Dimensions:
|
unit: 4.8" x 1.7" x 0.8" (122 x 42
x 20 mm)
cover: 4.6" x 1.8" x 1.1" (122 x 46 x 26 mm) |
|
Weight:
|
unit: 2.3oz (65gr)
cover: 1.3oz (37gr) |
|
Operating Temperature:
|
LCD readability is lost above 122ºF (50ºC)
and below 5ºF (-15ºC). Accurate readings may be
taken beyond these
temperature limits by exposing the unit for the minimum time necessary
to
take and record measurement. |
|
Storage Temperature:
|
Recommended -4 to 176ºF (-20
to 80ºC) |
|
Temperature Limitations:
|
The Kestrel temperature sensor is able to
measure temperatures as low as -22F (-30C) and
as high as 158F (70C). The
Kestrel is able to display wind chill measurements lower than
-22F,
depending on wind conditions. It is also able to display heat index
measurements
above 158F, depending on humidity conditions. The Kestrel
display will not function if the
display itself gets below 5F (-15C).
However, if the unit is kept in a pack or pocket or other
warm area, the
display itself should not get this cold. |
