can the sensor probe wire be extended I need to install 60 feet away from controller

I've not used them at that distance, but it should be fine. A k-type thermocouple produces about 41 microvolts/degree C. A typical op-amp (input for the PID controller) has an input bias current of say 45nA (for the LM324). 1000 ft of 24 gauge copper wire has a resistance of about 26 ohms. 45nA x 26 ohms is about 1.1 microvolts. That's about a 2% error for a 500 foot run (there and back) of really small wire. So 60ft shouldn't be a problem. Your error for 60 feet would be closer to 0.34%.Besides all this, the PIDs are self calibrating, so if the PID works as expected, it should be able to calibrate for a large portion of that anyway.

I don't see why you couldn't do that. The controller reads the probe as a value of resistance so it would really depend on the cable and wire you use. I've only used this with about a 3ft (1M) cable length. I guess you could run the wire, then test and calibrate the settings/readings on the controller, that should work. I haven't had any issues with mine. But again, I'm not using long cable runs either... Hope this helps.

For my uses, I do not need to extend beyond the cable length provided with the device. That said...The DS18B20 is a 1-Wire Digital Communications Temperature Sensor. The manufacturer specs state max operating current is 1.5 mA, therefore, the distance will be limited by Voltage Drop. Do not know your application, however, if distances are measured in feet, I'd speculate 20 ft with good copper conductors. I recommend using a shielded cable with shield grounded at the cable termination end only. Greater distances may be possible. Since this device is not that expensive, you could "buy it and try it."

Maybe 6 to 8 inches. I didn't need to extend my wires I just needed to get the correct connectors.

You should be able to extend to 50 feet, the only thing is go with a 18 or 22 gage wire not 20 gage.

The probe is .5 inches. My biggest problem with the unit is that the wire is only 30 inches. This severely limits where I can install the unit that does not expose the probe to the sun or against the wall which changes the indoor readings

If you're going to use the wires that come with the system you would have to splice. Or, you can buy extension cords that can add more length without splicing.

Same as the standard probes on the Maverick ET732-2. They are 3ft but Maverick sells 6ft probes that will work.

Yes, they can be extended. I extended mine about 10 feet. I am not sure of the gauge of the wires.

The sensor coil is built in to the meter. The wire must pass behind the case. Max size is about 8 gage.

I'm sorry man I really don't know I straight wired mine and I will tell you this if your doing the wireless remote take you a piece of speaker wire and tie it in to your antenna wire and extend that thing out it took my range form 60 ft to 150

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

The slot is a hair over 2.5" edging into 5/8ths territory. There is extra space for the head of the sensor, you could perhaps fold the wire over the side for the install. If you are removing just cut the wire.

The sensor wire is about 3 to feet...however at least 10 inches must be in contact with water to activate the power to the plugs. Also, you must extend the sensor wire at least 12 inches above the highest point of the heating cable. I have yet to get mine to work in snow and temperature less than 38 degrees. I have bought and installed two of them, so far, they have yet to activate even though I installed as per instructions.

I dont know. I mounted my brake controller to the left of my steering column down low....the opposite end of the plug reached to the panel without issue. I didn't need to extend or shorten.

It's 120 inches long or 10 feet long. If thats not long enough for your aplication, you could use any low voltage wire to extend the IR reciever.

I would not cut the wire. Put the probe anywhere that it is exposed to air, preferably not in direct sunlight or near a hot surface.

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
