RE: Cylinder temp monitoring - Idratek



I've been monitoring my thermal store for almost 2 years now, using
the Idratek QAI with thermistors and a pull-down resistors.
This is what I ordered:

http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?CMP=i-ddd7-00001003&sku=1738754

And it's all been working flawlessly since I connected it up.

Cheers
Graham

Many thanks Kevin and Dave.  That's a good solution, and relatively easy to
set up.

Thanks again,

Alex
