Temp sensor cable length / extension ability

I wish to add some temp sensors to my Cerbo GX. I understand I need part ASS000001000 . I cannot see any details for length of included cable - does anyone have this to hand ? Is it possible to extend the cable by a couple of meters without altering the recorded temperature too much?

With thanks,

Dr Richard Williamson

Hi @DrW,


it's not a NTC type sensor. So yes, you can extend the temp sensor wire. I extended mine by 4m without problems.

Thank you Stefanie. I've bought a sensor and will experiment.

You can also set a temperature offset to calibrate your sensor. But you need superuser rights for your GX-Device:

Just so you know, you connect it to the shunt, not the meter, I thought about that too
