Light logger sensor NUL-204

This sensor is very versatile with applications in many areas of the natural sciences. It can be used to study photosynthesis in biology, light-emitting chemical reactions in chemistry, the effect of changing voltage on a light-bulb’s output in physics and more.

This sensor measures illumination with three ranges; it can be used in low light environments such as in a classroom, or high light environments as in daylight outdoors.

With both fast and slow modes, it can be used to measure fast light changes such as those produced by light bulbs connected to an AC supply, as well as the almost steady levels outside on a sunny day.

The light sensor in located in a plastic box just behind an access hole.

Current logger sensor NUL-202

This sensor can be used to measure the current in parallel or series branches of low voltage AC and DC circuits and also to investigate the dependence of the current flow through components on the voltage across them.

With its 4 mm plugs it can easily be connected into electric circuits.

Voltage logger sensor NUL-201

This sensor measures voltages across various resistive, capacitive and inductive components, as well as those of photovoltaic cells, batteries and power supplies. This sensor can also be used to measure electrode potentials and to investigate the charging and discharging of capacitors.

When used in conjunction with the

Current sensor, the dependence of the current flowing on the applied voltage can be studied in various electric circuits.

This sensor can be used to measure low voltage AC and DC circuits. With its 4 mm plugs, it can easily be connected into electric circuits.

It can also measure, using a step-down transformer, the AC voltage of the main supply and check its frequency 50/60 Hz (the input is limited to ±20 V).
