Overview:

The next generation of WBGT and environment monitoring is the here with the Kestrel 5400 Weather

Meter.

The Kestrel 5400 provides the same trusted accuracy, reliability, and usability as the original Kestrel

4400 and 4600. The Kestrel 5400 is a handheld, portable, WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature)

measurement tool and environmental data logger. No need for distilled water, bulky globes,

complicated setup or expensive equipment. Getting accurate measurements couldn’t be easier: just

hold the Kestrel Heat Stress Tracker in the area of interest for both instantaneous and average WBGT

measurements. Set the appropriate WBGT thresholds for flag warnings and the loud buzzer, bright LED

beacon and on-screen warnings provide instant notification of dangerous conditions. Plus the Kestrel

5400 comes with commonly used heat safety guidelines on a handy, waterproof chart.

Unlike other WBGT meters on the market, the Kestrel 5400 is a full-featured weather meter as well.

Measure wind speed, maximum wind gusts, temperature, humidity, pressure, wind chill, density altitude

and more. No matter what your activity, the Kestrel 5400 provides insight into the critical conditions

affecting safety, performance and success. The Kestrel 5400 with LiNK wireless data communication

adds a compass for tracking wind direction as well, expanding its usability to include HAZMAT response,

and even measuring headwind at the running track!

The new Kestrel 5 Series platform adds many new features and options. If you’re familiar with the

Kestrel 4400 or 4600, the first thing you’ll notice is the larger, higher-resolution and contrast display and

improved font readability. The Kestrel 5 series also includes a built-in dual color backlight, extra-strong

polycarbonate lens and AA battery operation and offers optional LiNK iOS and Android wireless

connectivity and app support. Like all Kestrel meters, the Kestrel 5400 is drop-proof, dust-proof,

waterproof and able to withstand harsh environments without damage – so it can be used anywhere

needed to keep athletes, workers, military personnel and animals safe from heat injury. A range of carry

pouch options makes it even easier to take your Kestrel meter with you.

Pair the Kestrel 5400 with the optional Kestrel Vane Mount for hands-free measurements over the

course of the practice, training session or workday. And for maximum functionality, choose the Kestrel

5400 with LiNK to transmit live measurements to your phone or tablet when you’re within range. The

Kestrel LiNK app will also display alerts on your mobile device to let you know when conditions have

become dangerous.

In addition to measuring the current environmental conditions, the Kestrel 5400 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).

Kestrels have been put to the test in some of the harshest conditions on the planet. U.S. Special Forces,

combat weather teams, wildland firefighters, smoke jumpers, Mt. Everest expeditions and auto pit

crews are just a few who rely on a Kestrel to provide them with the crucial environmental data they

need. The Kestrel Heat Stress Tracker line has been used by the US Army, US Navy, athletic trainers, and

even organizers at the Boston Marathon. There truly is no comparable environmental safety monitoring

tool on the market. Adopt best safety practices for your team or workplace and add a Kestrel Heat Stress

Tracker to your toolkit.

What’s New in the Kestrel 5400:

Features Benefits

Kestrel LiNK for mobile Android and iOS apps put crucial information at your fingertips with realtime remote data viewing on phones and tablets up to 100’ away. Kestrel

LiNK also provides easy data export, threshold alerts and simple firmware

updates.

LiNK wireless connectivity

powered by Bluetooth

Smart

Robust, easy connectivity to both iOS and Android mobile devices as well as

Windows and Mac computers. (Computers require optional Kestrel USB

Dongle.)

USB Data Transfer Cable Low profile, lightweight, waterproof cable provides wired connectivity to

Windows and Mac computers for fast data uploads and firmware

updates. Compatible with every model in the Kestrel 5 Series.

Sleek, rugged tripod vane
