Can I easily test the temperature in this unit?

I have never tried to test the temperate ..the front display panel shows what temperature you choose for the dehydrator to run at. If you haven't purchased this yet I would strongly suggest it. I love mine and use it almost every weekend.

I guess if you lift the hood yes, but this unit is very hot to touch while drying in progress

You can poke a thermometer through the slates or in the small gap between the door and the body of the unit. The temp is not too stable, it hovers around the set temp, but is fine for most dehydrating needs.

J, yes this unit will give temperature readings on pipes. I am certain you will find it a useful instrument to give instantaneous temps.

Yes; just don't activate the temperature monitoring function. It is a very nice unit. You have to read the instructions closely when setting the unit up.

You can set the temperature at any point. I wouldn't buy this product it quit working for me 2 days after the warranty ran out.

Yes. There is a button that lets you decide the temperature; there are four degrees.

Probably...the difficulty is going to be getting the sensor to be able to read something that is not static....but, will give you a general idea of the temperature, I think.

Yes there is. It tellsvyou the current temp as well as an option for setting the heater to the temp you want.

No unfortunately I don't think you can it is a generic programmed unit. I purchased a water temp gauge in Celsius on accident and couldn't fix it

I didn't try. I'm not sure it even does read out Ferenheit temps. I just converted the F temps I wanted to C to acheive the desired results. Sorry...

Yes, this could be used as a thermometer display. When below 100F it shows down to the tenths place. Just wire up 3 and 4 to 120v ac, connect the probe to 5 and 6, and leave terminals 1 and 2 disconnected.

Probably not all this does is adds a remote thermometer that turns it on and off overriding the built in one. If the temperature drops to below what you set it simply will not turn on the unit and the inside will match that of the outside

I don't have an accurate enough thermometer to independently verify the temp. However the thermometer on the controller seems to indicate it's maintains the temp within 1 degree of what I set it for.

Mash the button to turn it on- insert probe and it will read the temperature. Turn it off when you are done.

Eric:Like you, I was unable to get a direct read from either of my 2 remote sensors. It, supposedly, will use the readings to "average" the temps, but like you, I would love to see a direct read-out on the face of the stat!Sorry I couldn't help you . . .Mike

Yes. Very simply. Push the f:c button to toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius

The display unit works fine and easily has the range to cover your needs. The method you need to take the measurement may require you to buy a different type of Type K thermocouple that is supplied. The thermocouple probes they supply are very small gauge and tip that is welded so they break easy and since it is small it will react to small changes in temperature. Also take care not to revers the probes in the connectors because the meter body is not keyed to prevent revers connections.

I think that this would work very well. I have used this to measure temps on computer processors and heat buildup on electrical components. should do what you want.
