It has been my experience with these units, (I have 4 In/Out temp units) that it is best to run them thru the firewall to a point in front of the radiator. (bout 6 inches away from the radiator itself. This allows air to flow across the sensor when you are moving thus giving a realistic outside temp. Of course the temp reading goes up when you are sitting still, but it's still good. The next best option is to run the sensor wire along the dash and down the door post and into the cavity in front of the door. This gives a reasonable temperature indication, but will be erroneous when the vehicle is sitting in the sun, and will not respond a fast as it would in front of the Radiator. Good luck.

There is an inline controller on the power cord. One of five colored LEDs will light to indicate what temperature setting you have selected. The settings go from "WARM" (green) to "HIGH" (red) with intermediate colors of yellow and orange. The 4 way selector uses the up/down directions for temperature and left/right for on/off functions. My wife has been using regularly for two months and only uses the lowest setting and says anything else is too warm for her.

The heater wiring does not extend to the outside of the heater. You would need to have your electrician bring the house wiring into the heater and splice it inside the heater splice box. The splice box is located under the top cover of the heater.

No power is supplied by this wire. It is simply a wire with two different connectors enabling the user to connect a male 12 V cigarette lighter tip to a separate wire coming from the battery. E.g., on a motorcycle you'd have a different wire coming from the battery to this, which would give you the battery's 12 Volts and max Amps to the female cigarette socket on the outflow end. You'd then plug in your preferred charger into this end. You determine the output Volts and Amps by whatever charger you plug into this wire. All this unit does is to give you a female cigarette socket to use as you wish. There are no electrical components other than the wire and two plug-in adapters. It is an extension cord.

Standard plug, I would not recommend using this product outdoors, is it going to be used in a greenhouse if so it should be ok just keep the ballast off the ground, the ballast convert's the standard plug of the light (which is not 12 volt) into a 12 volt which is your standard wall outlet no ballast no power, I love this unit but it gets freaking hot. If you have not used this lighting before you may want to start with a 600 watt which requires no ballast produces far less heat and requires less energy, still I wouldn't use either product outdoors any more questions just ask happy to help

You need a outdoor 12 gauge housecurent power cord. Like the type one uses for holiday light. And it needs to as long as you need to go with the SnowJoe. I need to plug together a few cords to reach all the way last year. This year for Xmas I set power plugs in a few different locations so I just plug into the nearest one. But if you gonna blow away snow on a 100 foot walkway , you need more the 100 feet of cord!

Apparently you did not bother to read the comment I posted. The unit I got caught on fire when it was plugged in. As in call the fire department smoke. It was returned. Good luck.

hmm not really a question but here we go if you place the unit in the outdoors protected from weather it will turn on around the temp it says and shut off at the warmer temp if u use a timer in there it would be pointless being it would only work when it was cold or it might not get power when it needs to turn on good luck

I have never used the probes up to this temp but I think they may need to be encased in something to protect them. I would think one of the long pointed probes which are available would work better. I have only used the provided probes attached to the outside of a hot pipe to measure its temp.

Did you try without extension to check that the unit works?It only turns on at low temp.Then check the extention cord and the wall plug. It has to be one of the 3, or the temp is too high. Good luck

Tommy, Good point, I bought the pen from Amazon for a quick read temp. gauge. When I grill in dark, I use a light that clamps on my grills, and use a light that clamps on to my golf/ball cap. with bill. That would be a good feature from the manufacturer to offer.Thanks,A Bell

yea. it's probably defective. it works good on my end. no issues, no freezing. The connection might have a failure or switch the power cord. That might have the failure. Test it out.

Just got one, and works like a charm!! Says in the manual, not to be used below 65F or above 110F.

Good question. All depends how much heat you have going out your pipe. If it has a automatic fan on it there may not be enough heat in the pipe to make enough heat for the fan to work. Joe

As long as (and this might sound obvious to some, but I never assume) you cut off the end opposite the power cord. Its not like Christmas lights where if one goes they all go. Make it as long or short as you need.

The objective of this device is to do cold smoking and you do not need the cord to go to the box itself, you just need to connect power to this new external smoke box. This way, the smoke generator is active, but the box heating element is not. It is by design. When you hot smoke, you connect both the smoke generator and the box so that the ceramic element generates heat and the smoker generator provides the smoke. In cold smoking, you do not need the box heater on, it would defeat the purpose. Should you have any questions, feel free to reply. Happy cold smoking ! BTW, it works wonders. My discerning palate friends call it the best smoked salmon they've ever had. Just follow Bradley's cold smoke salmon recipe. Enjoy !
