EnviroPro
16" = 40cm = 4 sensors
32" = 80cm = 8 sensors
48" = 120cm = 12 sensors
64" = 160cm = 16 sensors
Sentek
12" = 30cm = 3 sensors
24" = 60cm = 6 sensors
36" = 90cm = 9 sensors
48" = 120cm = 12 sensors
EC Included: This is a predetermined setting and the choice should be selected based on the specifications of the probe itself
