Introduction
The PS-2113A Barometer/Low Pressure Sensor measures
atmospheric pressure in inches of mercury (Hg), hectopas-
cals (hPa), kilopascals (kPa), and millibars (mBar).
The sensor is designed to work with a PASPORT-compati-
ble interface (such as the UI-5100 850 Universal Interface)
and PASCO data acquisiition software (such as PASCO
Capstone). With the data acquisition software, the sensor can
be used to measure the barometric pressure over a period of
time, the difference in air pressure related to a change in alti-
tude, or the the change in pressure inside a plant due to tran-
spiration.
The sensor includes plastic tubing, four inline connectors,
and four quick connectors. The quick connector attaches to
the pressure port on the front end of the sensor. The inline
connector can be used to attach a piece of tubing to a
one-hole stopper, for example.
Set-Up
• Plug the Barometer/Low Pressure Sensor into one of the
PASPORT input ports of a PASCO interface.
NOTE: If more distance is needed between the sensor and
the interface, plug the sensor into a PASPORT Extension
Cable, and then plug the cable into the interface.
• Start the PASCO data acquisition software. Set up a data
display in the software. Begin recording data.
