Kestrel DROP D1 Wireless Temperature Monitor and Data Logger Overview

A Kestrel DROP is the world’s easiest-to-use rugged environmental data logger. It allows you to monitor and record the conditions of any environment and easily access and chart real-time and historical data on your phone or tablet. A Kestrel DROP D1 logger can be placed wherever needed to log temperature with the data logs retrieved wirelessly and automatically to the Kestrel Connect app when within range(up to 100ft.). Kestrel DROP data loggers are designed to be used anywhere you need to track environmental conditions. DROP loggers meet military and international standards for water, dust and shock resistance (IP-67-30 minute submersion at 1m and MIL-STD-810G drop tested) and are equipped with a sturdy D-ring for hanging wherever needed.

DROP D1 Was Featured in Backpacker Magazine: "How many times have you been out in the backcountry and wondered, 'How cold did it get last night?' or 'Exactly how hot was that scorching hike?' We wonder that all the time when we're out testing, and now with the Kestrel DROP we finally have the data we want."

Use a DROP Anywhere - Small, Accurate, Rugged and Waterproof Kestrel DROP loggers are designed to be used anywhere you need to track environmental conditions. 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). The Kestrel DROP D1 employs a sealed precision thermistor mounted externally and thermally isolated for rapid response to monitor and record temperature over an operational and specification range of 14°F to 131°F (10°C to 55°C) within +/- 0.9°F (0.5°C) accuracy. Each Kestrel DROP Data Logger is powered by one easily replaceable CR2032 lithium coin cell battery that will last up to 4 months (typical conditions and logging/connection settings). The DROP D1 holds more than 13,000 temperature readings. DROPs Are Powered by the Kestrel LiNK App

• DOWNLOAD KESTREL LiNK FOR IOS
• DOWNLOAD KESTREL LiNK FOR ANDROID

Kestrel LiNK is the free app that powers the DROP loggers. With Kestrel Connect, you can view real-time readings from any DROP logger within wireless range (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 log is viewable as a scrolling graph with detailed data for each logged point. The 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. 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 4.2 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. 

American-Made Quality and a Five-Year Warranty Every Kestrel environmental instrument is designed and built entirely in the USA. Kestrel’s history and focus on quality and ruggedness is reflected in the DROP’s industry-leading five-year warranty. Kestrel has been building rugged environmental instruments that help people do their jobs more safely and efficiently for more than fifteen years and has built a reputation for reliability one meter at a time.

Connectivity

Kestrel LiNK for iOS & Android

The Kestrel LiNK® App for iOS/Android allows you to Wirelessly connect with iOS and Android devices and remotely view real-time environmental data and receive alerts for changing conditions. Available for your Kestrel 5 Series Meter or DROP Logger, Kestrel LiNK also provides easy transfer of the Kestrel’s stored data log, a clear graph of all historical data. Alerts can be customized based on temperature, heat index, wind, or other measurements. LiNK enables easy firmware updates of Kestrel 5 series meters.

Data is transmitted wirelessly via Bluetooth® Low Energy within wireless range (100’ line of sight– reduced by walls and obstructions). Mobile device and Kestrel must remain within range to trigger alerts.

SENSORS
SENSORS	ACCURACY (+/-)	RESOLUTION	SPECIFICATION RANGE	NOTES
AmbientTemperature	0.9 °F 0.5 °C	0.1 °F 0.1 °C	14 to 131°F -10 to 55 °C	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.
Pressure	1.5 hPa|mbar 0.044 inHg 0.022 PSI	0.1 hPa|mbar 0.01 inHg 0.01 PSI	25°C/77°F 700-1100 hPa|mbar 20.67-32.48 inHg 10.15-15.95 PSI	Monolithic silicon piezo-resistive pressure sensor with second-order temperature correction. Between 1100–1600 mbar, unit will operate with reduced accuracy. Sensor may not operate above 1600 mbar and can be damaged above 6,000 mbar or below 10 mbar. Calibration drift is negligible for the life of the product.
