Data Harvest Voltage Sensor ±1V – Model 3162 [2516]

The Data Harvest Voltage Sensor ±1V is a precision sensor designed for accurate measurement of electrical potential difference in DC and low‑voltage AC circuits. It allows students to safely investigate voltage across individual components, helping them develop a clear understanding of electrical energy transfer within circuits.

This sensor forms part of a wider range of four Data Harvest voltage sensors, each designed to measure different voltage ranges. The ±1V range makes this model particularly suitable for sensitive, low‑voltage experiments where high resolution and accuracy are essential.

Used in conjunction with Data Harvest data loggers, the sensor provides real‑time voltage readings that can be displayed, recorded, and analysed, supporting strong links between practical investigation and theoretical learning.
