Proudly made in the USA and backed by a 5-year warranty, it’s the essential tool for firefighting, military, and hazardous material operations. ## Description The Kestrel 5500FW Fire Weather Meter Pro is your all-in-one hand-held belt weather kit, monitoring every critical weather measurement plus PIG (Probability of Ignition) and FDFM (Fine Dead Fuel Moisture). Monitor heading, wind direction and speed (current/average/max), cross/head/tail wind, altitude, pressure trend, barometric pressure, wet bulb and globe temperature, relative humidity, heat stress index, dewpoint, density altitude, wind chill, and air/water/snow temperature. The 5500FW features a large, backlit screen for easy viewing all conditions and has a user-replaceable impeller protected by a flip-top cover. The rugged design is fully waterproof (IP67), floats, and is drop tested to MIL-STD-810F standards for even the most demanding use. The 5500FW tracks, logs and charts thousands of time-stamped data points. Wireless Bluetooth LiNK technology allows you to transfer and monitor data from your iOS/Android device, and you can also connect with your Mac or PC to transfer data, perform updates and more (USB interface sold separately). Includes AA battery, neck lanyard and protective pouch plus PIG and FDFM waterproof cards. The 5500FW is able to withstand harsh environmental extremes without damage and handle the abuses of work on a fire line wherever you're assigned. It is proudly designed and manufactured in the USA, and is backed by a 5-year warranty. Review: I have owned the Kestrel 2500 for about 8 years now. It looks the same, but doesn't have the humidity displays (relative humidity, dewpoint, wet bulb temperature) that are so useful in the Wildland Fire service. It has been carried to the airport day after day, dropped in the mud, stepped on and otherwise abused without an issue. We were having a humidity issue in our office, so I opted to purchase the 3500 to troubleshoot the problem. It performed flawlessly - three daily readings for a month. Careful recording of temps, dewpoints, relative humidity and duct airflow speeds allowed us to isolate - and correct - the problem. A word about accuracy: Don't get wrapped around the axle when any of the values change a few tenths of a unit. Read the specification sheet and study the +/- percentage values. This is a rugged, high quality field unit, not a delicate $5,000 device in a NASA lab. You'll love it! >>>>>> Note to the editors: Rate these features: "Warmth"? "Thickness?" - WTF does that mean?
