Sensor Description:

The DT033 is a 55x20 cm cushion, designed to sense pressure as it is applied onto it. The DT033 is a switch, meaning that it has only two positions: open and closed. The DT033 has a 6-ft. wire for comfortable use.

Inside the DT033 are two separate layers of a conductive material. Between the two layers there is a layer of isolation sponge, with holes in it. When pressure is applied onto the cushion, the two conductive layers connect through the holes and close an electric circuit. The Logger will then receive a 5 Volts output.

The DT033 does not require any calibration.

There are two logging types you can use the DT033 cushion in: The first is regular logging, where you will receive a graph of the on/off position of the cushion as a function of time. The second (recommended) is to use a trigger function called "Event Recording". In this type of logging you will receive a list of all the times the cushion was switched (both on and off). Using this type of logging will allow you to study nature’s wildlife, or to count the number of people entering a building…
