    Probe wire spacing

    I've seen several post were interference between probe wiring may have been a partial cause for issues.

    My question, is there a recommended spacing between probe wiring?
    Is there a correct/best way to coil the excess wire that won't generate interference? My unit is close to my aquarium, so I have a lot extra.

    Sorry for the dumb questions.

    Not a dumb question at all. I've been pondering the same question too! I've been thinking along the lines of insulation on the outside of each wire. Not sure if it'd work though....

    A couple inches is plenty and that only matters when they are parallel. If they are perpendicular The wires can touch with no ill effect

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
