Wireless Temperature Sensor
Introduction
The Wireless Temperature Sensor measures
temperature over a range from -40° C to +125°C. The
stainless steel temperature probe is more durable than a
glass thermometer and is able to work in a variety of
situations. The temperature measurement is transmitted
wirelessly through
displayed by the PASCO software on a connected
wireless device such as a tablet or computer. The
Wireless Temperature Sensor is powered by a
replaceable three volt coin cell battery (included) and is
well-suited for continuous recording and discrete
measurements. The sensor is designed to optimize the
battery usage time.
Since each sensor has a unique Device ID number,
more than one can be connected to a computer or tablet
at the same time.
The sensor housing is water resistant, but immersing it
in water may cause a loss of wireless connection. Do not
immerse the sensor housing in boiling hot water. Put
only the Temperature Probe into the substance being
measured.
