Introduction
The PS-2143 Quad Temperature Sensor measures tempera-
ture from up to four temperature probes simultaneously in
units of degrees celsius, fahrenheit, and kelvin (°C, °F, °K).
The sensor includes two Stainless Steel Temperature Probes
(PS-2153), three Fast Response Temperature Probes
(PS-2135), a piece of polyurethane tubing, and a sheet of
adhesive disk covers. The tubing can be used when a Stain-
less Steel Temperature Probe is inserted into a stopper, and
the adhesive disk covers can be used to hold the end of a Fast
Response Temperature Probe in place.
The sensor is designed to work with a PASPORT-compatible
interface and PASCO data acquisition software (such as
PASCO Capstone) to measure temperature.
Setup the Sensor
• Plug the sensor into one of the PASPORT input ports of
a PASCO PASPORT-compatible interface.
NOTE: If more distance is needed between the sensor and
the interface, plug the sensor into a Sensor Extension Cable,
and then plug the cable into the interface.
• Plug one or more temperature probes into the sensor.
• Start the PASCO data acquisition software.
