so where do you plug in the k type thermocouple? without an adapter there is no plug in for the k thermo. havent seen anything written about an adap

The meter package I purchased included the thermocouple accessory, which had a plug that would connect in the Red voltage(+) and Black (-) common receptacles. It would be possible to probe with the Red and Black test leads that comes with the meter directly to the leads of a J-K thermocouple for troubleshooting purposes. Otherwise you will need to to purchase the a thermocouple accessory from Kline.

I've not used them at that distance, but it should be fine. A k-type thermocouple produces about 41 microvolts/degree C. A typical op-amp (input for the PID controller) has an input bias current of say 45nA (for the LM324). 1000 ft of 24 gauge copper wire has a resistance of about 26 ohms. 45nA x 26 ohms is about 1.1 microvolts. That's about a 2% error for a 500 foot run (there and back) of really small wire. So 60ft shouldn't be a problem. Your error for 60 feet would be closer to 0.34%.Besides all this, the PIDs are self calibrating, so if the PID works as expected, it should be able to calibrate for a large portion of that anyway.

Depends who you get it from. Most sellers don't include thermocouples, unless otherwise stated.They are sold separately.

I purchased mine as a spare and have not installed it yet. I looked at the hookup before buying, if not a link via the Amazon site, it may have been on the Grote site. Is very simple, but you do have to locate a hot wire that is ignition switched to turn the power on and off. Rich

Hi Victor, were you able to get the Heat problem with your pioneer fixed? My heat pump does not work either and i wanted to see whether you were able to solve the problem. Thanks in anticipation of your response

Its really self explanatory. . . Plug it in. Middle button is power button. Starting from the upper left corner going clockwise, you've got the "rotate" button (you can stop the fan rotation when its pointing in any direction), then you have the "+/-" button that sets the auto set point (it has a pretty broad spectrum, it'll turn off once it reaches the threshold you choose, then once the room gets like, 6 degrees colder, it'll turn back on), then its the "High/Low" button (for how much more you want it to blow; if you want the "auto" do not press this button, it'll turn that option off), Then you have the "timer" option, (you can set the fan to stay on for intervals, starting at an hour, good if you're going to bed). If the "auto" button is on you'll have an A on the digital interface. There are red and orange flames on the interface depending on if its high or low. The red dot in the corner stays on as long as it's plugged in. If you are NOT using your heater tower for a long period of time, I suggest unplugging it. It did ungodly things to my electric bill (ie $70 to $140 after my first month of using it; totally worth it to me because I moved to the East Coast from AZ and just can't handle the cold).

The kit I received did not include a power adapter. Suggest you contact the tech support (Toronto I think) and ask about it. I connected an unused wire in the thermostat wire to the 24 v supply at the HVAC to supply my unit. You might want to check this out in your situation as well.

I no longer have this model, but I believe you flip over the plug that attaches to the unit itself... there should be a red arrow for warming and a blue one for cooling.

It comes with a car pug, it's an AC round plug. The same that comes with all the car chargers. However not all of the AC to DC adapters will work. It needs to be one of the 30.00+ adapters. I am sure it would not cost Koolatron much to include a wall plug with the system. I tried purchasing the wall cord that went into the cooler but the cooler end is a proprietary shape and Koolatron has not opted to manufacture any. For what it is work that cooler is a great shape for personal office use. Big enough to keep all of your own stuff food plus condiments. But small enough that you can take it home for cleaning every now and then. It comes with a car pug, it's an AC round plug. The same that comes with all the car chargers.

There's an adaptor plug that's with the plug unit, but separate. I got enough of a hint to go take another look in the box, thanks Kevin.

The thermocouple is only used for measurement, not control. The rate of heating is not adjustable

The unit has a thermocouple for a flame safety, check to see if it is loose where it screws into gas valve, make sure thermocouple is in pilot flame. This is a flame safety pilot problem.

I know the adapter, if one exists is not in the kit. That is why I am asking if anyone knows a part # and a source FOR THE ADAPER

Jeff,Any luck with solving the problems? Did you purchase the travel adaptor? The Archos web site says use the Gen 4 but when I call the customer service they say no. Share your tips!Marc

I had the Fire-x 120-1182 in my house and used these. But they do require an adapter for the ac hook-up. I looked at the previous answer and have had no problems with mixing the Fire-x and Kidde units. All go off when any one is sounded.

I think I got the same plug you got! I called the technical support for Nautilus and they have been very unhelpful! I think I may just have to find out the model AC Adapter that everyone else gets with theirs and order my own! Can anyone fill me in on the Model/Input/Output that the AC Adapter is?????

I ordered the Fluke 116 from right here and it comes with the integrated K thermocouple. However, it comes with standard black/red test leads, and not the colorful ones shown in the picture.
