Supported sensor cables
Chester X1 reads any cable that implements the standard digital sensor protocol used across the industry. The list below is known to work; cables not listed may also work — send us the model and we’ll test.
Confirmed compatible
- GrainLink GL-T8, GL-T12, GL-TH8, GL-TH12 — native cables, full feature support including humidity.
- OPI Integris standard digital cables — temperature only.
- BinSense classic cables — temperature only.
- IntegriCable digital — temperature and humidity.
Known incompatible
- Any analog (thermistor) cable that requires a vendor-specific reader. These can sometimes be retrofitted with a digital head — contact support.
- Older 4–20 mA loop cables.
Migrating from another vendor
If you’re swapping out a competitor’s controller but keeping the cables in the bin:
- Photograph the cable connector before disconnecting.
- Send the photo and the cable model number to support before scheduling install.
- We’ll confirm compatibility and ship a pigtail adapter if needed.
In most cases the swap is plug-and-play with no climbing inside the bin.
