Is there a way to change the temperature display from *C to *F ?

There appears to be no way to change the readout to read degrees F, so a good way is to make a notation of what temperature in degrees F you desire on a piece of tape and fasten it to the side of the soldering station, so you can dial (punch) in the appropriate temperature in degrees C. You should have only a few settngs for conversion.

Check the manual. If you no longer can find it go to http://luxproducts.com/support/TX500E_ENG_Manual121409.pdf On the first page, in the second column you find information about three small switches. They are on the backside or inside of the unit. One of the three switches lets you switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Good luck!

I called the company and they suggested flipping the unit over and removing the cover from the digital display. If there are dip switches on the digital display board then you can change to Fahrenheit. If there are no dip switches then you can't change to Fahrenheit. My suggestion is to find a good temp and Google the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion just so you get an idea. You'll get used to Celsius.

Yes. You can set temperature or operating mode manually. There are three push buttons on the device.

Sorry but none of the STC-1000 temperature controllers I have purchased will display in F. They work great, I just use the equation to get F: (F - 32) x 5 / 9 = C I wish there were a better way.

Yes. The button below the On/Off button toggles the display between Fahrenheit/Celsius. It also has Hold, Min/Max, and Reset buttons.

Sorry, I am still trying to find out if you can program different temp setting for different times. No one seems to be able to answer the question.

I don't know. The only thing that I could do was to get the temp. set from C to F. Sorry.

Yes, there is. You hold the button down and it changes from Cº to Fº and vice versa. Not sure why so many people answered no. I found this out by accident, pushing the button.

Yes, it can be switched between degrees F (the default temp reading when first turned on with the scan button) then simply press the middle small button to switch to degrees C and press scan button again to rescan in degrees C.

Hi Sean, I guess you have found out by now, but for everybody else who follows this forum, here's the words from the manual: -------------------------------------- (1) Make sure the thermometer is turned off. (2) Press and hold down the start button (IRT 4020) or the I/O button (IRT 4520). After about 3 seconds the display will show this sequence: C / SET / F / SET ... (3) Release the start button / I/O button when the desired temperature scale is shown. There will be a short beep to confirm the new setting, then the thermometer is turned off automatically. ---------------------------------------- cheers, Ingo

Yes, sure you can. Check the Advanced Settings. Press UP and SET buttons and hold until gets into a menu number, then press the lower right button until you get to the #14 menu and set "1" for Celsius or "0" for Fahrenheit (with UP_DOWN)

You shouldn't need to change any settings, if you're using the BIOS screen at startup, otherwise if you're using the BIOS feature within Windows it should still display your temperatures. Maybe it could be some funky setting you have so try putting everything back to factory settings and make sure bios is updated to the latest version. And make sure the echo settings are off. If you want more insight other than what the bios provided to you with I would recommend using some 3rd party monitor from within your operating system. Hope this helps. :-)

Press and hold the up and down temp at same time for 3 seconds. That will unlock the temp and you can then change it up or down. :)

It shows the actual temperature (in celcius). You have to go through the menu to see the set point.

It does in F for sure. It may read temp in C but I have never needed it to. The best multimeter I have ever owned.

Yes. It can indicate both C or F. Please check the instructions. You have to do a long press on the button to change F to C
