Hi guys,
I currently have the probe sensor mounted into a blind outlet plug on my megaflow.
This is on the 2nd floor (top floor of 3 storey) and constantly keeps going off line.
It is the furthest away from my controller and is by default near a huge tank, so no surprises I guess.
Anyway I want to move the temp box closer to the controller so I'm considering 2 choices:-
1. Joint a cable to the existing probe cable and reposition another metre closer.
2. Use the tank mounted sensor and make up my own cable that simply crimps on to again give me extra distance.
Question is how do the sensors work, I assume resistive, but if so in what range?
Will extending the cable 1-2m longer have an affect on the accuracy of the reading?
