Rapid Thermistor Temperature Sensor Project Kit

Rapid Brand: Rapid
<p>The thermistor temperature sensor project has been designed specifically to support and integrate with teaching schemes for <strong>Key Stages 3 & 4</strong>. Instruction details are available and can be photocopied for class use. <br><br><b><a href="/pdf/70-0315-Thermistor-temp-project.pdf">Teachers notes are available at our Education Resources site.</a></b></p>
  • The kit is a heat sensing circuit, which can be set to recognise various temperatures through the use of a variable resistance
  • Knowledge, skills and understanding can be developed in: component recognition and purpose; PCB circuit assembly and soldering; system and circuit principles; signal tracing and fault finding; product design
  • The kit can be used for both class teaching or for individual project work
  • All components, including the PCBs are provided
  • The kit includes: resistors, amplifier IC sockets, diodes, thermistors, preset resistors, transistors, LEDs, thermistor PCB and PP3 battery clip
  • Empty PCBs are available separately in packs of 5
  • Kit contains components for 5 circuits
  • Suitable for Key Stages 3 & 4 (ages 11 to 16)
Each kit requires 1x PP3 battery (not included).

27 November 2014 Question by: Rapid Customer
Q. Hi. Just wondering is the relay on this circuit a DPDT? I'm designing a project where I need a temperature sensor to open and close windows at certain temperatures. Would connect a motor etc to the relay. Many thanks
A. Hi Technology Student. Thank you for your question. The relay in this kit is a DPDT version, please see the data sheet.

Q. What is the temperature range on this/these kits?
A. Hi Alex. Thank you for your question. The thermistor supplied will measure 20K at 25°C and approximately 1K at 100°. The unit can be adjusted via a small potentiometer.

Q. Does Thermistor Temperature Sensor Project Kit can be used with arduino? How to connect it?
A. Hi FaiZamri. Thank you for your question. The outputs would be used on the inputs of the chosen arduino. You would need to refer to the data sheet for the input pins on the arduino. The output on the thermistor kit can be used in normally open or normally closed, please see the data sheet.
