Clarisea connectors - anyone know what the plug name is or where to source them?

[Macca_75]

I'm talking about the connectors that connect their controller to the float switch and motor. They are a plug in connector with an o-ring and threaded nut.

I'd like the get a male and female end (so a set).

I'll then make a fly lead up that I could insert in there (think of it as an extension cord). The purpose would be to grab the status of either the float switch.

I could use this on a digital input of a Profilux. I could set a dosing head to react to the digital input. With an appropriate size "container" and dosing rate I could measure (with a fair degree of accuracy) how much mat had rolled through/how much was left before the roll ran out.

If it all turns pair shaped I won't have cut any of the existing Clarisea cables and the extra piece could be removed.

Thanks

a picture is worth a thousand words, but being you didn't include one by reading your 1000 words it sounds like your needing a 'cannon plug'

1000 words attached. Having trouble finding being the one that fits complete with oring and nut

the one in your hand is a 'DC Plug Adapter'

Outstanding - Thanks. I'll grab the Vernier out and see if the specs match (or are you sure they do)?

Thx

i have no idea if they match, i was somehow thinking you were making your own contraption, not adding to an existing......

went back and read your OP again.............. if you're going to use the float switch trigger as an indication of how much fleece was used, that's not going to work as the motor will always advance linearly but the fleece roll will not.

Thats true, but once "calibrated" I will have an accurate idea of time left before the roll runs out wouldn't i?

I don't care if I have used 30m or 35m of fleece, I care I have about 10% of runtime left before it needs replacing (the Profilux actually calculates days left based on runtime since "container" was emptied.

I thought about setting up a little wheel to run along the fleece but that was a lot harder to do.

i simply bend down and look at my roll and know how much is left........it's a really simple system, and it works perfectly
