User Manual
Thank you for choosing Whadda! Please read the manual thoroughly before bringing this device into service. If the device was damaged in transit, do not install or use it and contact your dealer.

Safety Instructions

• Read and understand this manual and all safety signs before using this appliance.
• For indoor use only.

General Guidelines

1. A thermistor is a type of resistor where the resistance is dependent on temperature, more so than in standard resistors.

Product Overview
The EN Analogue Temperature Sensor Module WPSE320 is a thermistor-based temperature sensor that can be used to measure temperature changes in indoor environments.

Specifications

• Input Voltage: 5V DC
• Temperature Range: -55°C to +125°C
• Accuracy: ±0.5°C
• Output Signal: Analogue (0-5V)

Connection
The WPSE320 can be connected to an Arduino board using the following pins:

• VCC – 5V
• GND – GND
• S – Analog In (A0)

Product Usage Instructions

1. Connect the WPSE320 to an Arduino board using the pins specified above.
2. Upload the Analog In Out Serial example sketch to your Arduino board (File > Examples > 03. Analog > Analog In Out Serial).
3. Open the Serial Monitor.
4. Hold the NTC thermistor to increase its temperature. The reported value in the Serial Monitor will change accordingly.

What is Arduino®
Arduino® is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino® boards are able to read inputs – light-on sensor, a finger on a button or a Twitter message – and turn it into an output – activating of a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so, you use the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino® software IDE (based on Processing). Additional shields/modules/components are required for reading a twitter message or publishing online. Surf to www.arduino.cc for more information.

Product Overview
A thermistor is a type of resistor where the resistance is dependent on temperature, more so than in standard resistors.

Product Specifications

• NTC type: NTC-MF52 3950
• temperature range: -55 °C to 125 °C
• accuracy: +/- 0.5 °C
• pull-up resistor: provided, 10 kΩ
• connection: 3 pins ((+)5 V, (-) ground, (S) analogue output)
• dimensions: 20 x 15 x 5 mm

Connection

Example
Open the AnalogInOutSerial example (File > Examples > 03. Analog > AnalogInOutSerial).
Once uploaded, open the serial monitor. You will see the reported value change when you hold the NTC thermistor so it increases its temperature.
