How does temperature affect reading? Is it better to get temperature compensated unit?

pH of a solution increases with temperature, but only slightly. For accurate reading, temp.compensation unit is better i.e more reliable. But, for most household work, this change is not significant.

The specs on their website says the readings displayed will be in .05 degree increments but the accuracy is +- .2 degrees. So if you need more than a .2 degree accuracy, this isn't accurate enough for you.

We were told that sometimes heat can make it turn off or mess up the reading. So that might be it.

Its reading in celcius. 38° celcius is 100° fareheight... there should be directionns on how to change the readout to °F..

i've only used it for instant reads but it shows increasing rises in temp. i wouldn't leave it in for any length of time. hopes this helps.

The MIN/MAX button on the right shows 3 temperatures, high for the day, low for the day and current. Maybe you need to push the button to get to the current indoor reading :o)

The temperature reader is simply a probe at the end of a wire and the temp of the inside of the case is displayed on the LCD screen. There are 2 USB connectors so if your motherboard's USB inputs are already populated by the front panel inputs you'll have to make a choice. I am using only the fan controllers and the primary USB header. I wanted to use the audio header but it doesn't work so I had to resort to the cases audio ports and the soundcard inputs for headphone use. Very disappointed in this piece and I would recommend a front panel reader from a more well known company.

I haven't worked on many with this reader. every vehicle i have used it on however has had different real time information i think the reader reads information given by vehicle computer so if the vehicle computer program is programmed to monitor trans fluid temp. the reader will read it.

No. I'm not sure what you mean by "color temperature". I guess you are asking if colorsc can be changed on the main reading lamp. The answer is no. Reading lamp doesn't change colrs, only brightness.

Just put it on a shelf or hang under one and give it a little time to stabilize at the temperature oft he box.It doesn't read instantly.

It reads fairly quick. I'd say 3 seconds or so. Yes you can move it to another piece. You'll see a little satellite icon flash on the read out , indicating that its transmitting temp.

You cling it to the outside of the window and it reads the outside temperature. Note: Mount it where direct sunlight will NOT fall if possible. Direct sunlight will give elevated, false readings. If you put it in a room indoors, it reads the ambient room temperature. It works both ways.

I came across this site by accident. It explains a lot of things that people might not know will affect their readings. 1) temperature of the liquid 2) how deep the meter is in the liquid 3) how settled the liquid is around the meter, bubbles affect readings. http://www.chemistryland.com/CHM130FieldLab/Lab2/Lab2.html

I do believe mine maintains the temperature close to +/- 1 degree but, more important, this range is adjustable. The TX500E has an adjustment for swing (their term) or temperature differential, and also another to calibrate the temperature reading so that it reads the exact room temperature. You can download a user manual by doing a search for TX500E. Both procedures are in the manual. Good luck.

I haven't had any trouble with mine. When immersed or poked into something, I get a reading within a few seconds, max.

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.

I bought this as a gift and did plenty of research into the same question and the answer I found was yes, this prob should, according to the manufacturer, read two different temperatures at once.
