Can I solder the wire and have the thermocouple 15 meters from the unit ?

Yes. The connections coming off of the thermocouple are stripped end wire connections. The thermocouple is changing resistance with changing temperature. Worst case scenario is that you introduce minimal resistance in your connection, you would need to calibrate the reading, but once calibrated, it should be consistent and reliable.

I don't see why not, you either can attach the hr. Meter by the supplied screws or double sided tape. Attach the wire to the meter then wrap it around the spark plug wire. Done deal

You can join up to 10 meters without any problems. After that its best to add additional power supply

it's very simple to wire using test light. i wired mine in 10 minutes, but the item only worked for about a month and quit. the soldering on the inside is not very good and will come loose and stop working. at least mine did anyway.

yes i use my weller to solder wire i just bought a smaller tip for the iron.

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.

I would recommend pin connectors. As mentioned in some of the reviews, the openings for each of the cable terminations are quite small. I ultimately had to remove approximately 40% of the strands, solder and then pinch the wire flat to be able to fit them into each of the holes. If I had pin connectors this would have likely have been a better way to go. Have not had a chance to provide feedback yet but this was a very painful exercise and I will reflect this in my summary. Other than this the unit seems fine.

I doubt there is a kit per say, but it can be lengthened for sure. I would be confident in doing it easily with mine, because I have the tools and parts, but it wouldn't pretty the way I would do it. I would get some thin wire, (since the sensor needs very little voltage) pop open the main unit and remove the original wire from any circuitry inside. Next solder in the new wire and take that new wire's other end and use crimpers and wire connectors to close the circuit. If you know any handymen, they could explain better than I.

Yes. It has a temperature mode and includes a bead probe. It may be worthwhile to pick up the thermocouple adapter as well.

While we've not had the occasion to do this, it shouldn't be a problem. The wires connect by just pushing into the unit and plugging the unit in. If you have the wiring at the second location, you should be good to go.

You can simply enough solder the connection together if you're confident with soldering. Else buy the LED strips with the four pin connectors on each end and connect the two strips together.

Just got the one we have so I don't know a lot about it . Read the anwser about the thermocoupling sounds about right. Do know I would not bypass this safety feature. It not worth your life. Hope you do well

I wouldn't...too much heat needed to make the solder flow,your flux will burn before the solder flows and youll melt surrounding material and the solder will just run off.

There are basic instructions included. The unit is labeled input and output so you know which wires to connect to the power and which to output. These wires are ready to twist on with wire nuts. If the current configuration is soldered you can cut the existing wire in the middle and just attach this unit. No soldering.

There is a "test switch" that you can push that makes contact and turns the unit on. I would assume you could either zip tie that down tight to keep in contact, solder it, or use some other means to maintain contact, but I doubt that would be recommended and do not know if it would eventually overheat or be a fire hazard.

No, the unit is larger. You'll need to completely rewire it. I feel that it was worthh tthe effort.

No. Watch a few youtube videos. If you know how to solder it isn't too complicated.
