Tips For Taking Accurate Measurements

A Kestrel DROP is the world’s easiest-to-use rugged environmental data logger. Available in three models – the Kestrel DROP D1 Temperature Logger, the Kestrel DROP D2 Temperature and Humidity Logger, and the Kestrel DROP D3 Temperature, Humidity and Pressure Logger – all three models allow you to monitor and record the conditions of any environment and easily access and chart real-time and historical data on your phone, tablet or other smart device.

The Kestrel DROP D2 data logger can be placed wherever needed to log temperature and humidity with the data logs retrieved wirelessly and automatically to the Kestrel LiNK app when within wireless range(up to 100’ or more line of sight).


Use a DROP Anywhere - Small, Accurate, Rugged and Waterproof

Each DROP measures just 1 x 1.8 x 2.4 inches (24 x 46 mm x 60 mm) and weighs just 1.2 ounces (34 grams).  DROP loggers meet military and international standards for water, dust and shock resistance (IP-67 and MIL-STD-810G) and are conveniently equipped with a sturdy d-ring for hanging wherever needed.

DROPs Are Powered by the Kestrel LiNK App

DOWNLOAD KESTREL LiNK FOR ANDROID

Kestrel LiNK is the free app that powers the DROP loggers. With Kestrel LiNK on your smart phone or tablet, you can view real-time readings from any DROP logger within wireless range (up to 100’ or more line of sight) via Bluetooth Low Energy.  Each phone or tablet can connect to up to 8 DROP loggers at the same time and store data logs from many more. Min/Max/Average readings are clearly displayed and the data log is viewable as a scrolling graph with detailed data for each logged point. The Kestrel LiNK app also allows adjustment of the logging interval and other settings as well as real-time threshold alerts. Readings can be updated as frequently as every 2 seconds and logging time and date are automatically updated whenever connected to your smart device.  You can also send and share real-time and logged environmental data via email, Facebook or Twitter

Requirements:

  • iOS 6 installed iPhone 4s, iPad 3rd Generation, iPod Touch 5th Generation and above.
  • Android 4.3 and higher. Works with most Android devices with Bluetooth® low energy, including Samsung Galaxy, Nexus 4, Motorola Droid and other recent generation phones and tablets.

DROP Customer Feedback:

The Kestrel DROP D2 and D3 are absolutely the best kept secret in the cigar industry! In the high tech world we live in, I am now able to keep a vigilant eye over my investment by remotely monitoring the environmentals of my humidor via a simple app on my iPhone. Having the ability to set alerts when humidity and temperature drop or go above ideal conditions is invaluable.  This is a MUST HAVE accessory for anyone with a humidor!

Airflow of 2.2 mph|1 m/s or greater provides fastest response and reduction of insolation effect. For greatest accuracy, avoid direct sunlight on the temperature sensor and prolonged sunlight exposure to the unit in low airflow conditions. Calibration drift is negligible for the life of the product. For further details, see Battery Operational Temperature Limits.
Relative Humidity 2%RH 0.1 %RH 10 to 90% 25°C noncondensing To achieve stated accuracy, unit must be permitted to equilibrate to external temperature when exposed to large, rapid temperature changes and be kept out of direct sunlight. Calibration drift is typically less than ±0.25% per year.

ADDITIONAL PRODUCT INFO
Response Time & Display Update Display updates every 1 second. After exposure to large environmental changes, all sensors require an equilibration period to reach stated accuracy. Measurements employing RH may require longer periods particularly after prolonged exposure to very high or very low humidity. WBGT requires about 8 minutes to reach 95% accuracy and about 15 minutes to reach 99% accuracy after exposure to large environmental changes.
Data Storage Logged history stored for every measured value. Auto-store interval settable from 2 seconds to 12 hours*, overwrite on or off. D1: >13,000 data points, D2: >7,000 data points, D3: >6,000 data points.

Woodworking 101: Combating Temperature and Humidity Issues with Kestrel Weather & Environmental Meters Woodworking 101: Combating Temperature and Humidity Issues with Kestrel Weather & Environmental Meters When you’re knee-deep in a woodworking project such as flooring installation, humidity and temperature can impact the project before and after installation. Wood is a hygroscopic material, meaning it attracts water from its surroundings. It is also affected by the temperature where the size of the wood can expand or contract based on the ambient conditions. With an array of Kestrel Instruments to use for spot-checks or to leave on-site, you can m
