High Temperature Alarm?

A single unit for $65 set to the proper temperature on your pipe, I think is cheap insurance, could save your house and your family.
Its not that hard to get distracted while getting a fire going

 

I agree. I'm choosing the AT100 Universal Thermometer and the TC-K-WA Washer Probe. I don't see the need for the remote siren with my house layout so I don't need the AT200.

Total cost $56 + shipping - not bad!

 

Isn't that the case with the PH too?

 

the alarm that's built into the unit worked just fine for me.
You will just have to set up some parameters on that unit, no big deal though

 

Here is the response from the tech at Auber. Not sure what she means by "go into" I assume it's just button pushing on the front. This would be a great set up for me as my stove is in the basement and I find myself trekking up and down the stairs a lot just to check on things.


Hi Dave,

Each slave has its unique id set inside, the master unit can only show the temp of one slave at once. So for example, if you have slave 1 and slave 2; the master can be set to display either the temp on slave 1 or slave 2. And to do the switch, you will need to go into change the id in master unit.

To purchase an additional slave unit, the price is $60 ea + sensor cost. You can check out with $60 FEE-SRV and a sensor with the AT210-Combo purchase on our website.

Best,

Yeah, going into it would be pushing some buttons.
I haven't read the manual for the wireless, didn't know you could only display one at a time, so, you wouldn't need an extra slave unless you like had one upstairs and one in the garage or something like that.
I don't understand $60 Plus sensor for a slave unit because, the slave unit has only one plug and that is for power.
Yeah it would be perfect for stove in the basement situation
You could do the same thing with the wired unit but you would have to run a long wire upstairs from whatever probe you have on the stove or pipe

 

Ok guys I am trying to decide what setup is good for me. My nc-30 is slammed in my fireplace with a flex SS liner. So is it better to have both pipe and stove top sensors or is one enough? I would ideally like a unit down by the stove with a temperature reading and a wireless unit upstairs in my bedroom so I can see what is going on in the night.

So I am thinking about getting the wireless package one with a magnetic thermal couple for STT. This sound like the right setup? or should I get the washer k type thermocouple and drill it in the stove top?

Depends what you want and want to spend , for both pipe and stove top, you would need 2 packages .
Do you have a place on the pipe to put a washer thermocouple ? what kinda pipe , sw, dw?
Can't really tell you what's best for you , I can only go by what I have but , I would use the magnetic probe for stove top , more money though

 

The pipe isnt super easy to get to since its in my fireplace. But after already (3rd day) having the ac16 fan start making a god awful racket. I am trying to get things together to pull the stove out and put a new fan on, build a convection deck and attach these alarms so i can get it all buttoned up before truly cold weather hits.

 

Thing is I don't know jack about your type of install.
building a convection deck is very good idea , my stove comes with one and works great getting heat out into the room, don't know why they don't put em on all stoves, probably to keep costs down.
Anyway , if my stove was in basement ,I would like to monitor both pipe n st with wireless
EDIT Perfect opportunity to put what ever you want on there , if your going to pull it out

 

Hey sorry guys just saw this. Yes the slave unit connects to the probe and the master is wireless (other than the 110 plug). I have the slave in our bedroom directly over the stove in the basement (shortest run for the probe wire) and the master is in the living room across the house. Saves me from running to the bedroom to check temps all the time. Plus i can just roll over in bed and see what my temps are if needed.

 

Got my alarms and put it on the stove. Anyone else notice their alarms reading lower then it does with a ir thermometer? I have the magnetic connector and it reads 60 to 100 degrees lower then I get with my ir.

 

Like right now it reads 590 but with my ir it reads 670. Not really liking that discrepancy

 

Yeah , from what I've read the magnetic probes all do that , mine is 60, 70 degrees low , pipe probe is more accurate.
Just compensate when you set alarm temp.
I was thinking I might change Configuration Parameters to compensate for temp difference .

2. PSb. Calibration offset. PSb is used to set an input offset to compensate the error produced by the sensor. For example, if the meter displays 5 ºC when probe is in ice/water mixture, set PSb= -5, will make the meter display 0 ºC.

 

I like having both ,but if I was to only have one ,It would be on the pipe

 

I have the wireless unit (internal probe) for my flue temps. Im planning on ordering the magnetic probe for the stove top soon.

 

When you say "Pipe Probe" do you mean the magnetic one?
