Extending Apex salinity probe wire

[Dubs83]

@Terrance @RussM and anyone else that would know. What connection is that on the end of the salinity probe wire? I need to extend the cable and need the correct wire. Thanks!

Cut the wire and solder, keep the ends.

Probably british navel connector

Do you know if that one happens to be shielded for interference?

I probably wouldn't care unless your running it in the same conduit / raceway as your power cables. Just make sure you calibrate after, give it a shot.

This is the cable end I show on the salinity probe. The BNC connecter wouldn’t work in this case

Roger that, seeing this it's probably using 4 wire or 3 wire resistance monitoring. Since voltage / resistance is directly proportional to salinity. If this is the case you can lengthen the wire without great consequence as it compensates via design.

BTW you're looking for a min-din-4 or s-video.

Thank you so much!!

My recommendation is to get a longer aquabus cable and plug a PM2 into it. I certainly would not recommend cutting the cable- it will void your warranty and the wires inside that cable are very thin. The Mini-Din4 extensions in our experience cause interference issues and will be problematic as well.

spifftempo - Have any recommendations for shielding the salinity probe wire?
