To install the sensing element
1. Unscrew the stopper from the sensor by turning
the stopper counterclockwise.
2. Remove the sensing element from the storage
bottle, then connect it to the sensor (Figure 1).
CAUTION: Make sure that the temperature and
humidity sensor does not get wedged under the
sensing element.
3. Screw the stopper back on the sensor.
NOTE: The sensing element only needs to be installed
when using the sensor for the first time. The sensing
element will not need to be removed until replacement is
necessary (at least two years).
Figure 1. Installation of the sensing element.
To charge the battery
1. Connect the micro USB cable to the micro USB
port on the sensor then connect the other end of
the cable to a USB charger.
2. Allow the battery to charge for at least three
hours. The battery status LED will turn green
when fully charged.
NOTE: The sensor can remain connected to a power
source when fully charged without damaging the
battery. The sensor automatically stops charging the
battery when fully charged.
To connect the sensor to software
The sensor automatically connects with the software
when connected to a device via USB. Use the procedures
below to connect the sensor to the software via Bluetooth.
SPARKvue
1. Press and hold the power button until the
Bluetooth status LED starts flashing red.
2. Open SPARKvue and select Sensor Data.
3. Under Connected Devices, select the sensor that
matches your device ID.
PASCO Capstone
1. Press and hold the power button until the
Bluetooth status LED starts flashing red.
2. Open Capstone and click Hardware Setup.
3. Select the sensor that matches your device ID.
To calibrate the sensor
The sensor should be calibrated before using the sensor
for the first time. It is not necessary to calibrate the sensor
each time the sensor is used. Calibration is recommended
if the O
2
Concertation reading for an atmospheric sample
is greater than ±1% from 20.9%.
SPARKvue
1. Collect an atmospheric air sample (see the
Collecting Samples procedure).
2. Connect the sensor to SPARKvue and set up
data collection.
3. Select the Hardware Setup icon.
4. Select the Calibration icon.
5. Select Calibrate.
6. Select OK to confirm calibration.
