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.
