WirelessTem peratureSensor with OLED Display
Introduction
The Wireless Temperature Sensor with OLED Display measures
temperature over a range of -40 °C to 125 °C. The stainless steel
temperature probe is more durable than a glass thermometer and is
able to work in a wide variety of situations. The sensor is powered by a
rechargeable battery, which can be charged using the included USB-C
cable, and is designed to optimize the battery usage time. The mounting
rod hole on the side of the sensor allows you to mount the sensor on a
¼-20 threaded rod.
The temperature measurement is displayed at all times on the built-
in OLED display and can be toggled between three different units at
any time. The measurement can also be transmitted (either wirelessly
through Bluetooth or via the included USB-C cable) to a connected
computer or tablet to be recorded and displayed by PASCO Capstone,
SPARKvue, or chemvue. Since each sensor has a unique device ID
number, more than one can be connected to the same computer or tablet
at a time.
CAUTION: Do NOT immerse the body of the sensor in liquid!
The casing is not waterproof, and exposing the sensor body
to water or other liquids may cause electric shock or serious
damage to the sensor. Only 1-2 inches of the probe need to
be immersed in the liquid to obtain an accurate temperature
measurement.

Connect the included USB-C cable here to connect the sensor
to a standard USB charging port. You can also use this port
to connect the sensor to a computer via a standard USB port,
allowing you to send data to SPARKvue, PASCO Capstone, or
chemvue without using Bluetooth.
Power button

Press to turn the sensor on. Quickly press twice to toggle the
measurement units on the OLED display between degrees
Celsius (°C), degrees Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K). Press and
hold to turn the sensor off.
Initialstep:Charge the battery
Charge the battery by connecting the included USB-C cable between the
USB-C port and any standard USB charger. The Battery Status LED is
solid yellow while charging. When fully charged, the LED changes to
