I have an older thermoprobe that needs replacing (one of the lead wires broke off and the remaining "nub" is too short to solder a new wire on), only I have no idea what the specs are for this particular probe. This is from a Pub Brewing system, manufactured in the mid 90s, no idea if this probe is original or not.
I have read in various places that you have to know what you are buying with these probes, otherwise they simply won't work with the controller (different temp range, differential, etc.)... correct? The controllers I have are Partlow 1160, they seem to have been replaced by a newer 1160+, and unfortuantely the manual for the 1160 that I downloaded doesn't have any specs for what type of probe to use.
McMaster and Grainger carry many different probes, and although they list the "type" (J, K, L, etc) and the temperature range, I really don't know which will meet my reqs. Is it as easy as picking one with a good wide temp range? Probably not.... The probe I am replacing is in a generic plastic housing and the probe itself doesn't have any markings or mfg info on it at all.
Anyone out there have any suggestions? Anywhere I can get a good tutorial in thermoprobe technology?
