Description
The Kestrel 5400FW Fire Weather Meter Pro WBST with LiNK, Compass & Vane Mount
Wildland firefighters train to withstand the challenge of heavy exertion in extreme conditions. Building heat acclimatization without incurring heat illness or injury is challenging. WBGT is a much more complete measure of heat stress for the firefighter because it includes the effects of the radiant heat of the sun, fire, or hot surfaces. The Kestrel Fire Weather Meter PRO adds the WBGT measurement to the full capability of the Fire Weather Meter Pro making it the complete tool for monitoring WBGT and fire weather during training or operations. With pre-programmed ACGIH guidelines and alert settings to indicate when conditions have become extremely unsafe, the Kestrel Fire Weather Meter PRO with WBGT is the ultimate tool for increasing the safety of your crew.
The Kestrel 5400 Fire Weather Pro WBGT is a rugged, compact and easy-to-use portable weather station. Clip the Kestrel 5400FW into the secure tripod vane mount to set up a weather and heat safety monitoring station in seconds. Measure wind speed, direction, temperature, humidity, pressure, dew point, density altitude, Probability of Ignition (PIG), Fine Dead Fuel Moisture (FDFM) and more.
The 5400FW has the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG), Probability of Ignition (PIG), and Fine Dead Fuel Moisture (FDFM) tables built right in, eliminating the complexity, time and errors involved in using paper lookup tables. Unlike a traditional belt weather kit, the 5400FW is ready to take all readings instantly, and log temperature, humidity, and pressure.
The Kestrel 5400FW measures:
- Altitude (Barometric), Barometric Pressure, Compass Direction, Crosswind, Density Altitude
- Dew Point Temperature, Fine Dead Fuel Moisture (FDFM), Headwind/Tailwind, Heat Stress Index
- Naturally Aspirated Wet Bulb Temperature, Probability of Ignition (PIG), Relative Humidity
- Station Pressure (Absolute Pressure), Temperature, Thermal Work Limit (TWL)
- Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), Wet Bulb Temperature (Psychrometric), Wind Chill, Wind Speed
Heat Stress Safety: Training & Operations
Wildland firefighters train to withstand the challenge of heavy exertion in extreme conditions. Building heat acclimatization is a critical component of training, but doing so without incurring heat illness or injury is equally critical and challenging. Heat illness prevention programs recommend measuring Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) and implementing ACGIH work/recovery and hydration guidelines. WBGT is a much more complete measure of heat stress for the firefighter because it includes the radiant heat of the sun, fire, or hot surfaces in the model.
