Maximizing Battery Life

One of the factors that affects battery life is the storage 

temperature. Therefore, avoid storing the sensor in very 

cold or very hot environments. 

Suggested Experiments

Practically any experiment that uses a carbon dioxide 

gas measurement can be done with the PS-3208 

Wireless CO

2

 Sensor. See the PASCO Web site at

www.pasco.com/products/lab-manuals 

and also select “Training & Resources” at the top of the 

page for more information about experiments. 

Or, enter “carbon dioxide” into the Search window at
