Hi, I noticed that the advertizement for the ExTech Big Digit Thermometer (401014) says it reads the temperature in Fahrenheit as well as in Celsius. I want to take the thermometer to Spain, and it needs to display the temperature in Celsius. Please let me know if there is a button on the back so you can make that conversion. Thanks for checking.

Norm, YES, there is a C / F selector slide switch on the back. Been using it in FL for years now. It has the best, clearest, most contrast LCD display. Mine has been reading 88 days and 79 nights for the last few weeks, enjoy Espanol ........ Display is just like the photo.....

Si, Senor! In fact, I just tested it and it switched easily. It is a simple F-C switch on the back.

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.

Yes. I am a bit disappointed it takes that long. Also, it only reads in Celcius.

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

I uploaded a picture of how to convert it to Fahrenheit in "Customer Images". You can see it if you click on "Customer Images" to the right of the reviews area. In text: To convert this thermometer to Fahrenheit open it and find three small square pads on the circuit board. Connect the "inner" one (i.e. the one closer to the center of the board) and the pad in the middle together. Don't try to solder them it's far too difficult. Instead squish some foil into a ball and tape it in position.

Absolutely, it shows results in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. It is very easy to switch between them. I remember just holding the top two buttons for a little while and it would switch between the f and C. It also remembers what you last switched it to. This is a cool thermometer.

It displays the actual temperature, you don't see the temperature preset unless you go to the program setting mode. Just remember, it only displays celcius. I have another thermometer in my cooler that displays the temperature in farenheit. It was a fun project to wire and set up. I am a complete novice with electrical circuits, but a fairly handy person.

No problem at all. The temperature listed is for Celsius, which is 185 Fahrenheit.

if i remember this oven is digital...the lower numbers are the celsius. So if you are looking at the recipes some are written in celscius instead of farenheight. if its a lower than normal number odds are its in celcius. There should be a conversion table in most cookbooks,etc. Its about a 40% difference. Some oven have dials on them w/ on celicus on them. on this one it only goes up to 260 degrees on the digital moniter which is about equal to 450 degrees. Try to find a conversion table.

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

The temperature can be read from either side. It will be read normally from the inside but it will be backwards when read from the outside. no problem reading, either side.

There are two models of the DROK meter, one that reads Fahrenheit and one that reads Celsius. The Celsius model can't read Fahrenheit and vice versa. To switch to the temperature readout (from voltage or time) press the button marked "m" (mode). Hope that helps.

Go by the battery that came with the product. Had mine since 7/6/2010 and now working on a 3rd battery (helps to turn it off when you're done). I have the RT600C-N thermometer, which is the same as the Amazon add. Original battery was an A76/LR4 (make unknown), replaced with a Duracell D357 and now replacing that with an Energizer A76. If you google the number from the original battery, you should be able to come up with a description of the battery, which many times includes a flock of equivalent numbers that it can replace. In the info I found, A76 and D357 are listed as replacements for each other, but not CR2032. Also CR2032 replacements don't include A78 or D357. Hope this helps.

First, you must get a digital thermometer. DO NOT trust the thermometer on this unit. Only digital thermometers are 100% accurate. You can get a cheap one here on http://amazon.com. The correct temperature should be 99.5 give or take ONE degree. Good Luck!

The one pictured is not the one we have available. Ours has the Fahrenheit listed in big letters with the Celsius in small. I see from the manufacturers website, they have a second model which seems to be the one pictured here.

That's a good question & something I hadn't thought about,so I went looking through my manual & found nothing about Celsius. So I done some research online & unfortunately it does NOT switch to read Celsius. I would've assumed it did, because when you first turn it on it shows the C & F,but always reads the temperature in F. So with that said I found the answer on a review on Walmart.com posted from the manufacturer support person, so I believe it to be true & will share. The question was asked Does the Thermometer shows the temperature in Celsius? Answer: A: No, unfortunately this thermometer only displays temperatures in Fahrenheit. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

The probes furnished with the thermometer would not stand up to 392F. I would go with the temperatures listed by Taylor. The instructions on setting the high and low settings and alarm times leave something to be desired. Once you figure out how to set it, the thermometer works very well. I use them on HVAC equipment and recirculating hot water heating systems to measure supply and return temperatures. By checking the temperatures several times a day, I make sure the equipment is operating correctly.
