I have a temp display that uses an 18b20 waterproof sensor. I want a second sensing location (switchable..).Would these work?? Switch type??

These *could* work as a drop-in replacements if your display does indeed use the 18b20, but the "switchable" part would depend on your "switch" as well as whether or not your display will accept the new/different address given by the sensor. The 2-wire standard works off of a unique address given by each temp sensor, the new sensor would have a different address than the old sensor. That may, or may not matter.

I haven't implemented any of these yet, but if they are actually DS18B20 sensors in the stainless steel housings then they all have a unique 64-bit serial code stored in an on-board rom which is used to identify and address each individual sensor. http://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/DS18B20.pdf

Check the manual. If you no longer can find it go to http://luxproducts.com/support/TX500E_ENG_Manual121409.pdf On the first page, in the second column you find information about three small switches. They are on the backside or inside of the unit. One of the three switches lets you switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Good luck!

Yes, it displays water temp if the sensor is installed on the transom, hull temp if you install it in shoot-thru configuration.

I looked it over. I use it in the winter on a small heater in my generator house. It plugs in an outlet and the thing sticking it the air on the photo tells the unit the temp.. There is no other sensor. I do like it for what I use it for.

My daughter and I just tried flipping the turtle upside down and running it under water and as long as the area where the sensor fills up it will read the temp. You can just flip it over, since you'd be holding it anyways, and read what it says.

Talked to tech-support and they said yes, this unit will regulate the water temperature to the SET-temp. and ultimately shut off if incoming temp is already at or above the SET-temp. unrelated, I am experiencing fluctuations in the output temperature; (with stable input temperature) it may be bad sensors, so this still needs to be figured out

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.

You can use an outside sensor but will loose the function of humidity sensing. I did not buy the optional sensor. The sensor is on Amazon for $24.05 Search C7089U1006 and read the 28 reviews posted there.

None what so ever.I stopped using it after 6 months as one sensor failed and too much hassle to get a replacement.

Hi,Great question. The second wire is the water temperature sensor. Since this is a shoot through hull transducer, there has to be another sensor to contact the water directly to acquire a good temp reading. We have several in stock for immediate shipment

Buy a different thermostat?? This doesn't seem to be designed to handle an outside sensor...

You have to connect the outdoor sensor to S1 and S2. Then you will have to gho into the setup of the thermostat under function 0340 and turn on the remote sensor. It will ask for display or for control. Display is just to show you the outdoor temp. Control would be for different setting if you are using dual fuel application.

Not sure about thermowells. The ds18b20 sensor is about 6mm in diameter and about 55mm long. These sensors appear to have been waterproofed well, tho. I've had 2 submerged for 23.5 hours a day for the past month and no issues yet.

I don't know but I can tell you that my outdoor sensor has never worked. I have tried everything but I have yet to see a near accurate outdoor temperature appear on the alarm clock.

Emerald is right on. You know exactly what function you are performing by the indicator lights. They have kept it simple while still giving you options. If you decide you need to change the temp, push one button and done. Change time? Up or down to desired temp without having to start over or reset anything. Simple, simple, simple :-)

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.)

Yes. I don't know of a way to hook up more than one sensor. Works well though.
