Can the cable for PH Sensor SEN0169 be extended?
Account cancelled 2016-09-16 00:03:14 1671 Views1 Replies Hi guys,
I need to extend the cable for analogue PH sensor SEN0169. I have a fish pond, and I have set up like a control room some 5m away from the pond. A comfortable length from the PH sensor to the Arduino set up is about 10 - 12m away. Can I just extend the BNC cable with proper connectors, say another 7 m more without causing interference to the data? I will record continuous reading for at least one year, meaning to say that the sensor will be immersed in the water almost for the entire year except for maintenance works. Anybody has an experience collecting this type of data?
Cheers.

Yes, you can extend the BNC cable with proper connectors, it will have no effect on the data. And its ok to do a continuous testing about one year. Here is a link about the span life, maybe you can make a reference:make_clickable_callback(MAGIC_URL_FULL, '
