Does the controller continuously show the temp of the probe like a thermometer would so this could this be used as just a thermometer?

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.

It will only measure surface temp. I use it to measure the temperature of milk for cheese making and I have to stir it really well before I measure to get an accurate reading.

The probe only, of course... but keep in mind the readout is ONLY in Celsius, NOT in Fahrenheit!

The controller comes with a 1/8" female jack on top.The temperature probe is a thermometer that plugs into the jack. It tells you the inside temp and also alters the charge float that changes with temperature.

NO, this is simply a visual indicator of the temperature in the vicinity of the temperature probe.The same company has a similar unit that allows one to program the fan "turn-on" temperature for up to 4 fans.Neither device has any DAS ( data aquistition system ) features.

Yes, a temp shows, probably air temp. It increases (or decreases if meat is cold) once inserted and the meat begins to cook. I like it, but I do wish the probe cable was a bit longer.

It only has one temp probe input, so if you ONLY wanted to monitor the oven, then yes. If you wanted to monitor your food and the oven temp, you would need a monitor with dual inputs. There might be better temp probes for the job though (check the thermoworks website for options), the needle probe is not ideally suited for measuring air temp, but it does do the job.

Yes, it can measure the temp continuously, however it cannot be left in the oven or a grill/smoker. To use in a oven, etc. you would need a temp probe ona heat resistant cable and the control unit away from the heat.

Hi,If you change the mode to fan or dehumidify the current temp will display. Otherwise the temp shows the desired temp, rather than current temp.

I say no as it can mess with the RTD and temps. If you do, keep it away from the probe. (This is from rec tec themselves)

No. It only measures surface temps.On a side note, my unit broke within an hour of delivery. I would not recommend this product.

I have never used the probes up to this temp but I think they may need to be encased in something to protect them. I would think one of the long pointed probes which are available would work better. I have only used the provided probes attached to the outside of a hot pipe to measure its temp.

Yes; it shows the setpoint while you hold an adjustment button, but after you release the +/- button it reverts to showing the actual temperature (of the heater -- the tip temperature lags a little as it does on any station).

The probe is very accurate. I think the probe is unique to this unit, but any 2 wire probe should work with it. Don't forget the temp on this unit is only in Celsius.

This device works wonderfully, but it measures the EXTERNAL temperatures of whatever it is pointed at. I use it to check the wheel bearings on my trailers, etc.

The pad is set for a certain max temp but the controller is basically a rheostat (dimmer switch) that reduces the amount of current going to the pad.

yes it has one (1) temperature probe. The unit I have is accurate within +/- 2 Celsius
