Introduction

The Wireless Temperature Sensor measures temperature over a
range of -40 °C to 125 °C. The stainless steel temperature probe
is more durable than a glass thermometer and is able to work in
a wide variety of situations. The temperature measurement is
transmitted wirelessly through Bluetooth and is recorded and
displayed by PASCO Capstone or SPARKvue on a connected
tablet or computer. Since each sensor has a unique device ID
number, more than one can be connected to the same computer
or tablet at a time.

The Wireless Temperature Sensor is powered by a replaceable
three volt coin cell battery and is well-suited for continuous
recording and discrete measurements. The sensor is designed
to optimize the battery usage time.

The sensor housing is water resistant, but immersing it in water
may cause a loss of wireless connection. Only the Temperature
Probe should be exposed to the substance being measured. Do
not immerse the sensor housing in boiling hot water.

Get the software

You can use the sensor with SPARKvue or PASCO Capstone
software. If you’re not sure which to use, visit
