Review on PEMENOL Fahrenheit Temperature 76F 999F Thermocouple by Jerry Estrada

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well in temp and humidity

I installed it in a box (cut a hole in the plastic box to install) to read my water heater temp and put the solar photovoltaic heater in to convert a heater. Comes with a type K sensor with a small threaded end of the sensor, I bought another sensor (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QN452PN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) with a 1 / 2" male pipe thread, then screwed into a 1/2" female adapter into the T-hole on the heater outlet pipe. There wasn't room directly in the tank to insert the probe directly into the tank, so this is the next best spot. Turn the water on for 20-30 seconds to allow the hot water from the tank to flow through the sensor and you will get the true value of the tank temperature. The sensor requires 5-28 VDC to function. already in the box to control the relay for the solar power. I installed a heater (28 gallons under the counter) to make the bottom cell solar powered (36v 1200 dc cell https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ B018S4AN42/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s02?ie=UTF8&psc =1) and Put a 1500W AC 120V element in the top hole. So if the solar array isn't providing enough power to heat the amount of water I want, I can just flip the toggle switch to turn on the air conditioning. element and thermal water.

Pros
  • temp and humidity
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
