Introduction
The Wireless Temperature Sensor measures
temperature over a range from -40° C to +125°C. The
stainless steel temperature probe is more durable than a
glass thermometer and is able to work in a variety of
situations. The temperature measurement is transmitted
wirelessly through
and recorded and
displayed by the PASCO software on a connected
wireless device such as a tablet or computer. The
Wireless Temperature Sensor is powered by a
replaceable three volt coin cell battery (included) and is
well-suited for continuous recording and discrete
measurements. The sensor is designed to optimize the
battery usage time.
Since each sensor has a unique Device ID number,
more than one can be connected to a computer or tablet
at the same time.
The sensor housing is water resistant, but immersing it
in water may cause a loss of wireless connection. Do not
immerse the sensor housing in boiling hot water. Put
only the Temperature Probe into the substance being
measured.
ON/OFF Information
To turn the sensor on, press and hold the ON button
until the status LEDs start blinking. To turn the sensor
off, press and momentarily hold the ON button until the
status LEDs stop blinking. (See the LED information.)
The sensor puts itself to sleep after several minutes of
inactivity if not connected, and after about one hour of
inactivity if connected.
