Introduction
The PS-2133 Respiration Rate Sensor consists of an inflat-
able Respiration Belt and a Relative Pressure Sensor. The
sensor includes a hose and coupler kit (not shown).
The sensor is designed to work with a PASPORT-compatible
interface (such as the UI-5100 850 Universal Interface) and
PASCO data acquisition software (such as PASCO Cap-
stone). With the data acquisition software, the sensor can be
used to measure change in pressure over a period of time.
The pressure changes correspond to the respiration (breath-
ing) rate.
The Respiration Belt has the following features:
•
Quick Connector that can be attached to the pressure
port on the sensor.
•
Squeeze bulb with release valve for inflating and deflat-
ing the rubber bladder inside the belt.
•
Hook-and-pile material sewn onto opposite sides of the
belt.
Setup the Respiration Rate Sensor
•
Plug the Relative Pressure Sensor into one of the
PASPORT input ports of a PASCO interface. Or, con-
nect the sensor to a PASPORT Sensor Extension Cable
and plug the cable into an input port.
