Probe Placement Question

cyn Nov 07, 2006 12:50 PM

I just received a stack pack from Jeff and also the Ranco thermostat that he sells. Where would be the best place to put the probe to get the best results for heating all 5 cages together? I was thinking I could drill a hole in the back of the middle cage and tape the probe to the inside floor or, I would put the probe directly on the flexwatt of the middle cage. Which would be the best in your opinion? And if I should put the probe directly on the flexwatt, what could I use to "tape" in on there so the heat won't affect anything? Thanks in advance.

I put the probe between cages. For me it's easiest and I can reconfig later, which I have done several times. I have 421D's and also have 3 each split into two and split into 4 421's. I tape the probe to the top of one cage and place the next one on top of that. Any tape will do, just has to hold the probe while you polace the next cage. Onlty thing to avoid is aluminum tape per Jeff at Helix, it can induce currents into the probe from the flexwatt.
