Thermistor Pod

Overview:

The Thermistor Pod is suitable for biological measurements such as skin and nasal temperature and respiration detection in the range 5°C to 45°C. It also supports both absolute and relative temperature measurements. A DC offset provides the means for differential thermometry with resolutions of 0.001°C.

Compatible transducers include the:
MLT422/A Skin Temperature Probe (2 m)
MLT415/A Nasal Temperature Probe
MLT415/M Thermistor Temperature Sensor

The ML309 Thermistor Pod is not galvanically isolated.

Hardware:
ADInstruments signal conditioners only function with PowerLab data acquisition units and therefore are not suitable for use with other data acquisition systems.

Features:

• Voltage amplification to produce 50 mV/°C within the temperature range 5°C to 50°C.
• A 3-pole 10 Hz low-pass filter to reduce noise bandwidth.
• A switchable offset circuit which provides a delta temperature mode for relative temperature measurement.

Applications:

The Thermistor Pod is suitable for biological temperature measurements such as skin temperature measurements, nasal temperature and respiration detection.
