Roger,
Why don't you call CB and ask them? They should be able to answer your question.

The two of you are way to hi-tech for me, but it is fun to follow along.

Ridgekid,
The answer to your question is no. They only have input for the 120 volt power and the + and - for the thermocouples. I had thought about using a security cam and hooking it up to our tv network so that I could check the system operation while watching tv.

I need to give a heads up to jebatty (Jim) over on Hearth.com for helping me get started on this project. He pointed me in the right direction to start looking for the parts that I used.
I don't know if he checks in here, but if so thanks again Jim.

I bought the 12"x12" box at Lowes and cut the openings for the metrers and the neon lamp.

RSI,
The picture that I have on the computer shows the temp at the OWB outlet at 168.5°F and the temp at the furnace room entrance is 168.3°F. the temp leaving the side arm is 166.8°F the temp leaving the HX is 163.7°F. I did have to adj. the meters to the differant thermocouples because they were not all the same. The best way that I found to callibrate was to check by using ice water. And it was a pain to get them to the 10th. of a degree. Also in the picture the neon lamp is lit, showing that the OWB induction fan is on.

I made a panel using 6 dig. panel meters with K type thermocouples to check the temps. leaving the OWB, entering the indoor furnace room, leaving the side arm, and leaving the HX going back to the OWB. Also chech the indoor furnace supply and return air temps. I also have a wire from the aquastat to a lamp on the panel to show when the inducer fan is on.
I can't get the pictures to load, but I will keep trying.
