Can I extend the sensor wire (either get a longer wire or splice in an extension)? I need longer than the wire the kit includes

I belive they sell extension for the 02 sensor. I don't recommend splicing the wire. It might be possible at your own risk.

It might he safer to see if innovate sells a longer cable just to do it the right way

You can buy the connectors and make up an extension for the Bosch LU-42 Here:http://www.efihardware.com/products/2038/Bosch-LSU4_2-Wideband-Oxygen-Sensorbut I have not found extensions as yet? However I would be contacting Innovate directly to see if they can supply a longer lead to suit your application.Regards Bob

We have it installed but haven't tested it.It's installed on a pro funny bike and we had to shorten the wires.My advice is if you extend the wires make sure you solder and shrink tube each wire.Also I would use a protective wrap, raceway....

Sensor did not fit I had to use my original electrical connector and cut off the new one. Not exact fit at all

Sadly there isn't any product that extends the wires. And the wires that are made with them are very thin. When I hooked these up for my step sons I just simply cut off the connected, sized butt connectors and wire to extend what came with the unit. It was a pain but it did the job really well.

I have since disposed off the sensor because it was the wrong one for my car and didn't use it. I can't remember the length of the cable. Sorry. Contact the dealers.

I contacted my home security company to get a list of sensors that are compatible with my existing security system. This one was one of those in the list. I would suggest you to do the same.

no, the sensor is housed in that little thing sticking up out of the unit in the photo. it's connected by a short wire to the unit so i imagine you could cut it and attach your own sensor to it.

no....that's too far a distance from the sensor to the unit.the alternative it to use a wired version with the sensor on the rear wheel & the unit mounted up front. I do that setup on a recumbent. You will need to get a longer cable; local bike store or cateye direct will be able to assist you with the longer cable. Another option is to mount the unit to the rear of the frame above the sensor on the rear wheel. I also did this type of setup on a recumbent, but i found it annoying that i had to stop & dismount to see the readings..

I tried using another sensor from a different set along with the sensor that came with the receiver it did not work. Sorry.

I noticed the first answer but I believe it is wrong. I have the old sensor. It has 4 wires, 2 black, 1 white & 1 blue.The length from the flange to the end of the connector is 8 1/2 inches. I cut the wires on mine so it may be longerbut I don't think I lost any length. Total length is about 10 inches.

The lead is 6-8 ft long and the sensor is 10-12. Start your mat close to the wall where the thermostat is. You can cut the sensor wire to length

My instruction say that the sensors have to be 5mm from each other. Get them as close as you can.

For the price, why splice wires, the leads can be extended to 6 feet. What I would recommend is to place the sensor on a sheet of paper towel. Any moisture will wick up to the contacts. Also you can cover a bigger area where just a corner of the paper towel will transfer the liquid by capillary action to the contacts.

The wire from the mat is fairly short from what I can remember - been several months since I installed. Floor sensor wire had plenty of length to it.

They are all different lengths. But to short if you want them more than a foot or two away from the unit. But you could extend them by splicing in more wire.

The cable that connects the sensor to the device is a standard phone cable. You just need to get a phone cable in the length you need. The maximum cable length that can be used is 100ft.

I agree, line is too short. I don't see why speaker wire wouldn't work to extend. If you know anything about splicing, you'll be fine

I had the same issue, as the wire was only 4' long on each.However, I did cut off the existing wire and connected the new sensors with the wire nuts that were included.
