Chaps,

I have this very same problem with my Elddis and have had thoughts on sorting it out with the 10K thermistor for a while now (as suggested by arc systems). The only problem was that I could never find a 10K thermistor on the Maplin website!

Anyhow I have just had a dig around on the net and managed to track down the parts at http://www.rapidelectronics.co.uk at a total cost of £7.42 including VAT and postage. The parts are as follows:-

10K NTC thermistor  (61-0515)
Low profile sensor case (30-3226)
3.5mm Jack (20-0105).( I am guessing this will be the right size).

The low profile sensor case is the most expensive item (apart from 4 quid P&P) but it should make the modification look quite tidy and provide physical protection to the thermistor.

I must stress that I haven't tried the modification out yet so cannot recommend this as a positive fix yet!!

However I will report back here in a couple of months once I can confirm all is well with the modification using these parts. In the meantime if anyone else gets this tried out before me I am sure many of us would be interested in some feedback.

not sure if this is any good to you,but worth a look anyway.

How did I miss an invitation for a cuppa??

If anyone still want to make one you don't need a holder, just make the lead long enough to reach from the back of the fire to the front where the gas temp sensor is and tie wrap the thermistor to the sensor. This is the one I made for Paul-B and it's 2ft long.

I couldn't find a 10k at Maplins but CPC do this one for 39 pence.

Hi

I meant to fit a remote sensor after last year away in winter! I am here again this winter in the hills of scotland and at minus 8 need the heater to work!

I have located the grey control box attached to the back of the heater (S3002P with the blow air fitted.) When I opened the grey box I could see the socket the 3.5mm jack would plug into,I had thought there would have been a plug in it already that would be linking the small thermistor behind the control dial to it?

If I make a thermostat up and plug it in does this over ride the current one built into the wall control switch or is there a link wire that I need to break?

If there is a link wire that has to be cut or a jumper could it be dropped out now before I fit a thermostat then the hearter would run constant?  :~)
