I'm building a custom setup. How are the wires mapped/configured?
Our temperature probes have three wires: Two red (positive) and one white (negative). The two red wires are interchangeable.
The two red wires connect to XLR pins 1 and 3, and the white wire connects to XLR pin 2.
If using one of our control panels, the two red wires connect to PID controller screws 3 and 4 (order does not matter) while the white wire connects to PID controller screw 5.
Are the cables interchangeable?
Yes. Any of our temperature probe tips can be used with any of our temperature probe cables.
