Kestrel DROPs are small, rugged, and accurate environmental data loggers. The Kestrel Drop D1 targets many markets, Transportation, Agriculture, Firefighting, Facilities Management, Medical, Pharmaceutical, Consumer and others.

Made in the USA quality standards and durability from NK, manufacturer of Kestrel Meters, the applications are endless. From measuring environmental data during cargo transport to conditions in the field for military training to monitoring climate conditions in any room, shipped box, cargo, trailer, freight container, to as simple as a room in home or office, you are able to measure all of these conditions even when you’re physically not there. Take a look at these options to attach your DROP right where you need it.

DURABILITY:

Built to Kestrel’s brand specific rugged durability standard, the Kestrel DROPs are waterproof (IP67 standard can be submersed in 1M of water for 30 minutes) and drop-tested to MIL-STD-810G. Users may set threshold alarms where an in-app pop-up will notify a user in range that certain measurement criteria have been met.

    Agriculture (Bury It!)

    We buried one 4" in clay soil and acquired the signal December – April. (We also buried at 10 and 40", not able to connect until I dug them up!!)  Sprayed them off, replaced the battery, good as new! If someone wants to bury a DROP, we recommend the D1 as there are fewer openings for water penetration. Spec for DROPs are rated IP67 waterproof for 30 minutes; as long as they are not “submerged”.  A user could always place one in a waterproof bag if they feared standing water for longer durations of time.

    Product Questions

    Set the logging rate to the max, 12 hours. You could set the data refresh rate to its max, 1 minute, but that will only have an effect when connected to the DROP. Also if you connect to the DROP in colder weather, this will affect battery life more than in warmer temperatures. If possible, warm up the DROP before doing a data upload to Kestrel LiNK to help with battery life.

    ... Permalink

    This is really just personal preference. If the DROP name is related to its location or purpose, then obviously changing the name would be helpful each time.

    ... Permalink

    Yes. Once you make the settings to the DROP (custom name, logging rate, data refresh rate), those settings stay with the DROP itself. This means that all anyone else would have to do is download the Kestrel LiNK) app from the Google or iTunes App store and connect to the DROP to access.

    This is dependent on a setting for the DROP in the Manage Data Log section. If you go to Manage->Manage Data Log, you will notice a Wrap Log toggle button. If the Wrap Log toggle button is slid to the right (indicates ON), then the oldest logged data will be overwritten when the data logger is full. If the slide is to the left (indicates OFF), then no more data will be collected when the data logger becomes full.

    The Stats page shows the data that is currently stored in the logger on the DROP. Currently you need to disconnect and reconnect to acquire more data, so the Refresh is useful only during an active download. You can hit the Refresh button to populate more Stats as they are in the process of being downloaded to the application.

    You must disconnect and then reconnect the DROP to get any additional logged data uploaded into the program. You can do this by closing and re-opening the program as long as Device Power Saving is turned ON.

    Our DROPs use the standard CR2025 battery coin cell which can provide 3-4 months of battery life. If you want, the DROPs can use a CR2050 battery which can get you an extra month or two of battery life, however you will need to change the battery door and purchase a Kestrel 123 battery door for the DROP to make it fit

    No the DROP will not connect with the Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app. The app does not have a ballistic solver in it so you need to have a 2700 or 5700 in order for it to work correctly. However there are other 3rd party apps that will work with the DROP. Here is a list of them: 3rd Party Apps
