The temperature gauge sending unit appears to be some weird thread size. It´s close to 3/8-18 NPT but not quite. Anybody run into this?

I changed all my gauges to Sun Pro mechanical, oil and water. The tach and volt gauge are electronic.

Mine's been running at -8 degrees for a couple of months now. It seems to be quite accurate.

The unit is still in for repair. The tank pressure gauge didn't work when I first pulled it out of the box. I would be very interested to see if I get an after market replacement gauge when I get it back.

My unit reads high temps too. My other complaint is the short running cycles on this unit. I had it repaired by an authorized repair shop but it still short cycles.

I'm curious about this too. I set mine for 370 and as soon as it reaches the temperature it turns off. SO frustrating.

The display unit works fine and easily has the range to cover your needs. The method you need to take the measurement may require you to buy a different type of Type K thermocouple that is supplied. The thermocouple probes they supply are very small gauge and tip that is welded so they break easy and since it is small it will react to small changes in temperature. Also take care not to revers the probes in the connectors because the meter body is not keyed to prevent revers connections.

First off, let me say this, the one I got has an accuracy of +/-5 degrees on the rise temp. But then the temp has to drop almost 40 deg's before it will turn back on. This is not a tight enough tolerance for a smoker. Now if I remember correctly, looking at the back of the stat, with two contacts up and one down in the mid section, the one in the middle is the common, and the won to the upper right is the normally closed. these are the two pins you will want to use for heating. I recommend double checking this with a multimeter to be sure. I will double check later tonight.

mine was fine when received from the seller. The gauge will probably still work ok. Just make certain you handle & store carefully.Nick

My units tick a little when the thermostat trips on but that is all. it has been doing this since the units were new a I have no problems. Is your wiring and breaker sized correctly for the twon units?

Anthony, I can't answer that because I had a plumber hook it up. he did not mention any problem to that affect. Unfortunately, he lost the documentation and after many tries and almost 2 years, I have yet to get a copy. Maybe you can help me by sending me a copy? the temp gauge quit and I have no idea on how to change/fix it or what the warranty is because I have no documentation.Mitch

Well I had to get used to mine...power on..after I set the temps in each zone I hit start and then keep hitting select until u see temps rising and a little dot blinking beside each temp...just to lower right..hope that helps...:-D

Read precautions by DeVilbiss, they state that discharge temp could affect unit if temps are too high. To remedy this I ran a 20' loop of 3/4" hard piping up the wall and then installed DeVilbiss unit in line. No problems experienced!

My gauge would not come off (it sheared off before unscrewing). I had the same idea: 0-15 gauge would be much better. I ended up getting a Winters PEM gauge, a 3-way tee, and an adapter to go from NPT to Schrader (search Amazon for Professional Sports Ball Air Inflator Needle 3-Piece Set by FixFind). Works perfectly at the end of my new MP6000 airgun.

I would be wary of the accuracy, there are "dead spots". I ordered two of these and both of them had a "dead zone" of about 6 degrees (from 76°F-82°F) where it would show it was 76° until it suddenly spiked to 82°.

A big problem is that one has no idea what the temperature and pressure actually is. There is no read out of either. You have to take is on faith and that is not worth the risk. Get a GoWISE it has a real time pressure readout.

Yes, I measured the temp. and it is not at all near that range. That's why I sent mine back!

Mine is doing the same thing. It states the max temp is 190, so setting it at the max should be safe and it operate normally. Has anyone else set there's at the max and it works fine? thanks
