digital readout for Vaughn indirect

I’m looking at the Alez-D60 as a great way to “monitor” the temp in my DHW tank.

http://www.accentshopping.com/product.asp/P_ID/149655

A wee bit pricey for what I want, but looks great - I like the idea of it recording the high and low also.

My question ( as raised in above posting) what kind of wire can be used to extend the distance between the sensor and the readout? I’d like to mount it about 25 feet from the tank.

Also, another stupid question, but..... The indirect tank I have has an immersion well, where the existing temp probe is. Can I use the P-01 probe that comes with the Alez-D60 and just insert that into the well?

Thanks in advance for your help

    digital readout for Vaughn indirect

    I'd like to add a remotely mounted digital readout of the temp. of hot water in my 50 gallon vaughn top performer indirect tank. It's has Vaughn's TPI thermostat on it.

    WOuld like to know and see the temp in the tank at any given time.

    Thank you in advance for your help

    Dave,

    I know what your looking for...and for the life of me, can't remember the name of the company that makes them.

    They're battery powered thermisters, with a 5' lead attached to a led readout. I have installed them on an H.S. Tarm buffer tank. They came with the package. Maybe their site will have them listed as options?

    All I remember is the tag...."Made in China", but they were pretty slick, and would fit/slide between the insulation and the steel tank real easy.

    You might even be able to find them at Radio Shack.

    Good luck. Chris
