Use these rtd's www.ebay.com/itm/200620995759
they are probably $60 sensors and are shipped from USA. It seems they are surplus. Very cheap at only $10. If you get them could you order 1 extra for me to save on shipping. I bought 2 but should have bought 3.
That looks like a nice temp probe. I like the fact that it has the armored cable. Could you give us more details on it? Like; how long is the probe, what's the thread size, does the wire disconnect from the probe, does it work with Auber's PID?
Thanks!
It's a standard pt100 rtd so it works fine with the auber pid. It's all stainless, 6" probe 1/2"npt threads. The probe is adjustable you can make the probe anywhere from 1" to the full 6". The armored cable is probably stainless and very strong, it's 12 feet long. I cut mine to 8 feet. I just added a xlr on the end I didn't mind the cord hanging from the kettle.
Would this work with one of Bobby's sightglass combo that has a T on it?
Isn't the new year celebrarion only 1 week? Shouldn't they be back open this coming week? Do you need one or 2 ssrs? I have the stock aluminum heat sink that it came with, and I have 1 of the copper pc ones. So you probably don't need to order a heat sink. Auber also sells ssrs and they aren't too expensive ($19)considering they are in the USA. I haven't heard of any defectives ones coming from them. I got my contactors from auber I think they were only $15 each.If you are ordering a pid or contactors from them you might as well get the 40a ssr too.
I just checked with Bobby. You would have to use this sight kit and order it without the thermometer.
I got the opposite info. I connected both white wires together. It works fine that way and was what was recommended here on hbt. Works fine that way. Maybe it works fine both ways? There wasn't any difference I could notice either way.
Get the xlr connectors that Kai has a link to on theelectricbrewery. I think it's a link to amazon. I got cheap ones off eBay and they aren't made very well, which is weird because they arent even Chinese, it's says Swiss made on them.
