Introduction
The PS-2134 Type-K Temperature Sensor measures tem-
perature from a “Type-K” thermocouple probe. The tip of the
probe has a temperature rang of -200°C to 1000°C. The insu-
lation on the probe can withstand temperatures between
-73°C and 482°C.
The sensor is designed to work with a PASPORT-compatible
interface (such as the PASCO 850 Universal Interface) and
PASCO data acquisition software (such as PASCO Cap-
stone) to measure temperature.
Setup the Sensor
•
Plug the sensor into one of the PASPORT input ports of
a PASCO PASPORT-compatible interface.
NOTE: If more distance is needed between the sensor and
the interface, plug the sensor into a Sensor Extension Cable,
and then plug the cable into the interface.
•
Plug the “Type-K” thermocouple probe into the sensor.
•
Start the PASCO data acquisition software.
Using PASCO Capstone Software
•
Click the “Hardware Setup” icon in the Tools palette to
open the “Hardware Setup” panel. Confirm that the sen-
sor’s icon appears with the interface’s icon.
•
Click one of the display templates in the Capstone work-
book page, or double-click an icon in the “Displays”
palette to open a data display.
