Hello.
Basically I have a Alluminium pipe that is small, and it varies temperature from about 40 Celcius to say 150 degrees Celsius.
What I want to do is have some sort of sensor that monitors the temperature of this pipe and switches a relay at two different temperature points that i desire, so for example to give out an earth that I can use to trigger relays.
Example :
Trigger 1 ON ---> 100C or anywhere above
Trigger 1 OFF ----> When pipe reaches down to 70C ...
and so on, when it heats up back to 100C, It will trigger the relay, and switch off at 70C or any temperature I want.
So basically I need some sort of device that can firmly attach to the wall of the pipe without being affected by ambient temperature, and some sort of controller or relay that I can customize.
The pipe does get hot, so the way of attaching the sensor to the pipe must ensure it wont come off with heat etc, e.g adhesive tape might not hold up in the long run depending on the type.
Simplicity is the key as that is the only function I require.
Any Ideas?
Thanks.
