Determine the Bluetooth Version of My PASCO Device

How do I tell if my PASCO scientific wireless uses Bluetooth Low Energy or Bluetooth Classic?
If the part number for the sensor or interface starts with PS-32## then this sensor or interface will use the Bluetooth 4.0 protocol. If the sensor or interface number starts with a PS or UI prefix, the sensor or interface will use the Bluetooth 2.0 or 2.1 protocol.

To determine if you need an additional adapter for these, please go to www.pasco.com/compatibility

The following interfaces and sensors use the BT 2.0 or BT 2.1 protocol.
PS-2600 Wireless Spectrometer
PS-2235 Wireless Polarimeter
UI-5001 550 Universal Interface
PS-2009A SPARKlink Air
PS-2010 Airlink

Generally, BLE devices can be connected simply within the PASCO application, while Bluetooth Classic devices must first be paired with a computing device's operating system.
