Apex and Pinpoint PH probe

[Treebeard]

I needed a new PH probe and had a gift certificate to local fish store but all they had was a Pinpoint. He assured me that it would work but from what I have googled results have been mixed. Does anyone have any experience with using the Pinpoint with an Apex controller? I have not used it yet and can still return it.

Don't they need a USB adapter ? I went to buy a Apex probe for a Pinpoint controller but was told by J&L Apex has a USB style plug instead of the universal round end on probes. ??

Apex has round plug

You need another module if running more than one probe plus an ORP. There are 2 ph ports otherwise if no ORP is used. As mentioned they are round exactly the same as a Pinpoint connection.

Thanks all. I will give the Pinpoint a go.

Ok thx guys, maybe mis-communication on the phone. The Pinpoints were out of stock at the time so I was just going to get an Apex probe. Thought that was kinda odd.

Out of stock where?

J&L at the time, month ago ? Why ?

[Treebeard]

I just read your previous posts..sorry for not responding to the one about J&L and the interface. I can confirm that the Pinpoint uses the round BNC connection, not USB. I picked mine up at OC on 16th for $46.99 in case you are still needing one.

A fair price, thanks.
