Instruction Sh eet01 2-08 453CType-K Temperature SensorPS-2134.*See the PASCO catalog or the PASCO web site at www.pasco.comfor more information.IntroductionThe PS-2134 Type-K Temperature Sensor measures tem-perature from a “Type-K” thermocouple probe. The tip of theprobe has a temperature rang of -200°C to 1000°C. The insu-lation on the probe can withstand temperatures between-73°C and 482°C.The sensor is designed to work with a PASPORT-compatibleinterface (such as the PASCO 850 Universal Interface) andPASCO data acquisition software (such as PASCO Cap-stone) to measure temperature.Setup the Sensor• Plug the sensor into one of the PASPORT input ports ofa PASCO PASPORT-compatible interface.NOTE: If more distance is needed between the sensor andthe interface, plug the sensor into a Sensor Extension Cable,and then plug the cable into the interface.• Plug the “Type-K” thermocouple probe into the sensor.• Start the PASCO data acquisition software.Using PASCO Capstone Software• Click the “Hardware Setup” icon in the Tools palette toopen the “Hardware Setup” panel. Confirm that the sen-sor’s icon appears with the interface’s icon.• Click one of the display templates in the Capstone work-book page, or double-click an icon in the “Displays”palette to open a data display.Type-K PortType-K TemperatureProbeIncluded ItemsType-K Temperature SensorType-K Thermocouple Probe (PS-2155)Required Items*PASCO InterfacePASCO Data Acquisition SoftwareRecommended Items*Sensor Extension Cable (PS-2500)Teflon® Sensor Covers (CI-6549)SensorPASPORTInput PortInterface
