    Longer Wire for ALD

    I have set up a separate equipment room which is about 25 feet from the display tank. Does Neptune sell a 25 foot ALD sensor wire (looks like a telephone jack on one end)? I tried to find the wire (by referencing the labeling on the wire itself of the ALD sensor) but can't find anything on the Internet.

    Thanks.

    P.S. being a newbie to Apex (and finding the manual a little bit intimidating) I have found the answer to every question through either the forum or YouTube. It's great!

    You need a straight thru data cable from monoprice.com, or other source.

    Thanks for the links to get the wire (not sure why I would need the coupler too but maybe you can explain?)

    i am am assuming once I cut off the one end, I should see two wires to solder to the terminals inside the ALD probe (the probe I have I can see two wires from the original wire connecting to two terminals.

    Not sure if it's a good idea to be opening up the ALD probe and messing with the insides. If anything I'm pretty sure that will void the warranty.

    Thanks. Now I understand. If I get the coupling, I can just plug the ALD into one end of the coupling and the 25’ through wire to the other end and will have enough length to plug the whole thing into the ALD module in my equipment room without having to mess with the insides of the ALD. Thanks for the help everyone!
