I have several buried P 1000 temperature probes. Could this be used to read the P 1000 probes?

There are published tables online for your sensor. You can read the temp the sensor is exposed to, manually, by reading the resistance and looking up what temperature that resistance, in ohms, represents[in the table].

Do you mean Pt 100 probes? Those are temperature measurement sensors made of Platinum wire. They are highly accurate sensors. The instrument you are asking about will not "use" those types of probes. It will only use thermocouples which produce a small voltage which the instrument reads and converts to a temperature. The Pt100 or Pt1000 sensor's platinum wire changes resistance with temp. change and that is converted to a temp. output.

I should have included that the pt 100 probes are usually encased in glass and you may be able to see the actual wire at the tip of the probe. If you measure the resistance and look up a chart for conversion you can tell if the probe is reading the actual temperature correctly.

This is the wrong device for your needs. It has only one probe so you can't measure 2 temperatures. Also the lowest temperature it is rated for is 14 deg. F. so not suitable for freezer at all. It is really meant for measuring relative humidity.

I do not know for sure, but some probes I have owned work in other units. If you do purchase this unit, you can test if it works by taking a glass and filling it with ice cubes to the top. Then fill it with water so that the ice cubes are completely submerged and stick the probe into the middle of the cup with the ice. It should read to 32F or 0C within 3 minutes. If it does not, then it sadly will not work with that particular unit.

My silicone coated needle probe did not last on the BBQ, so I would not use any probe for anything on the BBQ apart from taking a quick temperature reading. Here's my review of the probe: http://www.amazon.com/ThermoWorks-Pro-Series-Needle-Probe-ChefAlarm/product-reviews/B00EZBB8AQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_top_recent?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints;=0&sortBy;=bySubmissionDateDescending

It is designed and calibrated for specific buidling products. It would not work for this use, and was not the least bit accurate. Using both probes on the same material did not produce results that were remotely similar. I returned the product.

No. It reads the "black body" radiation from the first surface it encounters. I presume your cover is insulated so the temp measured would be that of the outside layer of the insulation. Use a temperature probe in your scupper that has a wire to the readout like they do for barbecues. Those even allow you to set alarms for over/under temp situations.Good luck!

It is often used for kiln control and will go up to 1,000 F. You need to be careful about what type of thermal probe you use and its range.

I not shure that the supplied probes can be used at furnace temperature. That seems to be TP-01 probes that can be used up to 752F(400C) The TP-02, TP-03 and TP04 probes can be used upto 1292F(700C). That is whats available from supplier. The instrument can display up to 2372 degF (1300degC). The connector seems to be standard type for thermocouples, like that used by Fluke. You can probably use probe from anothe manufacturer.

The display unit works fine and easily has the range to cover your needs. The method you need to take the measurement may require you to buy a different type of Type K thermocouple that is supplied. The thermocouple probes they supply are very small gauge and tip that is welded so they break easy and since it is small it will react to small changes in temperature. Also take care not to revers the probes in the connectors because the meter body is not keyed to prevent revers connections.

Yes you can. Probes are available on iDevices website. http://idevicesinc.com

Yes. The seller DBROTH has replacement probes (here on Amazon IIRC) and is very responsive. But do read all the reviews.

I used my probe to check water temperature and now it does not work. I would say you should not use this probe to check liquids.

You can but it will activate the circuit because it's probe voltage is too high, so it's really not meant to. If you want to do in circuit measurements get a dedicated ESR meter. The ESR function on this device isn't really very accurate anyway, it's mainly useful for transistor testing and LCR.

It can't read thermocouple inputs, only voltage for analog. You can use a thermocouple transmitter to convert to a 4-20 mA signal it can read, though you are probably better off purchasing a DAQ that accepts thermocouple inputs. Measurement computing sells those too.

It can be used for anything that the probe can be inserted in. Liquids or soft solids. Of course, the automatic temperature to check specific finish for meats and fish can't be used, but temperature can be read.

your trying to check the ambient temp and the tip should be not be touching the grate ....rember its the tip of the probe that does the reading >>>>> it comes with a holder

To test my unit I submerged the probe in water that I knew was over/under a given temperature. I didn't read that you could or could not anywhere, all I can say is that I did for a short period of time and that doing so hasn't damaged anything.
