Overview
The KestrelMet 6000 is a reliable, cost-effective, all-in-one professional weather station for commercial, industrial, educational, and research applications. It is easily deployable, remote, and arrives pre-assembled for fast set-up and frustration-free installation.

Cellular Stations
Cellular versions of the KestrelMet 6000 come with a low-cost cellular plan through AT&T or Verizon, with the first three months of service provided at no extra charge. Users can access live data through the Ambient Weather Network (AWN) application and portal, making it easy to monitor weather conditions remotely.
*Note: cellular transmission is set at 15-minute intervals.

Mounting Options
Choose between the Mono Mount Kit or the Tripod Mount Kit to best fit research needs. Both options offer quick installation and a secure mounting system. The Mono Mount can be used on a pitched or flat roof and a vertical surface like a gable end. The Tripod can be used on flat terrain, on a flat roof, or the ridge of a pitched roof.

Design
Solar radiation can cause measurement errors and reduce sensor accuracy. Shielding over the air temperature and relative humidity sensors and a 24-hour aspirated fan keeps air moving constantly over the sensors. This significantly improves measurement accuracy compared to passive-shielded weather stations with no aspiration fan.

Wind speed is measured continuously and stored in station memory as a series of 2 second averages. The reported wind speed is the average over the 15 minute logging interval. The highest measured speed during the logging interval is reported as the gust value.
Wind Direction 1° - 360° Wind direction is measured continuously and stored in station memory as a series of 2 second averages. The reported wind direction is the average scalar direction over the 15 minute logging interval. The gust direction is the average scalar direction for the 2 second record corresponding to the gust value.

Questions & Answers
What mobile carrier should I select? Does it have to match my existing plan?
You should choose the mobile carrier that has the best coverage for your area. It does not matter which carrier you personally use as you can see the data without having an AT&T or Verizon account.
What is the optimal installation location for the KestrelMet 6000?
Sun coverage is important to keep the unit powered. Choosing a place with adequate sunlight will help keep it powered in low sun / cloudy conditions. The other consideration is in a unsheltered area to help catch the current wind conditions, bearing in mind that you may have to clean the rain gauge occasionally. Lastly, if you mount it next to something that radiates heat (i.e., a black fence), this could slightly raise the temperature readings. If you are using a tripod mount, you may want to secure it to the ground or weigh it down in higher wind areas.
