Dual Probe high temp shut off?

[Photosynthesis]

I am looking for a Dual probe high temp shut off. I am setting up a little flip with just a couple of 600 watt ballasts, and I want to be able to have high temp shut offs for both sides. I literally have 5-6 C.A.P. High Temp shut offs, but they only have a single probe.

I spoke with a guy at Titan controls, and he said that you can't just open up a unit, and connect another probe. They also would not custom make one for me.

Anyone have any ideas on where to get one, or some instructions on how to make one?

Thanks!

cant you just wire them in series with the lighting contactor?

Why do you want a dual-probe unit if you have several singles? As Avenger said, you can series the contacts in your lighting control loop and use your existing gear.

They plug in. So I would have to plug both into each other? I am a little confused.

I pulled up a link for the CAP HLC-1E and it looks like that would work. Plug one thermostat into the incoming power, the second into the first, and then your ballast controls.

I don't know what components you are using or what you have in mind, but if you are using a timer to power your ballasts, then you would want to put the thermostats downstream from the timer so that you won't lose the time setting when the power is shut off by the thermostats.
