Longer temp probe wiring

The temp probe wiring seems a bit tight, especially to the brew kettle.

I have enough parts left over to make a few patch cables to extend the temp probe cables. Female XLR3 on one end and a male XLR3 on the other end. Simple pass thru wiring with the stainless wire wrap, braided sleeving and shrink tubing.

My question. Max temp probe wiring before the resistance in the additional wiring causes problems with either the sensor or the PID?

Thanks.

There is no max length. All lengths add some resistance. This extra resistance will be offset when you set the temperature calibration offset as described here: http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/control-panel-setup

This compensates for whatever cable length you have.

We also sell replacement cables of varying lengths (6, 8, and 12 feet) if you choose to not want to build yourself. Custom lengths also available if you want to go longer. See: http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/custom-temperature-probes

Cheers!

I am considering trying a 3 foot XLR (Microphone) cable as an extender. Has anyone ever tried this?

Thanks
