outside temperature line end. How and where do you string the outside temperature end to get the best result?

It has been my experience with these units, (I have 4 In/Out temp units) that it is best to run them thru the firewall to a point in front of the radiator. (bout 6 inches away from the radiator itself. This allows air to flow across the sensor when you are moving thus giving a realistic outside temp. Of course the temp reading goes up when you are sitting still, but it's still good. The next best option is to run the sensor wire along the dash and down the door post and into the cavity in front of the door. This gives a reasonable temperature indication, but will be erroneous when the vehicle is sitting in the sun, and will not respond a fast as it would in front of the Radiator. Good luck.

The heater wiring does not extend to the outside of the heater. You would need to have your electrician bring the house wiring into the heater and splice it inside the heater splice box. The splice box is located under the top cover of the heater.

I just turned it on and pressed the minus degrees button until it stopped which was at 39F. The highest is 90F.

Yes. You can set high and low temperature limits. The device will send you a text and/or an email when the temperature goes outside the range you specify.

It takes into consideration the weather outside (as well as your schedule and the heating/cooling performance of your house) to determine the optimal settings. That's part of the "DataRythm" technology that is part of the thermostat decision making process.

Stacey, good question! It really depends on your situation and the distance between the pipe. In the past, I wrapped the cable around the pipe as shown in the packaging. This year, I ran the cable upon the length of the pipe and used zip ties to hold it against the pipe, which has allowed me to cover more territory than wrapping. I would caution you that I live in Phoenix, so I'm only protecting pipes from 25-32 degrees, which is easier than when I lived in Chicago. Good luck.

To be honest, I have never been aware of the outside temperature. If yours is cool and it seems to be fucntioning properly, I would not be concerned. Perhaps it's well enough insulated that you don't feel the heat on the outside. However, if you don't feel it is cooking in the time suggested, you might consider returning it. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

I assume you are having problems with the ends coming off. The trick is to oush the end al the way down on the wire until the inner insulation is touching the inner circle. It takes a lot of pressure.

i do not know of one, but i will say it is a two part epoxy, so that is probably well outside of the range. if you want to affix two things at those temperatures, I would use a high temp solder if electrical conductivity is not a concern. otherwise, you may have to mechanically attach them with something.

I have used it externally and have seen others use it that way also--but that is not to say it was intended to be. Outside the insulation will eventually deteriorate and crack due to weather and sunshine but that will take a while. Best wishes!

If you want to use the automatic setting, you'll need to run wires for the outside temperature sensor. Most of the rest of the wires should be pretty similar though.

I'm also using.035 wire with mine. You will need to run a bit hotter then what you chart calls for.

Use a wire cutter. I use a pair of scissors at first but it left the ends frayed. Wire cutter

Get on the roof with a long string. Place the string where you are going to run your heat. This takes some time but will save you lots of time later. Rember to add for you gutters and dawn spouts. Add all your totals and give it ten extra feet. Take your time and good luck. This stuff works great if installed correctly.

I cut the rubber transmission line between the transmission and the entrance of the transmission cooler. I inserted a brass tee which reconnected the hose and the sensor screwed into. I selected this location as its easy to access and it will read the highest temperature seen by the fluid.

I bought this as a gift as I received a similar one as one. For mine, the outside sensor should be sheltered from direct sunlight as you want the temperature to reflect "in the shade." How you could do this without "getting rained on" is beyond me. Mine is under an eve. If you have no eve access, I suggest you improvise a simple one. make sure there's enough circulation room as to not trap heat and damage the sensor or at least cause it to give invalid readings. Good luck...

I bought my heating cable at the beginning of last winter. I has worked fine for me. I used my heating cable inside of a building where it was not exposed to the weather other than low temperatures. I guess the lowest temp. to have been around -10 degrees.
