Wind chill readings will be the same as the temperature readings above 45ºF or below 3 mph. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING Environmental Every Kestrel Meter is fully waterproof and floats, and has passed mil-spec drop testing. - Page 5 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.
- Page 6 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. Replacing the Impeller You may recalibrate the wind speed readings by replacing the impeller.
