for more information.
Introduction
The PS-2125 Temperature Sensor measures temperature in
degrees fahrenheit (°F) or celsius (°C), or in kelvin (K). The
included Stainless Steel Temperature Probe has a wide
range, and the included tubing allows the probe to fit inside a
standard 0.25” diameter stopper hole.
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 Capstone
or SPARKvue) to measure temperature.
Optional Temperature Probes
The sensor can also be used with other temperature probes.
(See the PASCO catalog or visit www.paseo.com for more
information.).
The Fast Response Temperature Probe has a smaller size and
thermal mass and a range from -30 to 105 °C. The Skin/Sur-
face Temperature Probe has a range from -10 to 70 °C.
Sensor Usage
• Do not place the sensor box or the cable of the probe in
liquids.
• Do not place the probe in a flame or on a hot plate.
• Do not use the probe in liquids other than water or
mildly acidic solutions*.
(*Put a Teflon Sensor Cover - available separately - on the
probe if you plan to use it with strong acids, etc. The cover
has a Chemical Resistance Classification of “E” (acetalde-
hyde to zinc stearate.))
