Connecting the Thermistor Sensor to
a Computer Interface
1. Connect the 8-pin DIN plug of the Thermistor Sensor
into analog channel A, B, or C of a ScienceWorkshop
computer interface (Figure 2a).
or
Use the supplied DIN cable to connect the Thermistor
Sensor to the analog channel of the interface box
(Figure 2b).
2. Connect the cable assembly to the Thermistor Sensor
(See Figures 3a and 3b). [Note: Use the BNC cable
assembly for 100K thermistors and the stereo jack cable
for 10K thermistors.]
3. (For external thermistors): Attach the alligator clips to
the banana plugs on the cable. Clip an alligator clip
over each end of thermistor.

Connecting the BNC-to-Dual Banana Plug Cable
to the CI-6527A Thermistor Sensor
The BNC-to-dual banana plug cable (Figure 3a) is
used with 100K thermistors. To plug the BNC cable
into the Thermistor Sensor, insert the BNC metal
connector into the BNC jack on the sensor, and turn
the connector clockwise until it snaps in place.

the BNC jack on the Thermistor sensor.
Connecting the Stereo-to-Dual Banana Plug Cable
to the CI-6527A Thermistor Sensor
The stereo-to-dual banana plug cable (Figure 3b) is
used with 10K thermistors. PASCO’s more recent
thermal products contain built-in 10K thermistors and
come with a stereo-to-dual banana plug cable. To
order a stereo-to-dual banana plug cable separately,
use part no. 514-08366.

To plug the stereo-to-dual banana plug cable into the
Thermistor Sensor, insert the stereo plug into the stereo
jack on the top of the sensor (Figure 3b).
