I live in Casper WY. Will this pen work in subzero temps as it says (-30 to 250 degrees)?

I've never experienced that low temp. For the ten or more years I've carried one, it has never failed.

I live in Indiana and it was recently 18 below zero. Fahrenheit. I decided to test this out as I had the same question and it sounds just like it does when it was 100 degrees. But one of the trumpets fell out of the squeaker thing. Just crazy glued it. When I installed it I also needed 25 feet of 14 gauge wire and butt connectors also a switch. Very nice thing. Only needs so much wire because I mounted it on the inner fender well on the passenger side

I throw a comforter over the pen during the winter. Its not insulated so depending on where you live it may be too cold during deep winter.

The iron setting is 180C to 480C. I'm not sure what the average temp on a 15W pen would be.

Not that we know of. We live in NC, so we don't get below zero temps. But, it worked perfectly when we were down to 10 degrees.

Yes. I put the probe tip in ice water and got the reading down as low as 35° F. Just don't get the entire probe wet or it will short out.

Batteries are problems at low temps as you probably know. This link (http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA239115) tells you more than you would care to know.But electronic devices in general, it seems to me, scoff at low temperatures. So it seems if you don't find someone with actual experience, the odds should favor this device working.

Yes, I have used it at about 35 degrees F. It's components are an electric motor, hydraulic fluids and metal and they should all work below freezing.

Well I am not sure....since it is not currently working. The pen stopped working 5 days after we bought it.....I would suggest a better model.

Works great here in MS. Our average low temp is about 28-30 degrees. My BTC has snapped pics in single digit temps also.

Yes it will! The battery in this pack is an AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat), and are capable of maintaining their charge in very cold climates. All batteries will have a lower capacity in the cold, so I would recommend keeping it inside, and fully charged for when you need it. I live in a milder climate, but even at 10 Degrees Farenheit, there is no difference in it.

No. I have one and the temp gets to 25 below zero and it still works properly. I suggest that you return the item.

I returned this pen after receiving as it was not what I originally thought. Unfortunately, unable to answer your question.

There's a tiny Reset hole on the back.... You'll have to use a pin because the hole is smaller than an ink pen tip.... If this doesn't work you can do what I did.... Return it and make them unfreeze it..... Be sure to have them send you a return number so you don't end up paying shipping... Good Luck!

It has worked well in temps below 50 f. I have not run it any colder yet but I feel it should have no problems. It starts instantly.

Being that cold is most likely going to affect the z-wave performance. No mention of operating temperatures in the package that I can find.

Down into the freezing area, you'll be fine. Even short periods of sub freezing if it's covered. It will run most of the time but stay 104. Below zero? I doubt it.
