What is the maximum current rating of the senor and are alternate sensors available?

Hello Kathleen, The unit comes with one "standard" sensor rated at 71Amps (8.5kW @ 120VAC) and will "clamp" over a 10mm (3/8") wire. There is a 200Amp (17mm wire) available (sold as an accessory). You will need at least two sensors if you're in the US (if you're aiming at total usage). The transmitter has inputs for up to 3 sensors (3phase) Most all US residential is 120/240 60Hz two wire with a neutral. These units appear to be originally intended for the UK (Euro) market where the power grid is 230VAC 50Hz single wire and neutral. I couldn't seem to find any sensors locally (in the US) and finally ordered from MGElectronics Ltd, Egmanton, UK, Nottinghamshire thru Ebay. (Sorry, I don't have the link at hand) Just Google Owl CM119 (or your model #) sensors - there will be many hits. &lt;$25 US with "Royal" shipping - - takes a while (like 2 weeks) but eventually gets here. Funny, shipments from China arrive in 3 to 5 days - - go figure . . . must be the language barrier - - humm? BTW I really like my monitor - much better than the Efergy E2, although, I do like Efergy's software a bit more. When checking against a known load (wattage) the Owl is spot-on, whereas the E2 varies. Have a great day.

Thank you for your question. The USB-1208LS is not directly compatible with thermocouple sensors. The USB-1208LS lacks some needed signal conditioning. However, we do offer a low cost alternative that is compatible with thermocouples. Our USB-TC can monitor up to 8 thermocouple inputs http://www.mccdaq.com/usb-data-acquisition/USB-TC.aspx Another possible alternative would be to use a semiconductor temperature device called the LM35. The LM35 outputs a 10mV/C data point and can be adapted for use with a voltage based DAQ device like the USB-1208LS.

I had to replace one a few years ago. I believe I reset it so many times that the reset failed to function properly. I read Hippie Bob's suggestion and wish I had tried that before I discarded the original sensor. Good luck .

The sensor is designed for alarm systems, but is 100 VAC/VDC @ 0.5 amp. If the LED strip fits those limits, it should work okay. It uses a magnetic reed relay, so should be resistant to contact corrosion. However, it is normally closed when the magnet is near, so the off/on is clearly "backward". You could either add in a relay or do something too clever like putting the magnet at the back of the drawer so that it only lights in the fully drawer open position. Neither is optimal.Dan

You can use multiple sensors. I don't know what the maximum is, but it's more than one. You can include/exclude them in the average used to determine how the thermostat cycles. That's an all-or-nothing setting. I.e., unlike the Hunter 44665 I replaced, you can't set it to use only certain remote sensors for one cycle, but use a different sensor for a different cycle. (I had set the Hunter to use the bedroom sensor in the AM and the family room sensor in the afternoon/evening cycle.)

I don't really know. I bought an adapter that was suppose to be compatible with the sensor but I could not get the thing to work with it. I just bought some batteries that are for high usage and they have been in the units for months now with no problems.

I don't know where you can buy more sensors. I returned my security system because I couldn't even program it, I was very unsatisfied with this product.

From the specifications: Maximum AC Current @108VAC - 13 Amps. If your voltage is higher the current will be lower.

The sensor turns on/off what ever electrical load is connected to it. Check the amperage rating. like 15 amps or 20 amps; and that is the limit for one sensor. check the amperage draw for the decorate lights (will be somewhere on it)

I needed a replacement just ordered what was in the detector. I did not need to know what Ah it was rated I guess you could try google or MFG web site.

Good morning. I regretted having bought this alarm. It was a waste of money and would have returned it if only I could at that time. I hope this answers a question in your mind about the reliability of this sensor.

I wouldn't recommend it. Most devices have a safety factor where you can exceed the supply voltage by some amount, say 10 percent, but digital electronics can be very sensitive to values outside of their ratings. Below 12 volts the sensor may not work well. Above 13 volts it may incur damage.

I have two and they work great. It plugs into any wall outlet and the sensor can be pivot-ed up and down as needed to improve motion detection.

As per labeled on the switch, its rated up to 20Amps.....hope this will help you....thx.

The Previous answer is right. Thermocoupler is the wrong sensor for this controller. It needs a 10K ohm NTC (Negative Termperature Coefficient) thermistor. The 10K ohm is the resistance of the thermistor measured at 25 degree C.
