Kestrel Meters Weather Radio 1000 用户手册

Wind Speed - Average over the previous three seconds. The measurement will be accurate 

for air flow through the front or rear of the unit.
Maximum Wind Gust - Maximum 3-second wind speed since the unit was turned on.
Average Wind Speed - average wind speed since the unit was turned on.

Every Kestrel Meter is fully waterproof and floats, and has passed mil-spec drop testing.
Storing Your Kestrel

Avoid storing your Kestrel where it will be exposed to temperatures below -30°C [-22°F] or 

above 60° C [176° F] for extended periods of time. Doing so may cause permanent damage. 

(Note that the inside of a car parked in the hot sun can reach very high temperatures.) 
Use of the Lanyard and Cover

The cover can be captured on the lanyard to avoid loss. First, remove the cord poplock. Then 

feed the lanyard end through the large opening in the over and out the slot. Replace the 

poplock on the lanyard.

When your display becomes dim or disappears, replace the 

battery. Use a large coin to open the battery compartment. 

Use only new CR2032 coin cell batteries (available where 

watch batteries are sold). Wipe the battery clean of any 

fingerprints and insert the positive (+) pole up, angling the 

battery downward and pressing it firmly into place. When 

replacing the battery door, be sure to keep the black rubber 

o-ring seated in the groove on the case back.
Why does the Impeller Appear Imbalanced?

It is NORMAL for the impeller to oscillate as it comes to a stop. It is NOT imbalanced. Rather, 

it contains a very small magnet that responds to the earth’s magnetic fields. This does not 

affect the accuracy of the wind speed readings because the magnetic field applies both a 

braking and an accelerating force which cancel each other. The impeller has been calibrated 

to provide wind speed readings accurate to within at least ± 3%.
High Speed Use

After several hours of sustained operation over 25 M/S (~49 KT, 90 KM/H, 56 MPH or 

4,923 FPM), the Kestrel will lose some accuracy due to wear of the sapphire bearings in 

the impeller.
