Wireless CO2 Sensor - PS-3208

PS3208_MAIN.jpg

Overview

Use this wireless sensor to measure the concentration of Carbon Dioxide gas in a closed system or open environment. Study core topics (including photosynthesis, respiration, and carbon cycling) with this versatile probe.

CO2 data can be logged directly on the device for long term life science and environmental science studies.

New Accessory:  The Dissolved Water Proof CO2 Sleeve (PS-3545)  shields the sensor from water, but is permeable to CO2 allowing for measurements of dissolved carbon dioxide levels. This PASCO exclusive opens up new applications for this carbon dioxide sensor.

Typical Applications

  • Measure CO2 uptake during photosynthesis in a terrarium
  • Compare indoor vs. outdoor CO2 levels
  • Study cellular respiration of yeast
  • Conduct chemical reaction studies

Special Features

  • Simplicity: just pair and go
  • Variable sampling rate for capturing small fast changes or experiments that run for hours, days, or weeks.
  • Features convenient Bluetooth wireless connectivity and long-lasting rechargeable battery
  • Logs carbon dioxide gas data directly onto the sensor for long-term experiments.

Bluetooth 4 Connectivity

Required Software:

PASCO products that use Bluetooth® 4 technology - wireless sensors, smart carts, and the AirLink Interface - require the latest versions of our software.

PASCO Capstone is available for Mac and Windows. SPARKvue  is available for Mac, Windows, iOS, Android and Chromebooks.

Additionally, the Wireless Motion Sensor and Wireless Smart Carts can be connected via Bluetooth and used with our MatchGraph! app.

Compatibility/System requirements

Any current model Chromebook, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android tablet or Android phone will support direct connection to PASCO Bluetooth 4 devices. Also, any Windows 10 device w/ Creators Edition 1703 or later will support direct connection.

Chromebook users MUST have the latest firmware updates for ALL wireless sensors in order to use them without the USB Bluetooth Adapter. Full information.

All other windows computers/tablets, older Macs, and Chromebook users without updated sensor firmware currently require the PS-3500 USB Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter to connect to PASCO’s Bluetooth 4 devices.

Full compatibility details are available, including compatibility information for older computing devices.

Datalogging

Independent datalogging 

Long term data collection directly on the sensor

In logging mode wireless sensors collect data to their onboard memory for hours, days, weeks or even months at a time without needing to be connected to a computer, tablet, Chromebook or smartphone.

When the experiment is concluded, simply connect the sensor to a device running PASCO software and download all the measurements it recorded.
