Specifications
Range: -30 to +105 °C
Accuracy: ±0.5 °C
Resolution: 0.01 °C or better
Setup Procedure
1. Insert the stereo plug on the Fast Response
Temperature Probe into the port on a PASPORT
Temperature Sensor box or a ScienceWorkshop
Thermistor Sensor.
2. Connect the Temperature Sensor to either a
PASPORT interface or a ScienceWorkshop
interface.
3. To collect data, place the probe in the liquid or
object to be measured. Open DataStudio, and
click the Start button. Follow the procedure to
set up a trial and start collecting.
Using the Adhesive Mylar Cover
1. Remove one of the adhesive mylar foam cover
disks from the sheet set.
2. Carefully remove the protective backing paper.
3. Place the Fast Response Temperature Probe
sensing tip in the center of the disk adhesive.
4. Place the adhesive mylar foam disk on a
smooth (preferably hairless) skin surface
Procedure Notes:
• Calibration of the PS-2125 Temperature Sensor
and Thermistor Sensor are generally not required.
However, if you wish to calibrate the PS-2125,
follow the instructions on the card supplied with
your sensor or in the DataStudio online help. If
necessary, download the instructions from
PASCO’s website (www.pasco.com).
• If using the probe with the Thermistor Sensor, set
up your experiment in DataStudio before collecting
data. (i.e. In the Setup window, click on the
Thermistor Sensor icon and drag it to an analog
channel on the picture of the interface.)
Safety Precaution
To prevent damage to the probe, do not use the
probe in an open flame, on a hot plate, or beyond
the recommended temperature range.
