Question

How many feet of thermocouple wire can I use?

Answer

There is an input limitation of >4.7M for the Solo controllers. Review the specifications of the thermocouple wire (diameter, distance, material, etc.) to make a determination of distance limitations.

If the environment is electrically noisy or the run exceeds the limitations of the controller, then a Signal Conditioners can be used to convert it to a 4-20 ma input.
