LED Information

The Bluetooth connection LED (light-emitting diode) and 
the battery status LED operate as follows:

*

Logging

: PASCO wireless sensors can either stream live 

data to a compatible device or log data (save it to the 
sensor’s memory). The data can then be uploaded to the 
device for display and analysis at a later time. Logging 
capability supports long-term or remote data collection 
while not connected to the device. 

Note: Versions of SPARKvue and PASCO Capstone 
available in 2016 will support logging. Check the PASCO 
Web page at:

www.pasco.com/software

for the latest software version.

Set-up

Connecting the pH Probe

Hold the Wireless pH Sensor in one hand and the pH 
Probe in the other. Align the tabs on the sensor’s BNC 
connector with the slots on the BNC connector at the end of 
the pH Probe. Push the probe’s BNC connector onto the 
sensor’s BNC connector. Twist the probe’s BNC connector 
clockwise (left-to-right) about one-quarter turn to lock it in 
place.

To remove the pH Probe from the Wireless pH Sensor, 
reverse the process. NOTE: When removing the probe, it 
may help to push the pH Probe onto the pH Sensor 
connector slightly before twisting the BNC connector 
counter-clockwise to release the probe. 

Removing the Storage 
Bottle

1.

Hold the pH Probe vertically so 
that the solution will not spill out 
of the bottle.

2.

Unscrew the plastic cap and 
remove the bottle. Keep the 
storage solution for later use.

3.

Push the bottle cap and the 
rubber washer up the pH Probe 
shaft to keep them out of the 
way.
