Included Equipment

1.

Non-contact Temperature Sensor

2.

Sensor Handle

Additional Items Required*

PASCO Interface and Data Collection Software

(*See the PASCO catalog or web site at 
www.pasco.com for more information.)

Quick Start

1. Connect the Non-contact Temperature Sensor to a 

PASCO interface, connect the interface to a com

-

puting device, and start the software.

2. Click Record or press Start to begin collecting 

data.

3. Point the sensor at an object or surface. 

The sensor measures the temperature of the surface filling 

its field of view. The temperature is recorded and displayed 

on the computing device (such as a computer, tablet, or 

smart phone).

Introduction

The Non-contact Temperature Sensor measures surface 

temperature by detecting infrared light emitted by 

objects. It features the ability to measure objects without 

touching them, a very fast response (less than 0.1 s), 

and a wide measurement range (-70 °C to 380 °C).

The Non-contact Temperature Sensor connects to a 

computer via a PASCO interface. Measurements are 

recorded and displayed by the computer or datalogger. 

The sensor can be used for continuous recording and 

discrete measurements.

Set-up

Connecting the Sensor

1. Plug the sensor into a PASPORT input port on the 

interface. You can connect the sensor directly to 

the port or use a PASPORT Extension Cable 

(PASCO part PS-2500).

2. Connect the PASCO interface to a computing 

device and start the PASCO Software.

Positioning the Sensor

Point the aperture of the sensor at the surface or object 

to be measured. Ensure that the object fills the senor’s 

field of view (see Figure 1.2); smaller objects need to be 

closer to the sensor.

Unit of Measure

By default, the sensor reads temperature on the Celsius 

scale. Change the unit-of-measure setting in the software 

to read absolute temperature in units of K or temperature 

on the Fahrenheit scale.
