Does the display show actual tip temperature or just the preset?

It is actually both, you preset the temperature, then can see the temp climb as the tip heats up, and it holds very accurately at the set temp. There are several modes it can display and it tells you when sleep mode is active as well.

Maximilian, I still have limited experience but the few soldering jobs I've done, the display has stayed at the set temp. There are audible alarms (beeps) to indicate temp status. The composite tips have a sensor integrated. If you place the handle in the cradle the unit will sleep mode it but the set temp returns very rapidly when you remove it. You can also set temperature offsets, this unit is very versatile and has helped me to do better soldering given my skill level. The unit isn't cheap but I'm delighted with it. Money well spent. You can get more info at Hakko USA website and download the instruction pages. Good luck!

Yes, after the setting is adjusted the display switches back to the current temperature.

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.

The temperature settings are 6 buttons representing levels low&gt;mid&gt;high. Unfortunately there is not a number readout for temperature nor does it indicate what temperature each of the 6 levels are.

Yes, the current temperature, and there's also a red light on the left of the display to indicate whether its heating or cooling, and if it's in an active heat/cool mode.

Sorry, you have to push the up or down arrow button to display the set temperature. On the other hand, after your system has operated for a while, the displayed ambient temp. is pretty much the set temp. because of the rather narrow temp. "swing" (even with the maximum "swing" of 1-1/4 degree F).

I don't use mine on a regular basis, but if I recall there was something in the instructions regarding the tip and the function of the unit or non function as you are experiencing. I have had no issues with my unit.

Mine remembers the last used temp. I don't change that much. I altered one of the presets slightly for my favorite temp, although don't recall that I made it the startup default. But it pops up to that temp everytime I turn it on. Just checked it again for you simply altering it on the fly, turned off, and it popped right back to the new (last set) temp. Fine unit; don't know what I did without it.

Answer.I believe that the heat will still come on to what ever it was set at, you just won't see anything in the display?

I don't recall if the temps were on it. It was very difficult to read. I ditched the unit shortly after purchasing. As I recall, I had to make a mark so I knew where "off" was. It's one of those you-get-what-you-pay-for items. I'd spend a bit more and get something a little nicer. Sorry I couldn't be more positive about it :( ~~Susan~~

Digital display will give you a precise temperature readout (if it is calibrated with a temperature probe). I am very happy with my FX888D. Be sure to read the instructions a couple of times; it is a little confusing on how to setup the presets, and if you do not do it right you will end up changing the temperature calibration.

Andrew, I recall that the display will show you what the target temperature is as you are setting it, then it will revert to the actual temperature. I liked this heater a lot, it kept a very steady temp-- then I inadvertently broke it when it didn't get unplugged during a water change-- the glass heated up and it cracked with the fresh water add... total bonehead mistake, I know much better. The material inside got all over and I did lose a couple fish over it and many water changes to resolve. Then I bought an unbreakable. I hadn't broken a heater more than 15 years of keeping fish so I wouldn't let that sway me unless you think it might be an issue.

the temperature probe is on the back of the unit. you can leave it down or open it in the upward position, it works well in in both positions. The display is digital and is very easy to program or you can change the settings manually.

The display shows the present temp in the room. If you push the up arrow, the display changes to the setpoint and if you keep pressing up, the set point increases. Example, 66 in the room, and 66 on the display. I push the up until it reads 71. When I release the up arrow, the display goes back to 66 and within a second or two, the fire logs come on and stay on till the room reaches 71. I hope that answers your question.

The temperature is taken by the thin part of the thermometer. All of the thin tip can be used to get an accurate measurement.

Yes it does show temp. Although my went all weird and starter telling me it was 289 after about 2 years. Check out the Pathfinder from Casio as it is the same type of watch but solar powered. I have had mine for 2 years and no issues.

I used to check tap temp. Accurate. Fluid surface temps do vary though. Very accurate on everything else. Good value.
