Description
Easy-to-use, rugged (dustproof and water-resistant) and with high resolution, the Wireless Temperature Sensor also connects directly to all your devices without the need for an interface.
This durable, wireless, high-resolution sensor features a stainless steel temperature probe for the most demanding of applications. It can be used in a wide array of experiments and activities as it measures small but significant temperature changes produced by chemical reactions, convection currents, and even skin temperatures.
The Wireless Temperature Sensor can be used anywhere you’d use a digital thermometer, but does so much more to connect students directly to the data in real-time.
Students can access instant temperature readings but also continuously monitor, log and plot temperature data in SPARKvue on nearly any connected device.
Note: The rugged sensor housing/handle is rated for temperatures of -10 ºC to 40 ºC. This means it cannot be subjected to the same extremes as the stainless steel probe. For extremely low or high-temperature applications we recommend the Electrode Support to keep the sensor in the proper position during experiments.
