STC-1000 Thermocouple Wiring

[PapaFoxtrot]

I picked up a small True GDM to set up as a fermentation chamber. I'm planning to use an STC-1000 for temperature control and drop a stainless thermowell into the fermenter. I know that with some thermocouples that it's not permissible to make a connection between the sensor and the controller as that junction sets up an additional resistance. With the STC-1000 outside the cabinet and the probe inside, I'd like to be able to easily disconnect the probe to clean the thermowell. Would having a connector inside the GDM introduce error?

The STC-1000 uses an 10K NTC thermistor - not a true thermo-couple - and you can pretty much get away with electrical murder connecting it to the controller. A hundred feet of wire - of any chemical makeup - isn't going to significantly alter the readings...

Cheers!

I feel like my reputation has preceded me. Thanks for the quick response!

Ok, that was pretty darned funny right there.
Thanks for the chuckle!
