how accurate is the temp probe? Is this probe a standard type of probe or is it unique to this unit?

temp probe is very accurate to a tenth degree. don't if it's unique to the unit but then You don't need another one.

The probe is very accurate. I think the probe is unique to this unit, but any 2 wire probe should work with it. Don't forget the temp on this unit is only in Celsius.

I have not checked its accuracy against other thermometers. I do know the unit functions well and i have had no issues with it. I use it to switch on and off an incondesant light bulb that heats a small space where a control unit for a lumber kiln is. The manufacturer recommends that it not be exposed to temperatures less than 40 degrees. So right now, it is not doing anything but reading a fairly high temp and keeping the circuit open.

The temp probe is a standard 10k NTC 1% Thermistor. You can buy or build custom replacements easily.

I don't have an accurate enough thermometer to independently verify the temp. However the thermometer on the controller seems to indicate it's maintains the temp within 1 degree of what I set it for.

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.

I sent mine back shortly after receiving it because it was very inaccurate. However, with my other Infrared Temp guns I have measured cooking oil temperature.

No this device like most metal contact probes operates by thermoelectric metalic temperature measurement. We use a larger version of these to measure deep frying of Turkeys with no problem for many years.

The probe is bent to 90 degrees, near the top, to allow easier placement into roasts, etc. That said, I doubt it's manufactured to be repeatedly bent. I think, if you want to measure surface temperature, you'd be better off getting an infrared thermometer (available at Amazon, ranging from about $17 to about $50). They're specifically designed for measuring surface temperatures. You just point the thermometer at the surface and depress the trigger/switch, and the digital screen shows the temperature.

Pretty accurate, I have another digital probe thermometer and they are within just a couple degrees of each other.

Some of these units come with a clip to allow you to attach it to the side of a pot. So long as the probe is not touching the bottom or side of the pot you should get a reliable reading. Just be sure you have stirred the pot so the temp of the liquid is uniform.

I've had this probe for my digital/wireless thermometer for a few years now... It's still going strong. It is braided steel for the wire, and then that hard, solid plastic to push into the base of your thermometer.

Not sure, I have only used it once and left the probe in a pork shoulder for hours. It seemed to react quickly to the meat temperature though.

I only use my 2 channel (only 1 probe operates at a time) for HVAC measurments. I do not use the probes that came with the unit because ther were only the wire type. It works great. Best of luck, For Clothes dryers I use a laser type to measure the temp.

yes, the temperature probe is included with the UT202 unit. I have measured temp in the oven and freezer for confirmation of temperature settings. This is a nice unit and I recommend for around the house or small business to monitor volts, amps, and temperatures.

I couldn't tell you, but I can tell you I had to buy a new temp guage shorty after I bought my replacement probe, so I should have just bought the whole unit from the start

Not sure. But the probe stopped working after using it about 3x. So it's just a timer now. NOT worth the money I spent

It came with test leads and 1 temperature probe. Temperature probe more for oven calibration or fridge temp. I already had one probe for fryer.

No, it is not temperature regulated. Looking at the pictures, there is no way the base station can determine the temperature of the tip, and without this feedback, the base station cannot adjust the wattage to maintain the correct voltage.

Temp fluctuation when the probe is submerged is 1-2 degrees. It doesn't have anything attached to circ fluid but the response of the probe to change is quick and unless you need less than 1 degree accuracy I would recommend this gizmo.
