EASY
SENSE Q3+ and Q5+
DO185 (2)
Plug-in Temperature sensors
Connect plug-in temperature sensors into
the external inputs on the back of
EASY
SENSE
Q (labelled 1:A or 2:B)
with the locating arrow facing upwards.
EASY
SENSE Q will automatically detect that a
temperature sensor is connected and will display
temperature values either in Celsius or Fahrenheit
according to which range is selected in
EASY
SENSE Q (see page 10).
Temperature measurements are taken by a thermistor, which is housed at the tip of a
stainless steel tube. The stainless steel tube is made from AISI 316 stainless steel, which
has a particularly low thermal inertia with a negligible effect on the measured
temperature. It provides a high level of resistance to corrosion from a wide variety of
weak acids and alkalis, making it suitable for use with experiments in chemistry, biology,
physics, earth and environmental science.
See page 30 for practical information about the Temperature sensor.
The sensor leads
The sensors leads are used to connect
Smart Q
sensors to
EASY
SENSE Q.
Smart Q
Sensors
are available to purchase separately and are
not
supplied with
EASY
SENSE Q or its pack.
Smart Q
sensors can be divided into two main types:
1.
Analogue – which are used to measure physical
quantities such as temperature, sound, light, pH,
etc.
A
Smart Q
sensor will ignore any sensor ranges set
in the
EASY
SENSE logger and will use the range
set in the sensor. See page 10 information on
changing a
Smart Q
sensor’s range.

pH electrode and adapter
2.
Digital - which are switch-type sensors for
measuring ON/OFF conditions such as Light gates
and Timing mats used for calculating time, speed
and acceleration.
