Pyrometer problems

Rut Roh This is copied off the directions for your guage.
NOTE: The length of the wire attached to the probe cannot to be modified (either lengthened or shortened) without affecting the
calibration and readings on the gauge. If there is excess left after routing the wire, please coil it up and wire tie it loosely under hood.
Here is the link to the directions themselves.

Whenever you splice thermocouple wire (this is especially true on a pyrometer) you create whats called another measurement junction. Even if you could make it work, splicing the wires would introduce a large amount of error into the measurement due to the extra measurement junction. When you are measuring very minor changes in millivolts, a small amount of error throws the measurement way out.

There are a bunch of different types of thermocouples
