Introduction

The PS-2132 Charge Sensor measures charge in coulombs
(C) and voltage in volts (V). The sensor is designed to work
with a PASPORT-compatible interface (such as the UI-5100
850 Universal Interface) and PASCO data acquisition soft-

ware (such as PASCO Capstone) to measure charge and volt-
age.
The sensor includes a BNC-to-Alligator Clip cable that can
be connected to the BNC port on the sensor and to electro-
static equipment such as the Faraday Ice Pail. The sensor
also has a "ZERO" button that can be used to zero the sensor
by removing residual charge.

Setup the Sensor

NOTE: If more distance is needed between the sensor and
the interface, plug the sensor into the included Sensor Exten-
sion Cable, and then plug the cable into the interface.
