Frequently Asked Questions

Temperature Probe Reads High Or Low (Out Of Specified Range).

If the probe thermometer is placed in water or air, remove it from the water and compare the temperature in a controlled environment (like inside your house) and compare with a red spirit thermometer.

Mercury or red spirit thermometers are very accurate. Inside your house, place a red spirit thermometer next to the digital thermometer. The thermometers should agree within 2 degF.

Here is an example of a red spirit thermometer on Amazon:

They are also available in local hardware stores.

Other Useful Info:

If the sensor is separate, place the sensor in a shaded area on the north side of the structure to avoid direct and radiant heat.
If the sensor is placed in water, the body may have a temperature gradient and the sensors may be at different depths.
