Hello,
I hope someone can help. I'm a scientist, working in a university, building my own experimental setup. I want to modify a Thermo Neslab RTE 7 Digital One heater/chiller (water bath recirculator).
The recirculator measures the temperature in its own water bath, I want to move the temperature probe to another (external) water bath.
After opening up the controller (top) part of the device I'm guessing that the temperature probe is a metal rod, partially encased in black plastic. It has 4 tiny wires running into it: 2 orange wires and 2 blue wires.
First question: Have I correctly identified the probe?
Second question: If so, can you forsee any problems with me removing the probe and extending the length of the wires from its current length of 1 foot to a new length of 6 feet, and placing it in an external water bath.
I'll have to carefully program the controller to handle the new response time, but I hope that will be easy enough to do.
Any advice at all is appreciated.
Damien
