’t typically 

lead pampered lives, and we design them for years of performance in tough conditions. 

Every Kestrel is designed and manufactured at NK’s facility in Boothwyn, Pennsylvania, to be 

the accurate, reliable weather instrument you need for your application.  If for any reason 

you are not satisfied with the performance or operation of your Kestrel meter in the first 30 

days, you may return it to your place of purchase for a full refund.
