Congratulations on the purchase of your Kestrel 4200 Pocket Air Flow Tracker! The Kestrel 4200 is
our newest and most comprehensive HVAC-specific instrument. It not only measures EVERY major
environmental condition easily, accurately and right in the palm of your hand, but now also automatically
calculates Volume Air Flow (CFM) and Humidity Ratio (grains).
While the Kestrel 4200 is user-friendly and simple to use, reading the instruction manual is recommended in
order to use the Kestrel 4200 to its fullest potential.
NK, manufacturer of Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters, is available to answer questions
and provide support. Contact NK by phone: 610.447.1555, fax: 610.447.1577, email:
