Default Engle Wireless Refrigerator Thermometer Tips

Where is the best place to mount the refrigerator sender unit in the refrigerator? Assume the best way to mount is with double sided tape? Any other recommendations?

I would say close to the top since that's where the temp is going to be highest. I have a wired thermometer and always make sure the probe is near the top as I've seen significant variations from top to bottom in my MT45.

How do you guys like your Engle Wireless Thermo? I just picked up the new version and i kind of liked my old Two Zone better.

Can you even turn the new Engle off? Looks like i need to yank the batteries.

I did not know they had one.
Can you provide a link?

I just have the standard ARB one next to the dial, and I use a conversion chart for the temps.

I have the ARB with the digital read out as well, but it's nice to monitor the temps outside and the time from outside the trailer.

Here's the Twozone....

The Engle is nice too. I was just wondering what people thought.

Thanks Dave, I found the Engel one.
http://www.roadtrucker.com/engel/eng...ccessories.htm

So if you were going to go with one, you feel the wireless Two Zone one is a better choice?

PS, can not find the Two Zone one locally, but I see Wil at Sierra has the Engel one.

A little off topic but I will ask anyway. My only complaint about the TwoZone wireless is having to use Military time when in Fahrenheit. Celsius is the default for standard 12 hour time. My question is the Engle wireless the same or does it give standard 12 hour time with Fahrenheit.

Thanks
