Extra temp probes

[jjdezek]

I just got two temp probs and the salinity probe. I haven't went throug it too much but I did plug one temp probe in and it's not showing up on the portal. Do I have to do any extra programming for them?

You need to reboot controller for it to initialize it..

Ok got it. Now I added the salinity probe but it seems to be reading high. I've been using a swing arm to set my salinity to 1.025 and the probe is reading 42PPT. How acurite is it right out of the box? Do I need to calibrate it or is my salinity really that high?

You need to calibrate

Ok thanks. Where would I get calibration solution?

LFS should have. Also BRS maybe. You could also follow this:

I use my own tank water for calibration
