Hey guys! I just upgraded my electric rims system from a 240V 3500watt Blichmann Rims ricket running off the Blichmann 240V electric controller, to a 2" tri clover Rims tube with a 240V 5500w element from ebrewsupply. I tried to adapt my blichmann temperature sensor over to the new rims tube. The temp probe doesn't go into the tube far enough at all and is messing up the temp reading by like 25°. When I flipped the rims tube upside down so that the temp probe is on the bottom and the heating element on top, it started working like it should, but I don't like having it oriented like that as the temp probe should be on the "out" of the rims tube.
So I need a longer temp probe probably 4-6"(I'll measure tomorrow). Problem I'm running into is that the blichmann is a 4 pin connector on both the controller and on the temp probe. Everything I'm finding has 3 pins.
How do I get this to work? I don't won't to have to go spend a bunch more money on a new controller just to be able to use the 3 pin connector and temp probes.
Thanks for any help.
