Hi, i want to know what is the maximum distance for a digital entry. This is very important because we are using liquid level sensors.

Thanks in advance

Hi rollinga,

I'm sorry but I'm afraid I didn't understand your question, what do you mean with maximum distance for a digital entry?

Regards.

The liquid level sensor are 1 mt long more or less. How long the cable could be for the sensor to work properly?

Hi rollinga,

OK, I see now. For digital sensors we usually recommend up to 4 meters wires, but in this case, where the sensor is only a closed or open switch, I don't think there would be any problem with longer cables, what are approximately your needs?

Regards.

Up to 10 meters. Thanks for your response.

Hi rollinga,

As I said, we haven't tested this length, but I think in this case it should work.

Regards.
