Skin Temperature
Definition:
Skin temperature sensors provide information about the surface temperature of an object.
Amplitude:
Normal skin surface temperature: 89.6ºF - 95ºF*
Typical Applications:
Skin temperature sensors can be used in a variety of applications that require body surface temperature measurements. Some examples include exploring thermoregulation and psychophysiology applications.
Typical BioRadio Configuration:
- When using a skin thermistor, make sure you are set to Advanced View when programming your BioRadio.
- Coupling: DC
- Range: ±280 mV
- Gain: 0.161
- Offset: 85.672
Typical Setup:
- Ensure that you accurately prepare the skin before placing the sensor:
Step 1:
Clean the skin with an alcohol wipe Step 2:
Remove any hair that is in the measurement location
Note: make sure the skin is dry when you place the sensor.
