Introduction

The Wireless Temperature Sensor measures 

temperature over a range from -40° C to +125°C. The 

stainless steel temperature probe is more durable than a 

glass thermometer and is able to work in a variety of 

situations. The temperature measurement is transmitted 

wirelessly through 

and recorded and 

displayed by the PASCO software on a connected 

wireless device such as a tablet or computer. The 

Wireless Temperature Sensor is powered by a 

replaceable three volt coin cell battery (included) and is 

well-suited for continuous recording and discrete 

measurements. The sensor is designed to optimize the 

battery usage time.

Since each sensor has a unique Device ID number, 

more than one can be connected to a computer or tablet 

at the same time. 

The sensor housing is water resistant, but immersing it 

in water may cause a loss of wireless connection. Do not 

immerse the sensor housing in boiling hot water. Put 

only the Temperature Probe into the substance being 

measured.

ON/OFF Information

To turn the sensor on, press and hold the ON button 

until the status LEDs start blinking. To turn the sensor 

off, press and momentarily hold the ON button until the 

status LEDs stop blinking. (See the LED information.)

The sensor puts itself to sleep after several minutes of 

inactivity if not connected, and after about one hour of 

inactivity if connected. 

Data Collection Software
