Hi Bill Bradburry -

Bill,

Is this = sensor=20 actually working in your VMS1000 or are you saying that it should=20 theoretically work?  If it is actually working it seems to me = that these=20 less expensive sensors would be the sensors of choice for replacement = until=20 such time as the entire VMS1000 system craps out.  Or I guess = that is=20 what you are saying??

 

Another=20 Bill
