Description
With the Kestrel 4600 Heat Stress Tracker, firefighters, hazmat professionals, emergency services personnel and others who are at risk of heat-related injuries due to exposures to extreme indoor and outdoor conditions can easily monitor conditions with real-time WBGT readings. This lightweight, durable heat stress meter also includes a digital compass, allowing users to monitor wind direction for plume prediction.
Built tough enough to stand up to extreme hot and cold temperatures, the Kestrel 4600 is a rugged and easy-to-use handheld weather meter that monitors heat-related environmental conditions such as wind speed, temperature, wind chill, barometric pressure, altitude, relative humidity, heat stress index, dewpoint, wet bulb temperature, density altitude, wind direction, crosswind, headwind/tailwind, wet bulb globe temperature, naturally aspirated wet bulb temperature, and globe temperature, quickly and accurately with the touch of a button. This handy meter also lets users activate and set up to six customized heat stress warning zone thresholds to trigger onscreen notifications of dangerous conditions. A valuable tool that can save a life out in the field or indoors in extremely hot and smoky conditions, the Kestrel 4600 Heat Stress Meter allows field personnel to get to safer conditions or notifies them to take a water break in order to avoid dehydration or other heat-related illnesses.
The 4600 has a night-vision configuration which helps users to sustain natural night vision. NV backlights are also much dimmer than a standard backlight, making it more difficult to detect with the naked eye in night operations.
Bluetooth® enabled units are capable of wirelessly transmitting data to your PC or to personnel inside a response vehicle.
All Kestrel instruments are made in the USA and are backed with a Five-Year Warranty.

Applications
Sometimes we only use the air temperature as a measure of how comfortable we will feel when working or playing outside. But when the days get longer and the sun becomes stronger we need to take into account a lot more than air temperature.
Heat-induced illnesses, such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke occur when your body can't keep itself cool. The evaporation of sweat is slowed on hot and humid days causing your body temperature to rise and become ill.
Symptoms of Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke
Preventing Heat Stress
And most importantly….Monitor the conditions you are in with a Heat Stress Meter
These meters measure how hot it REALLY feels outside when humidity is combined with temperature, air movement and radiant heat.
What is WBGT or Wet Bulb Globe Temperature?
WBGT index is a term used in industry, sports and other areas to indicate the heat stress level for humans and animals. It calculates the heat stress of direct sunlight, which takes into ac¬count temperature, humidity, wind speed, sun angle and cloud cover. This type of meter com¬bines these factors into a single number so you can quickly take into account the conditions you are in.
What is Black Globe Temperature (TG)?
Skin can burn when it comes in contact with exposed machinery, tools and containers left in hot direct sunlight. Black Globe Temperature represents the integrated effects of radiation and wind on these objects.
Accurately measure Temperature, wind chill, wind direction with Kestrel weather meters.
Simples Steps to cleaning the impeller of the Kestrel Weather Meter.
