Three types of miniature thermistor are available:
Skin and body temperature sensor TS103. Range: 20 to 40 °C.
Wide range temperature sensor TS104. Range: -10 to 110 °C.
Mini Temperature Probe TS109. Range: 10 to 70°C.

The Wide Range Temperature Sensor is preferred because it has a wider operating range and may be used in more experiments.

New customers should purchase the Wide Range Temperature Sensor (TS104).

If you are already using either Skin and Body Temperature Thermistors (TS 103) or Mini Temperature Probes (10 to 70°C) - TS109 there is no need to change.

Skin & Body Temperature sensors should be used for body measurements with the TecTrio interface. The Wide Range Temperature sensor is not sensitive enough when used with the TecTrio.

The miniature thermistor type you are using can be selected in the WinTec and Psychology software.

At the Quick Start menu, check that the probe type shown in the Quick Start equipment list matches your sensors. There are two settings in the Quick Start menu under Options. "Type of Miniature thermistor" and "Replace Skin and Body Temperature sensor with...".

If you are using Wide Range Temperature" sensors, then check that "Use Wide Range Thermistor (-10 to 110°C)" is selected under "Type of miniature thermistor".

If your school is using Mini Temperature Probes, then check that "Use Mini Temperature Probe (10 to 70°C)" is selected.

If you do not have "Skin & Body Temperature" but the experiment shows Skin & Body in the equipment list, go to the Quick Start Options menu, place a tick next to "Replace Skin and Body with Wide Range Thermistor ". If you have selected the option to Use Mini Temperature Probe, then the menu option will show "Replace Skin and Body Temperature sensor with Mini Temperature Probe".

You only need to make this selection once. The program will remember your selection of miniature thermistor type and whether you have opted to replace the Skin and Body Temperature sensor.

Temperature range of 20 to 40 degrees (celsius)
Accuracy - within 0.3°C

*New customers should purchase the Wide range temperature sensor (TS104) rather than the Skin and Body Temperature Thermistor (TS 103).

Temperature range of -10 to 110 degrees (celsius).

*New customers should purchase the Miniature Thermistor - Wide Range rather than the Skin and Body Temperature Thermistor (TS 103).

The sensors consist of just two wires, so they are cheap and versatile.

The 'Type K' Thermocouple has a temperature range of 0 to 1200 degrees (celsius).

Note: requires Thermocouple Adaptor    TS107.
