can you calibrate the thermometer yourself? (Field calibration)

I don't know & haven't looked into it. The temperature reported seems very consistent with what I would expect from the appearance of the meat or poultry.

No, There is no way to calabrate it. Inorder to do so you would need a series of know control set temperetures and away to adjust the thermometer. I am sure this is done at the factory. hope this answered your question.

No adjustment as far as know. I have checked it against other thermo devices and it is within one degree. For my work in the Oil Field of North Dakota. This is satisfactory. And it is pretty rugged and endures some extreme cold tempurture for days at a time. Been very happy with mine. I carry two at all times.

As far as I know, no you can't, of course you can test the unit you get with ice and boiling water, its what I did just to double check. Seems to be a pretty straight forward out of the box thermometer.

Interesting question. You might try the Taylor site. My past experience has been that the calibration isn't correct if it is replaced. My friend upgraded to this unit when his failed. I will probably follow suit. ChefAlarm by ThermoWorks - (Red)

yes dear Hippychick it says on the front of the package that it is Recalibratable. The instructions for recalibration are pretty simple. Using ice and water. i have been very happy with my Thermometer.

Yes you can. This thermometer is very flexible and doesn't have all of the "preset" settings like so many others. You can program it easily to give you an alert for the desired temperature. Most versatile thermometer I have owned yet.

It self calibrated when I first set it up. I have moved it twice since then with no problems.

The only calibration I have seen happens during each power-on. The directions ask for a vial of clear pool water and it self calibrates.

I do not find these to be accurate. Adequate, but not accurate. Use a secondary thermometer, if you have one to find out where you need to set the thermostat to reach the desired temp.

I would be wary of the accuracy, there are "dead spots". I ordered two of these and both of them had a "dead zone" of about 6 degrees (from 76°F-82°F) where it would show it was 76° until it suddenly spiked to 82°.

Hi, I checked the manual it does not list calibration procedures. This is an inexpensive unit and when it goes bad it is time for a new one. I had their previous model for 5 years before it needed to be replaced. Good luck

There is no place to use an AC adapter, so I would say no to that. So far it hasn't needed calibration and we have owned ours for almost two years.

Have not tried that . Would be very awkward. Holds a charge a long time. The toughest thing I have found is that the thermometer has to to be calibrated for for each type of material that you are testing for the test to be accurate. Hard to know exactly what the material is particularly if it is a blended material product.

I think this product is factory calibrated and there is no option for later recalibration by the user. Only option would be to open it and reverse engineer the PCB inside the clock.

I saw no way to calibrate it, and contacted the manufacturer when my chlorine reading was way off. They did not mention calibration. I tried 2 kits and gave up after my chlorine reading was way off on both.

I found nothing in the instructions on how to calibrate. We just installed ours and so far it's accurate. Time will tell.

I did not "calibrate" my oven thermometer I just just the Admetior in the middle of the oven. Heated it to 350. Checked they were the same. 20 minutes later I checked again and they were the same. I can't really read my oven thermometer anymore, but at least I know it works.

Thermometer is not adjustable, but would be out of calibration as soon as you heated again because of the bi-metal. If you don't want to be adjusting all the time go digital.

I don't see why it wouldn't give you that temp. You wouldn't want to stick it too far into the soil though, so it might not stand up. Almost any thermometer would do for that.
