| Primary Measurement | Units | Resolution | Accuracy (+/-) | Range: Max Operational Specification (if less) | Notes |
| Wind Speed or Air Velocity | m/s | 0.1 | Larger of 3% of reading, least significant digit or 20 ft/min | 0.6 to 60.0 m/s 0.6 to 40.0 m/s | 1 inch diameter impeller with precision axle and low-friction Zytel® bearings. Start-up speed stated as lower limit, readings may be taken down to 0.4 m/s | 79 ft/min | 1.5 km/h | .9 mph | .8 kt after impeller start-up. Off-axis accuracy -1% @ 5° off-axis; -2% @ 10° -3% @ 15°. Calibration drift < 1% after 100 hours use at 16 MPH | 7 m/s. Replacement impeller (NK PN-0801) field installs without tools (US Patent 5,783,753). |
| ft/min | 1 | 18 to 11,811 ft/min 118 to 7,874 ft/min | |||

| mph | 0.1 | 1.3 to 134.2 mph 1.3 to 89.5 mph | |||
| knots | 0.1 | 1.2 to 116.6 knots 1.2 to 77.8 knots | |||
| Beaufort | 1 | 0 to 12 B | |||
| Max/Avg Wind | One-button clear and restart of Max Wind Gust and Average Wind measurement by powering down and restarting unit. | ||||
| Display & Backlight | Reflective 3 1/2 digit LCD. Digit height 0.36 in / 9 mm. Aviation green electroluminescent backlight (except in Kestrel 1000). Manual activation with auto-off. | ||||
| Response Time & Display Update | All measurements except those based on relative humidity respond accurately within 1 second. Relative humidity and all measurements which include RH in their calculation may require as long as 1 minute to fully equilibrate to a large change in the measurement environment. Display updates every 1 second. | ||||
| Operational & Storage Temperature Range | The operational temperature range of the liquid crystal display and batteries is 14° F to 131° F / -10 °C to 55 °C. Measurements beyond the operational range can be taken by briefly exposing unit to extreme conditions such that the display and batteries remain within the operational range. Storage range -22 °F to 140 °F / -30 °C to 60 °C. | ||||
| Auto Shutdown | After 45 minutes of no key presses. | ||||
| Certifications | CE certified, RoHS and WEEE compliant. Individually tested to NIST-traceable standards (written certificate of tests available at additional charge). | ||||
| Battery | CR2032, one, included. Average life, 300 hours. Battery life reduced by backlight use in 2000 to 3500 models. | ||||
| Environmental | Waterproof (IP67 and NEMA-6). MIL-STD-810F, Transit Shock, Method 516.5 Procedure IV; unit only; impact may damage replaceable impeller. | ||||
