Post by revlimit »

Hi,

Will the Aquatube thermal sensor probe and LED work with any of the LCD display?

Hi revlimit,

Thank you for posting on the forums.

Sorry, the Aquatube thermal sensor probe won't work. The only temperature probes that will work with our units are the dallas one wire protocol. The temperature probes we provide are the DS18S20, which can be found at http://www.matrixorbital.com/product_in ... an-cooling

However, if they are just standard LEDs, you can connect them to any of the displays.

For you applications, I recommend purchasing any of the MX series displays. For more detailed information a MX series display, you can refer to one of the manuals at http://www.matrixorbital.ca/manuals/LK_ ... SB_140.pdf

If you have anymore questions or concerns, please feel free to post them.

Best Regards, :D

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I need a water temp probe.

You may be able to use them in water if you cover it with epoxy on the entire sensor and any wire connection involved

I have done this on green house system... take the temp probe and just create a tear drop of epoxy around it, get the epoxy nice and high on the cable and all should be good...
