BNC Cable Extender

[Armando Fernandes]

Good afternoon,
I wonder if I can use an RG174 50ohm cable's extension to connect the temperature probes, pH and ORP system GHL Profilux.

But you must recalibrate the probes

Hello Piwawt,

Recalibrate why? I'm still putting the pipes in the wall where they will run wires and cables as RG58 has a thickness greater than cable RG174, was wondering if I could use to make their extensions to the probes.

Best Regards,

recalibration is necessary since the electrical characteristics change with extensions

Hello Matthias,

Ok, but it is possible to use this RG174 cables right? The solution is recablibrate the probes. There is a tutorial to do this operation?

Best Regards,

Yes, the cable ist ok.Calibrate your probe with the extensioncable. Use Sensor Settings/Calibration on your PL, lookthis Manual (http://support.aquariumcomputer.com/downloads/Programming%20guide_V515%20-%20PL3.pdf) Page 5 and 10/11
