I've discovered that the problems we've been experiencing on our

How are the sensors connected back to the consol, wires or radio?

to the serial cable connected to the PC.

It might be getting into the serial cable but bear in mind that RS232 runs
at a nominal +/- 12V signal level but should work down to +/- 3V.


I assume you use a mains extension cable that is supressed, standard £10
job, the reason I mention this is I used to get -50°C spikes on my WMII
everytime the tumble drier was switched on, but one of these
cables/sockets sorted the problem out.
