SETTING REFERENCE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE &

ALTITUDE: KESTREL 2500 & KESTREL 3500 ONLY

The Kestrel Meter measures “station pressure,” which changes in

response to both changes in altitude and changes in atmosphere.

Barometric pressure is a measurement of the air pressure adjusted to

sea level. To obtain accurate barometric pressure and altitude

readings, you must first enter EITHER your location’s current

barometric pressure OR your current altitude.
*Station pressure is displayed if the reference altitude is set to zero.

Starting with Known Altitude for your Location
• Use

or

to highlight the “BARO” screen.

• Press

and

simultaneously until the word “REF”

starts blinking on screen.

• Use

or

to adjust the value to the correct known

Altitude.

• Press

and

simultaneously to exit the reference

setting mode.

After the Altitude reference is set, place the unit on a table and allow

it to stabilize. The accurate Barometric Pressure reading will then be

displayed on screen.

Note the correct barometric pressure reading

above and use this measurement to set the
Altitude:
• Use

or

to highlight the “Altitude” screen.

• Press

and

simultaneously until the word “REF”

starts blinking on screen.

• Use

or

to adjust the value to the barometric

pressure measurement noted above.

• Press

and

simultaneously again to exit the

setting mode.

Starting with Known Barometric Pressure for your

Location
• Use

or

to highlight the “Altitude” screen.

• Press

and

simultaneously until the word “REF” starts

blinking on screen.

• Use

or

to adjust the reference value to the correct

known Barometric Pressure.

• Press

and

simultaneously again to exit the setting

mode.

After the Pressure reference is set, place the unit on a table and allow

it to stabilize. The accurate Altitude reading will then be displayed

on screen.

Note the correct altitude reading above and use this to

set the Barometric Pressure:
• Use

or

to highlight the “BARO” screen.

• Press

and

simultaneously until the word “REF” starts

blinking on screen.

• Use

or

to adjust the reference value to the correct

known Altitude.

• Press

and

simultaneously again to exit the

setting mode.

Once these steps are complete, both screens will display

accurate readings.

*Be sure to adjust your reference measurements when you change your

location for altitude and/or barometric pressure or when there has been

dramatic change in weather conditions.
