Introduction

The PASCO Wireless Temperature Link is a versatile 
measuring device that can connect to a computer or mobile 
device wirelessly through Bluetooth (BLE). It has a 
PS-2135 Fast Response Temperature Probe with a wide 
temperature range (-35 to +135°C). 

The temperature 

measurement is transmitted wirelessly through 

Bluetooth 

(BLE) 

and recorded and displayed by the PASCO software

 

such as SPARKvue or PASCO Capstone. SPARKvue 
allows the sensor to work with a computer or with a mobile 
device such as a tablet or smart-phone when the sensor is 
connected. PASCO Capstone will work on a PC or Mac. 

Data Collection Software

See the PASCO web site at 

www.pasco.com/software

 for 

help in selecting the right PASCO software and to check for 
the latest versions.

Features

The Wireless Temperature 

Link

 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 

sensor 

can be connected to a computer or 

tablet at the same time. 

The sensor housing is water resistant, but 

not waterproof. I

mmersing it in water may cause a loss of wireless 

connection. 

Put only 

the Temperature Probe into the substance being measured.

Connect the Temperature Probe or other Apparatus

Put the 3.5 mm diameter plug of the temperature probe (or other apparatus) into the 3.5 mm diameter port on the 
Wireless Temperature Link.

ON/OFF and Sleep Information

To turn the sensor on, press and 

hold

 the ON/OFF button. When the Battery LED shines red for a moment, release 

the ON button. Then, the Bluetooth LED will blink. This indicates that the sensor is ready to be “paired” with a 
device using the data collection software.
